Stars align - And we gather, knowing they're finally out of the way

[Already Past]

----

A few more rumors have started to spread about the strange masked Prophet. It's said that nobody showed up, aside a few curious people who hid themselves away within the woods to watch from afar.
---
It's said that despite nobody being there, the Prophet preached to empty pews. Speaking of fantastical things. Staying up until odd hours of the night. Laughing. Responding to himself. And even wailing as if in pain.
---
Nobody that went to spy stayed very long after.

Gemini stands before the empty pews. That strange book of his held firmly within his hands, cracked open to a certain page. Along its pages were spirally sentences. Some reading left to right. Right to left. Up and down. Down and up. Some sentences ending abruptly, only to continue on a completely separate page, in the middle of another sentence.


To most it made no sense.

But to him, it was a wellspring of knowledge.

"Thank you all for attending my gathering." There's nobody there, the pews were empty. And yet he could still feel their presence. Them watching him as he carried on, preaching as if thousands had gathered.

It was amusing to those that watched.

".. People doubted me at first. They saw me as a madman. As a bubbling, drooling idiot who had lost their mind. But they're wrong. I've met them. I have seen them for myself. I have spoken to them directly."

"They've anointed me as their hand upon this world."

"And as their hand? I'll bring them that amusement they seek. For one day I'll join them as one of the many that were left behind."

"I urge you to join me. To live your life to its fullest potential."

"Allow yourself to be free."

"And maybe you too will start to feel their gaze on you."
