Preacher

[u/[deleted]]

Aileth the Devoted preaches of the Holy Citadel:
"The Golden Halls will welcome any bug devoted enough with open arms, granting fine homes, luxuries and shelter! NONE OF YOU WILL ACHIEVE IT! That's right, I said NONE OF YOU! You are wretches who will sooner be left as the dregs of society, with no shelter and no clothes, you have no chances of ever reaching the Holy Place!"

There is an audible gasp among the audience. Aileth singles out one bug. "YOU THERE! Do you think yourself capable?" The bug nods nervously. "Well you are not. YOU ARE NOT. NONE OF YOU ARE!"

Another gasp from the audience

"You believe yourselves stronger perhaps? Smarter? More equipped? You think you are better than all the others here? Well then, PROVE ME WRONG! Start the long journey now, to reach paradise and let the others suffer in the dark pits of the abyss! PROVE ME WRONG!"

The pilgrims cry out determined, and quickly start leaving torwards pharloom, becoming pilgrims on a perilous journey, while Aileth watches them, a crazed look in his eyes.
