Meliora

Meliora Means Better Right?

What started out as just a simple vision, a drunken dream if you will. Slowly turned into a growing empire. The story begins with our beloved Papa Emeritus the First, he was laid out underneath the stars as a  vision came to him. A new calling, he could see himself slowly establishing a new way of life, a way to usher in the dark lord as he toppled churches and overthrew the government. In his vision he seen a huge monastery with a beautiful chapel. A place the misfits could call home and when the time came this new church would take over and bring forth the apocalypse. He knew he alone wouldn't usher in the new world but he would play a major part in it. Years later Papa Emeritus the First's vision was slowly on the rise. So far there had been three Papa's and the improvement of the monastery. It grew in great size and was breath taking. How did the unholy church collect the money for such a project? It was very simple, music of course. Each Papa would take over as the lead singer and go out on tour. The fans really seemed to eat up the whole Satanic theme, as popularity grew that gave Papa Emeritus the Second the idea of how exactly to recruit followers, or well followers of the female kind. Much like a Catholic church has nuns Papa the Second wanted something similar except for he went on to call them Sisters Of Sin. They would have women fill out forms with their pictures and age and Papa as well as the rest of the congregation would hand pick the women to hand out communion wine during the show, then after Sister Imperator takes the group of women back stage and talks to them. Offering them a whole new life, living in a beautiful monastery and a life of happiness. A new life under the love of their Papa Emeritus the Third, all they had to do is give themselves to the congregation. Of course this scares many of them off, before they can run off Brother Alpha and Brother Omega being the bigger built of the Ghouls would capture the women and wipe their memory clean the very moment Sister Imperator would call for a lock down of the backstage area.

*Trigger Warning* Alright the next couple of sentences will mention the following: Sexual Assault, Depression, Anxiety Attacks, so you have been warned.

Which leads me to my story. My name is Ravette Matthews, I'm new but quickly catching on to what Papa Emeritus the Third expects out of us. Before all of us I guess I could say I had a pretty okay life. I mean it was the typical mix of good and bad. One turn of events however changed me, it could be a change for the worst. Perhaps maybe the better? After being sexually assaulted by someone I trusted and looked on as family member it threw me into a downward spiral of uncertainty. I dealt with the daily depression and mixed emotions of guilt and embarrassment and as night fell an occasional anxiety attack would kick in. I felt almost stuck, now matter which way I would turn I felt a strong current pulling me into the deep hopeless damnation which I had created in my mind. When Sister Imperator made the offer I couldn't refuse it, here  I was looking for an escape and she had the solution that I had been looking for all along. Here I can say things are pretty easy. As a sister it is part of my responsibility to report to the Chapel for the daily ritual in the early mornings of the hours. Followed by hours of lecturing from Sister Imperator we also give testimony to the younger recruits on how the church has made a difference in our lives. We switch off when it comes to cooking and house keeping duty with the Ghouls or brothers as we call them. Then once a week Mass is held in the early morning, then confessions are held later in the day.  The rules here are pretty straight forward especially when it comes to approaching Papa, speak when spoken to however if you feel the need to address him keep it short.
