Chapter One: Oblate
They elevated him to the priesthood.
It was unprecedented, to rise from the status of a rebel and an
outcast, to the most exalted class of being, and once again, he started on
the lowest rung.
He was an oblate.
He was given the mark of humility.
He was tonsured, as any beginner would be.

Chapter Two: Novice
It was required that he take vows; vows of poverty, chastity,
and obedience. This was required of every novice, but they were not
necessarily for life.
He entered the sacred order, and was initiated into the
mysteries.
He became, once again, a servant.
He was the oldest novice ever.
He was wise.
He was quiescent.

Chapter
Three: Brother
The priestly class was divided into two groups.
There was the priesthood, and then there were the holy orders.
He always went deep.
He followed the contemplative sects into the paths of mystery,
austerity, and aesthetics.
He wanted to do more than officiating rites, managing a temple, he
wanted to discover the meaning of existence.

people, but to the multitudes.
He had been the unparalleled leader.
He was a follower of ideals. In relation to his principles, he was unquestioning.
Then he met a woman, and he fell in love.
