For an entire week, Lucien did little else but baptize people.
It had begun, unsurprisingly, with Clara.
"My Lord," she had said, "many wish to be baptized."
Lucien had already expected it.
At first, the request came mostly from those aligned with light and healing. Divine energy worked too well with those paths to be ignored. Light magic under divine energy became cleaner, denser, and more punishing to corruption. Healers found their restoration more stable. Purifiers found their methods vastly more effective.
Then the second wave came.
People simply wanted to be closer to what their lord used.
Lucien understood that too.
So he agreed.
Vivian organized everything before the process could collapse into chaos. Lists were made. Schedules formed.
