Grave Saint Somewhere in the outskirts of Great Forks, lies a small village sitting near it's borders. Although they aren't a stranger to the many faiths in the neighboring city, it seems they have a visiting missionary that recently arrived they've never seen before. "Creation and it's people are suffering for this world is flawed and broken. Wars drown the world in bloodshed, disease such as the Great Contagion that once plagued the world bring illness, the corruption of nations such as the Scarlet Dynasty drag their citizens into foul intrigue, and finally, chaos reigns where even the Blessed Isle is not safe." There is a long haired woman in a black kimono with red spider lily patterns making a speech to the village. Her sermon is bleak for it talks about the strife in Creation.

"But there will be an end to all of this. My god, Sextis Jylis, He-Who-Heralds-The-Final-Harvest promises that will no longer be the case as they want a new age after this time of sorrow. An age of eternal silent peace for all of Creation"

Radiant Heart Princess Radiant Heart has been traveling the past couple days. She had been on a business trip to neighboring city and decided to stay for the night before starting back up for Great Forks in the morning. It had been pretty uneventful but she noticed the crowd that had formed and walked over. She sees the woman preaching. Ah, doomsayers. This one seems pretty charismatic. She stands in the back of the crowd and just listens, humoring her.
Grave Saint "In this new peaceful Creation, you will meet your dead love ones again in this wondrous future if you accept the Final Harvest" Out of nowhere, red spider lily petals appear out of nowhere as they are blown by a wind that came out of nowhere. There were also voices that say "join us in peace" but it seems the voice differs between person to person. "Oh god, I heard mother. She died a year ago" One of the villagers mentioned after hearing the various voices that randomly came with the wind. Flowers grow at near the vicinity of the priestess, as they truly match her aesthetic as a crimson flower blooming in the night. As the speech was finished, the audience was impressed by the "wood aspect's" sermon.
Radiant Heart Princess At first she dismisses it as a trick. That is until she hears "Heaaart Join us in peace" Heart looks around. "F-father? Is that you?" She can't believe it. It *was* her father. But that's impossible, he's been gone for almost a decade at this point. It Had to be him. Now she's staring at the preacher, maybe this is some kind of necromancy, or there is some truth to what she's saying.
Grave Saint Once she is done, Bleeding Higanbana then notices an unfamiliar face besides the villagers. "Ah a bystander. I see you are impressed by my sermon? If you are, I am glad to hear it since I am preaching a day where Creation shall be in an eternity of peace. Where the living can finally meet their loved ones in the other side" She says as the false prince of the earth didn't expect any other watchers besides the villagers.

She then turns to the rest of the village. "I am Bleeding Higanbana, the priestess of Sextis Jylis. If you sought to find out more about my faith, you can visit me near a field of spider lilies just close by where a lone shrine sits alone. My religion is free to all no matter where you are from"

Radiant Heart Princess It seems so real. Could she really be with her father again? Maybe...but these kind of things, even if they are true usually have some kind of catch. Then again she's a Exalted, if anyone can find a trick to get of it it would be her. She'd smile and say "Yes, I'm just passing through and heard your sermon. It seems very interesting."
Grave Saint "I see, are you from Great Forks or somewhere else? I do not mind listeners but sometimes there are those that disagree with my teachings. Thankfully Great Forks is accepting of most faiths, even Immaculate Heresies such as mine. If this was near Lookshy, Immaculate monks and soheis would have me dead" Higanbana laughs as the priestess wonders if she does preach near the vicinity of the Seventh Legion. "I wish I can spread my faith immediately but of course it takes gently and slowly"
Radiant Heart Princess She would shake her head. "I'm originally from the Hundred Kingdoms. I've lived in the area for around a year though. It has been pretty good so far." She said with a smile. "Many cults are in the area. And it is a good thing that Great Forks allows them." She said without mentioning she has her own cult.
Grave Saint "The Hundred Kingdoms huh...the Hundred Kingdoms..." Oddly she pauses as if something happened to her back there. "I've been there lots of times before my second breath and I met the Scarlet Egg Players, famous "dragonblooded" performers from the Realm" She says passive aggresively as if she has some beef against the Scarlet Egg Players but then snaps out of her seething. "Ah yes where was I, oh right about the cults. Thank the ancestors that most people in the city are tolerant so far"
Radiant Heart Princess She would nod. "It's actually kind of wonderful seeing so many faiths in one area. Some places get annoyed when you suggest adding a roadside shrine just outside of their town because it "messes with the ascethics or something else." She then looked curious at Higanbana "I take it you have some...history with the Scarlet Egg Players? You sounded kind of agitated when you spoke of them."
Grave Saint "I once believed they were dragonblooded but do not be fooled whenever they are around. They are simply mortal scammers lead by a patrician who knew the dragonblooded enough they can pose as one. They fool the naive who have not seen or not know well enough about the princes of the earth that their tricks can work" She gives a warning regarding this deceitful group of dragonblooded wannabes somewhere in the East.
Radiant Heart Princess Okay make a note to pose as something else with my charms, she thought to herself. Maybe some kind of exigent. "That's despicable. I'm wondering how they managed to keep up the rouse for so long. You'd think dragonblooded would figure them out and have a "chat" with them. I guess some scammers just get luck that was supposed to go to someone more deserving of it."
Grave Saint "I do hope they will be punished for this insolence especially at that fake Cathak poser Jafar." Whatever this Jafar did to her, it was a very personal matter for her. But then she realizes something. "Oh I realize I have other affairs to attend to and met me at the shrine in the middle of the crimson flower fields if you are interested in learning my faith"
