-Background Goes Here-

Testament

Silence. Listen. In the hushed, still black of the night - yea, even this very night - I am there. For you, the night has long been one of many masks, giving you succor and sanctuary. No more.

Now let your masks be in service to Me. I Choose you, Sapphire Veil, and raise you up. No more let your masks hide weakness and shame. Instead, let them hide your power, as the night veils the light of day. Let my mark show upon your brow in the secret places of the world. Go to these places, in Heaven, in Creation and in the Hearts of Men. Find what has long been hidden away by those driven by petty jealousy and lust for power they are not worthy of.

Too long have these things been hidden away. Where has honor and tradition gone, in this day? Where has control of the self, discipline, trust in Heaven? Not gone, but hidden away until the Light shines once more. But the Light cannot shine without the Dark to give it contrast, and I Exalt you, Sapphire Veil, to act as that Dark. Go forth, find the hidden places, and make them your own. Make them you. In My Name.
