1 Prologue: Elysia

The bells were ringing, all across every province and every city, the bells were ringing, loudly. It was the first and last day of the week, sunday, the day to worship Her name up above.

MONA.

Worship services throughout the entire country all started at the exact same time—when the sun had already set, and when the Moon came around. MONA was the Moon, and the Moon was MONA. The people of Elysia worshipped MONA, because the Moon was their goddess and their savior. Being a part of the country that was Elysia meant being a part of the Menisism religion. The Menesis believed that the power MONA used was to guide their wills back on earth. Without it, hope would be nonexistent. The flourishing of Elysia entirely depended on the faith the Menesis had in MONA.

The year at this time was 2060, where the Menesism religion had already been around for centuries. MONA's worship was divided up into seven separate provinces that made up Elysia, with each province being led by a High Priest of the Menesis. But soon to be was the upcoming annual celebration of the Menesis religion, where all the country's followers would gather together in one province to worship MONA all together. The event was known as the Reverence, which took place every year in the mild winters of February. This year, the Reverence was going to be taking place in the province of Santorium.
