Banished Cultist

  • He is connection.
  • He is the blessed unity.
  • He is the cure.
  • I am finally part of a greater whole.
  • I was once like you, too.
  • If you’re here, it is because you feel it, too.
  • Now I am never empty, never wanting.
  • The emptiness left by our so-called Mether.
  • Until I let the Sacred Passenger inside.
  • All you know is violence.
  • Are you sure?
  • But the Passenger is life.
  • But there is another way.
  • Come, Harbinger.
  • Did she send you to strike me down?
  • Doubt perhaps?
  • Everlasting. Endless.
  • Go ahead.
  • It’s you… the so-called “Harbinger”.
  • No
  • That’s it?
  • Well, please, join the congregation.
  • What is it that you herald?
  • What stays your hand?
  • Why do you deny him?
  • Yes
  • You might learn something.
  • You see…
  • Your Mether promises death.
  • But for what purpose?
  • Do not be fooled by the flesh.
  • Look.
  • She has sent her only begotten son.
  • Knowledge.
  • She is no god.
  • We know what the Undermether is
  • What is our sin?
  • You may wonder then—why must we hide?

  • Enjoy the Passenger’s gift, Harbinger.
  • Feel its warmth.
  • It is a gift from the Sacred Passenger.
  • That is the warmth of love, my friend.
  • The seed he plants in all our hearts.
  • Yes… hold it close.
  • Have you reconsidered?
  • Will you accept the Passenger’s gift?
  • I have a gift for you.
  • Oh, yes… it is you.
  • Will you slay me once again?
  • Are you flesh? Or dream?
  • Come closer.
  • Deep inside of me.
  • Do you ever wonder what you are?
  • I am not afeared.
  • In fact… what you seek is in my heart.
  • It’s yearning for your touch.
  • No
  • No leaving this place.
  • Now this warning is not my gift.
  • She will use you and she will discard you.
  • Tell me.
  • Then what… are you here for my head?
  • There will be no… ascension.
  • There’s something else.
  • Will you not reach into my flesh… and take it?
  • Will you not reach out and take it?
  • Yes
  • You understand?
  • You will be forgotten… like the Foundling.
  • You’re no more than an instrument.
  • For I am not another empty mortal.
  • Full of love.
  • I am full of endless, teeming life.
  • That will never work.
  • Will you not reach into my heart… and feel it for yourself?

03 (13)

  • But you have not… embraced it.
  • Not fully.
  • You bear the Passenger’s gift.
  • And I sense you’ve… embraced it.
  • Please, join our circle.
  • We will help his seed take root.
  • And all are welcome.
  • Forget your kin.
  • Sources of strife.
  • There is but one perfect union.
  • These are all illusions.
  • Your name.
  • Your purpose.
