The centerpiece of this ceremony was the statue. Not Ves. Though his role was essential in shaping the opinions of his audience, he was not of the star of the show today.
In order to achieve his desired results, Ves needed to get everyone to worship the statue of the Superior Mother.
In order to do that, Ves took a page from the likes of Prophet Ylvaine and other successful charlatans. He had already constructed a spiritual image of himself as a fanatical proselytizer!
Once he donned this mask, he gained an intensity in his mind that suddenly made him very eager to spread the gospel of motherhood!
"Mothers." Ves began. "Are the most honored people in existence. They are the carriers of life. Each of us emerged from their wombs. Each of us owe our lives from the sacrifices they make."
The statue began to sparkle under the light. That was mostly due to the special formula that Ves applied to its surface layer.
