THE SACRED CODEX OF OBLATION: CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER 2

¹And the Lord beheld His people as they worked and walked and raised their children, and He was greatly pleased.
²For they had taken His gifts and multiplied them; they had built homes of wood and stone, drawn water from the deep places of Ivalice, and clothed themselves in the work of their own hands.
³The Lord watched as neighbors shared their food in seasons of plenty, and in seasons of want, they bore one another’s burdens. He saw them labor in the field and laugh around the fire, and He smiled upon them.
⁴For though they were yet young in the knowledge of the world, and their ways were simple, their hearts were open, and their hands were willing.
⁵And He said, “Behold, My children: how they have grown. The light of learning is in their eyes. They hunger for truth, but not yet for dominion; they desire to build, not to boast. In their simplicity, there is great beauty.”
⁶The Lord walked among them in the morning and the evening. He sat among the elders and the mothers, among the hunters and the children, and His presence was as the shade of a great tree in summer, or the warmth of fire in winter.
⁷He listened to their songs and the tales they told around the fire, and He saw that they had begun to speak of the stars as messengers, of the river as a sister, of the mountain as a father.
⁸And He rejoiced, for though they did not yet see the fullness of His ways, they saw His glory reflected in the world He had made, and they honored it.
⁹They carved not idols but remembered His words. They built not towers but shared wisdom from mouth to ear, father to child, elder to youth.
¹⁰The Lord said, “Their minds awaken gently. They are as trees in early spring, buds not yet flowered, yet full of promise.”
¹¹And so the Lord continued to dwell among them, content in the work of His hands, and Ivalice in those days was as a garden where peace and praise grew side by side.
