In a world with so much death, sadness, suffering, and misery, what can you accept to reach happiness? This book follows Teles, the eldest apostle of the Great Connection. Some would call the followers of this movement misguided people that were fooled, others may claim that they're plague worshipping heretic cultists that deserve extermination. Perhaps either description is equally applicable. But, is such a lifestyle wrong just because you've been told so? Would standing against such people bring you happiness? Possibly. Who could say? Your choices are your own. Now, the general tone of this story is light, with moments and allusions to heavier themes. The main character is, as I said above, Teles, the eldest apostle of what I will describe as a cult. She acts as a high priestess of sorts, with the other apostles looking up to her, figuratively and literally, as she's quite tall. I do aim to keep it as a happy story with an emphasis on lore and world building. A culty, slice of life story that takes place in a world of magic, is how I feel best describes it. Now, there is sexual content to be found within. I will label such chapters accordingly, and ensure that for the most part, you won't need to read them to fully understand the plot or referenced material, unless said referenced material pertains to one of these scenes. Quite gray as far as morality goes, and you're absolutely free to make your own judgements on the characters. Feedback is greatly appreciated, and I hope you enjoy.
