Priestess of Aquilonia

By the light of Apollo’s sacred flame, I stand before the people of Aquilonia, my hands weaving divine sigils in the air. They see only their devoted priestess, a vessel of prophecy and wisdom, draped in red and gold, my lips speaking the will of the Sun God. They kneel, seeking blessings, believing in the purity of my service.

 

Yet when the crimson dusk falls, and the wine flows freely, I whisper my true prayers to Bacchus, the wild and unchained. It is for him that I dance beneath the moon, my feet tracing secret rites upon the marble floors of the hidden sanctum. The empire’s laws and rigid order crumble beneath the weight of revelry, and I am the unseen hand tipping the scales. The people worship the sun, but in shadow, they thirst for the madness of the vine. And I will be the one to deliver it to them.

 

Let the senators speak of virtue; let the patricians cling to their masks of piety. They know nothing of the hunger that stirs in the souls of Aquilonia’s children. I shall be their guide. By Apollo’s light, I lead. By Bacchus’ will, I rule.
