One Follower At a Time, Part I

When Pelchag first head of the new prophet he didn’t give it all that much real thought, some merchant claimed that on a cliff-top by a trio of angels he’d been taught what God desired of his mortal children, what sinful ways of mankind must now end, but this prophet was a magnetic man and soon the kings of this cold world did bend. To satiate his growing followers, they all proclaimed his teachings the True Faith, Pelchag still didn’t give the strict rules much thought, until the prophet came to his town one day. The man spoke with a joy that belied his rules, soon young Pelchag found himself enrapt, later he asked the prophet,”What must I do if I am to become a part of that?” The prophet just smiled, touched Pelchag’s head, said,”Look here, at a man’s faith, euphoric!

Until one night a local youth got drunk and forced himself upon a local girl, they strung both up and Pelchag decided that new strictures would have to be unfurled. He said,”The prophet knows God hates spirits, they work the devil’s will upon you mind, by banning them we are serving the prophet, one follower at a time.” Now this sent more than a few grumbles out, but many replied it was for a good cause, the new faith meant a better tomorrow, so it would have to change a few ‘old’ laws...
