Holding Power

"In times long past, they were called the Children of the Heavens. They were the Oracles who held the power of Prophecy." 

Amahle's words struck Ashlynn like a bolt of lightning. She had never heard the term 'Oracle' before, but no one who had been raised within the Church of the Holy Lord of Light was unfamiliar with the term 'Prophecy.' 

"You, you're talking about Berosus, the Great Prophet of the Holy Lord of Light," Ashlynn whispered in a voice that still held a hint of reverence for one of the most holy figures within the Church. "The Great Prophet who foresaw the rise of mankind and, with his disciples, used the stars to chart humanity's path to the Heavenly Shores."
