Conducted by Father Cassian
10th of Sun’s Smile, 1724

 

With a gathering of descendants in toe, His Serenity, the Empyrion Ithrendas Regis of The Concord, sovereign of the peoples of Llyria, walked with Father Cassian to the beach of the city of Omeryn. There they paused, and surveyed the great bank that encompassed the edge of the port city as those who had accompanied them formed an arc about the two. It was then that silence befell the gathering, broken only by the calm shifting of the nearby waves, and the distant laughter of a festival in progress. 

 

“A moment, if you will.” Cassian began, regarding the great expanse of blue before him. As he cleared his throat, and focused his mind, he lowered himself down onto one knee and placed his hands, with fingers splayed, onto the top of the water. Cassian then began a slow and careful utterance, released loudly enough for all gathered to hear and comprehend. “Et ego benedicere sanctis aquae in Nomine Deus et Exaltus Honorem, Amen.”

 

Cassian signed the Lorraine Cross over the waters, and regarded Ithrendas with a short nod. “Into the waters with me, if you would.” He directed, easing his own way into the ocean, ceasing his advance as the waters reached his waist. Cassian extended his arms and turned Ithrendas, who had accompanied him forth, such that the Elf was then facing him.

 

Father Cassian slowly brought his hands together, and formed a great cup with which he scooped a portion of the blessed waters below. He then raised his arms up, high above Ithrendas’s head, and spoke. “I baptize you in the name of God, the Exalted, and the saints. . .” And as he spoke the water trickled down, from his hands which parted to allow it passage, falling softly upon Ithrendas’s cranium. “Be cleansed by the waters of Gamesh and be free from all sin and vice.”

 

As the last of the water made its way down upon the elven man, Cassian’s countenance turned to joy, and he regarded the gathered crowd with a smile. And as he looked upon them all, with Ithrendas still in view, he uttered a short hymn in a mildly carol tone. “Joins alia hodie gregem item nostrum significat has coepi alio itinere ad horam in lumine Domini.”

 

“Thus. . .” Cassian began, leading Ithrendas from the waters as the crowd clapped and congratulated. “. . . another joins our flock. Huzzah!” And thus, the Empyrion was baptised into the Canonist church.

Sitting in his study within the Palais Varoche, Daniel received a brisk knock on the door. He rose up from his desk, welcoming the guest, a Pontifical nuncio by the name of Sinjun. With the cardinal’s arrival, so too was brought the news of the Empyrion’s baptism into the Church. With pleasant surprise and light perplexity, the High Pontiff returned to his former preoccupation.

 

With Sinjun’s dismissal, he prepared vellum and pen, and took to writing letters.

While sitting in his seat within the chapel of Saint Daniel, Archbishop Ernst of Curonia receives a swift letter bearing this information. Ernst then says to himself: “This Father Cassian seems a very bright fellow.” Ernst then nods once and continues his afternoon prayer.
