A large gathering of men across Westeros has formed, answering the call of Septon Tomas Benedict of the Starry Sept, to restore the Faith's prominence in the land. The army marches North from Oldtown along the Rose Road towards Horn Hill and onwards. The procession is led by Septons carrying large Seven pointed stars from which prisims have been attached spreading rainbow colored lights across the groud of the faithful.

Tomas walks with the other Septons near the middle of the formation. He stops to bless those small folk that come across their path as they travel.

A young boy, perhaps twelve, is walking with a short staff. A crudely painted seven pointed star is on his undyed tunic.
"Septon Benedict? What will we do when we get there?"

The Septon turned and smiled, it was a good question, "we raise the concern of the Faith about the direction of our kingdom, my son. The Faith has been ignored for too long."

"My mom said that I should go with you because we are going to spread the good word of the Seven through the land."
That wasn't true, his mother sent him away because she couldn't afford to feed him, but why hurt the child's feelings.

"We will son, we will to all who will listen," in the distance a group had started with a verse of Oh Blessed Mother of Mercy, "and maybe to some who won't."

"I pray every day to the Seven that they'll protect my brother. He's fighting with the army." The boy said softly.

"Never fear, the Warrior always fights on the side of the just. . . I am sure he will look over your brother and all the other men who serve with him."

"Do you think that King Rodrick will hurt us?" The boy queried with the insatiable questions of youth.

"He would if he could," said Ryam Flowers who had taken up the Septon's Call to join the Seven's Army. "But he's many miles from here yet, and while he is a fearsome fighter, the Warrior will guide us to victory over him," he added fervently.

"Amen brother" an older man clapped Ryam Flowers on the shoulder. He was not a day under fifty but still carried himself with the stiff grace of a warrior and the young boy could see the glint of mail under his robes "It's time to bring the word of the Seven to the godless & adulterous king and his band of ruffians. And drive out the unholy followers of the fire god from our shores once and for all!" his voice took on an angry tone and his eyes flashed at the thought of such heretics defiling the lands of Westeros

They boy gulped visibly.
"Septon Tukar says that King Rodrick has orgeries, and worships demons."

"All the more reason to remove the godless and return the land to the grace of the Seven then, lad. I'm sure you'll see us witness a grand victory. With the Seven by our side, what foe can stand against us?"

"I would not be surprised, but if so we shall send him to the Seven Hells so he can meet his demons firsthand."

The old man grinned. "That's the spirit lad! Say, have you seen Lucas Harlaw? I thought for sure he'd come to this summoning. I haven't seen him in years..." he said wistfully

Hope you all are well and happy.
