Inktober - 22 - Lonely
Added 2017-10-21 19:24:45 +0000 UTCThe Lonely One, the youngest of the three Celestial Siblings,
Our Creator, our Father, our Brother,
Our Enemy, our Corruption, our Fall,
Banished from the land he made,
Hated by his children,
Praised for his gentleness and innocence,
Do not mock his name, for his wrath is pure,
And his cries pervade the hour of Chaos...
At the top of Mount Eda, on the upper back of Iznugia, there is a lonely statue, sitting at its frozen peak. It is the last remaining statue of the Lonely One present on Iznugia; all of the other ones were destroyed over the ages, by Dragons and Purificators. The Ikrouks of Iznugia are the only people remaining on Etaliari who still pray to his name - and that comes with its fair share of criticism from the other Elders across the world - and it is custom for young Ikres to bring an offering to this lonely statue when they reach the age of a thousand years old, as a mark of passage into adulthood. Some say that this headless statue gives off a feeling of sadness, and many archeologists have tried searching for its missing parts; but alas, such a find has yet to come up...
