DELPHI 1950[break]
Isabelle Abbiati, the then head priestess of the Delphi temple and matriarch of her family, gave birth to her eldest daughter, Diana Abbiati. Isabelle was the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter of a seventh daughter; threefold, just as her own children would be - so said the prophecy. She is young, seventeen nearing eighteen when she had her first daughter. [break][break]

There were those who thought it unfit for a maiden to lead, yet through her bold, ambitious movements throughout the intricate clerical hierarchy and manipulation of her people's unyielding faith Isabelle rose above the rest. She was the prophecy. The cult was soon charmed to believe as such, and thus, the Era of Bells begins. As the ancient one manifested to be her familiar, her position was secured; and heeding the wisdom of the herald, she took the family out of Delphi. Far out to the sea, an untouched island of snow and rock. Isle de Arnte it would soon be called, and the temple that was built there would take the same name. Through miracle or magic, Isabelle willed the temple to be come enchanted.

[break][break]

Not all Abbiati left with Isabelle, some stayed in Delphi; such as Jocelyne, one of the daughters that came before the seventh. She joined Hydra's efforts in secret, taking up residence in a bungalow out on the beach with her son, making her an outcast of the family as it was.

ISLE DE ARNTE 1980[break]

The rule of Isabelle was one adorned with the dread and despair - as a pandemic ravaged throughout the island, the Abbiati secluded themselves within their temple of stone. The once idealistic young maiden had hardened her heart, now coarse and rough from the salt and wear of leadership. It is during this time the conservative and traditional laws of yore were reimplemented. During such time, Diana, now a blooming teen, served as handmaiden to her mother as she gave birth to the second daughter, Olivia Abbiati.[break][break]

A gentle birth, now that Isabelle had matured and experience one child before, was a mother through and through. She doted and cooed over the babe, inadvertently causing the young handmaiden Diana to resent her younger sister. As a handmaiden, Diana was treated more of a servant than a daughter to Isabelle. They began to grow distant, despite the constant amount of time they spent with one another - Diana serving her mother and younger sister's every need.[break][break]



ISLE DE ARNTE 1981[break]

All life must return to the sea, to the depths down below in the cold and dark; just as all things must come to an end, so did Isabelle met her own. Diana had grown to resent their mother as they grew up with the strict and abusive system of their faith. A woman grown now at thirty one, she had shown a great liking to her mother in their shared ambitious spirit - to a fault even. Olivia was a sheltered girl amongst the others of their temple by her mother for the first year as it were.[break][break]

It as such, none bore witness to the birth of the last of their sacred sisterhood, Pallas Abbiati. Isabelle, their revered mother, died during this particularly difficult home birth. There were - are - whispers that Diana's absence in assisting the midwives could have prevented a dire mistake. Such rumors and lies of the new high priestess were quickly silenced. In fact, Diana proved more conservative than her mother, tightening the already restrictive lives of the Abbiati. Whilst the infant was taken to the nursery to join Olivia, Diana began to implement her authority. Her coup. It is in that moment Olivia's distaste and distrust for both her sisters, who in her eyes, killed their mother, truly began along with the Era of the Moon.

ISLE DE ARNTE 1996[break]

Olivia was clever, beyond that which her older sister and those of the temple thought. In secret, she studied. Not only the holy text of the sea, but secular text that were kept from the disciples. To keep them ignorant, docile even, to Diana's iron fist. Her knowledge grew alongside her flowering desires of that of a teenager: the mysteries and allure of love called to her. Olivia knew how to keep secret and quiet, invisible to the ever present eye that was Diana of the Moon, the title she bestowed upon herself from ages past. Olivia would sneak out, late in the night, and ride the waves in the moon's light. She would soon earn her own title, from her first love: the Wave Watcher.[break][break]

She who watched tides rise and fall, like the moon's decent and the dawn's break, would soon bear witness to her own tides of fate abruptly change. Olivia was pregnant, before her time due as dictated by the rite of motherhood, or as it was known now, the rite of the full moon. Pleading, begging to Diana to keep this bastard of lust and sin quiet. In her own eyes, the solution was simple; and so, Diana explained simply to rid herself of the child: how or when was up to Olivia, who Diana deemed fit as Olivia had made her bed, she would sleep in it.[break][break]

The youngest, Pallas, was nearly a woman by their standards at fifteen years young; yet, her life of torment and abuse was just beginning. Olivia, shut in and sheltered away from the rest of her kin within the tallest towers of the temple had none but Pallas for company. The poor girl was criticized and neglected by her older sister, who was heavy with child. Despite this apparent hatred, it was all the child had known from her family. So when Olivia's time came, and Diana was no where to be found, Pallas set alarm to the entire temple by flooding the bathroom and tub at Olivia's command - water rushed and the clergy appeared en masse at the mess to witness the river of blood and the cries of a newborn.[break][break]

ISLE DE ARNTE 1997[break]

The bastard was a boy, an omen of misfortune for the new mother Olivia her sister Diana proclaimed. As all men of the Abbiati are, he was sent away; far, far away. The boy's father gladly took the coin provided by the clergy to keep quiet of such a breach in tradition, and keep the child out of the region and away from the sorrowful mother. Olivia grieved, despaired over her stolen son. She knew it wrong to think such, to hurt so much for a bastard of lust... but he was so much more to her. A babe born of love rather than order and duty as was expected.

To prove herself a true Abbiati, Diana decreed Olivia must partake of the rite of the full moon, as all their people had for generations. Reluctant and depressed, a hollowness filled her heart and being, she obeyed - and once more proved a failure in the eyes of Diana and her followers. Shamed, shunned, and broken Olivia was unfit to raise this child and was but a phantom of her the former bright young self as they took her second child away to be raised gods' know where.

Disgraced, Olivia fled the only home she ever knew to the world of academia. There, freed from the shackles of her eldest sister, she thrived.

ISLE DE ARNTE 1998[break]

At long last, Pallas was ready for the rite of the full moon, the rite of motherhood, or as Olivia called it: the trial by blood. To the dismay and disgust by all the pregnancy was difficult, deadly. The child was lost, and with it, Pallas' blind light of unyielding faith and the future of the youngest sister once saw was shattered.

DELPHI 2003[break]

Olivia made strides in anthropology, myths, and legends; none of which she would have been able to do without the cruel childhood she dreaded. After completing her doctorate in anthropology, she returned to the Isle de Arnte temple after nearly a decade away, and she found it near ruin. Diana may have held power whilst Olivia was there for her to compare to, the high priestess of the Abbiati could only watch in horror as their logistics began to crumble. Their temple was ancient, her people falling ill, and funds running low. When Olivia returned with renown, knowledge, and power in hand with a promise to fix the wrongs her sister had wrought; well, what choice was there to be had? Olivia gave Diana until the end of the decade to get things in shape while she completed her research and teachings in Delphi.[break][break]

All the while, Pallas embraced their cult of water far beyond the minor mysteries and arcana of either Diana or Olivia. Unlike her two sisters, or the mother she never knew, Pallas lacked ambition and was solely and purely utterly devout. She was, growing up treated as a curse, humble. Quiet. Out of sight, and out of mind, but always praying to the Dweller of the Depths.[break][break]

ISLE DE ARNTE 2010[break]

True to her word, Olivia returned to the island after teaching at her alma mater. The transition of power was swift and easy; for the black sheep had returned with power and a wealth of knowledge that she could use to modernize and bring their family to greatness once more. Diana remained high priestess, Olivia allowed her to retain that, but she? Well Olivia was coronated, Queen of Salt and Stone; and the Era of the Crown was set into motion.[break][break]

DELPHI 2022[break]

Using the connections she had made with the outside world, and a proper university education, Olivia brought funds and knowledge to her people. They thrived as their pearl sales boomed alongside Olivia's own revenue from books, lectures, and other academic work she had pursed since obtaining her doctorate. Diana remained discontented, plotting for the failure of her younger sister, while Pallas floated through the chilled halls of the temple like a ghost; lost to a world of grief.

An opportunity presented itself, one that would see the Abbiati finally returned to their home of Delphi - Olivia's old position as professor was open once more. Misplacing her trust into Diana to manage the day to day activities of their house, Olivia went to Delphia to claim leadership and a second coronation.[break][break]




i sing of scylla, whose shafts are of aquamarine, who cheers on the charybdis, the pure maiden, watcher of evil, who delights in safeguarding the righteous.[break][break]

over the shadowy trenches and swirling peaks she draws her blue bow, rejoicing in the chase, and sends out grievous shouts.[break][break]

the goddess with a bold heart turns every way bringing death to those who would defile the sea beast.[break][break]

when cetus is satisfied and has cheered her heart, this huntress who delights in hurricanes slackens her supple wings.[break][break]

hail to you, she who goes by many names, sister of the ground-shaker, the virgin who delights in life, child of chaos and silver-gilded moon! [break][break]

of you first i sing and with you i begin; now that i have begun with you, i will end this song.[break][break]

Natives of the island continent, as across the world, began to worship the great and powerful goddess of yore, legendary beast who roamed the ancient lands and through miracles and despair in equal parts. To the tanned silver haired Abbiati, measly fishermen it was the sea and her bounty that took their interest and heart. For it was the sea, and her gifts, that allowed the Abbiati to survive - and then, generations later, they began to befriend and breed ocean creatures. It was this relationship with the sea that proved to be the true awakening of their cult.
