Psalm 145

This text is a loose translation of a line from Psalm 145, a prayer that I understand the Jews use in their morning prayers.

This seems like a good time to talk just a bit about the background of this story. That is, the background of its events and characters. I'm hesitant to detail too much, but suffice it to say that the story takes place in a world similar to our own. While a historian would be appalled by the liberties I take, the year compares roughly to our 1200 B.C. What's unique about the story is of course the gift, the remarkable empathy with which some are born. Most of those with the gift are discovered, like Rian, and educated and later ordained priests. What I find interesting in the story is that Christ has not yet been incarnated, though, as the Jewish people believe, the people understand He will come to them one day and be their savior.
