There was few other professions in the floatation as well and being monk was one of them. Just like other professions monks were monks by born and they were tought to be nothing else but monk. Mordern people would their monks weird as well because they had no gods and no religions still they prayed. It was like their monks were trained to pray for the wellbeing of their land but there was no god or no idea of god to whom they were praying.
Different monks used to pray in different ways. But they were tought how to pray and that teaching was done by anyone and everyone who was willing to teach.
So usually most of the monks in the floatation was unique and different from each other. Usually the telepathic connection, intuition and predictions of the monks were close to the oracles.
Then again there was monks who were diffrent, unique as all other monks and actually weird. No one could explain clearly how the monks in the floatation was because no one could understand them.
Long before alian beasts started roaming arround our planet earth in one weird night due to some weird clouds people were seing many moons in the sky from only one specific part of the floatation. Its was like how you see your reflection in a barbour's shop. Maybe only part of two clouds became like mirrors so people saw many moons only from a specific part of the floatation. And in that specific part a baby was born arround 9pm. As he wasnt born arround 9am it wasnt a oracle but it was a monk. One much more unique than all other. Not just in the floatation but in all the planet.
Rumors were something that never happens in the foatation as people are usually honest here. But some said they saw the baby changing skin color, some said it was just eye color, some said the baby blinked in same possition disappearing and reappearing in the same spot, some said the baby changed its size and some said the baby tried to send them telepathy. But one thing was common everyone watching the baby had a weird experience. But this happened only for the first time one comes closer to the baby within first few days only.
In the floatation island every adult was considered as parents of every kid and mother was seperated from the baby as soon as the baby was born and they was always kept with the other babies together. Mothers were responsible for feeding one random baby everyday that would be changed every other day. It was the reason why the babies never knew about their orginal parents.
