"...you remind me of myself, you know. I feared the meaning of my discoveries as well. I feared that I was either wrong, and a heretic, or right, and had dishonoured the gods my entire life. But lo, I have been set straight. The gods accept our ignorance, for we are but pitiful fools, no more to blame for our failures than children. This is why they have sent me, to educate the people, as that we may rise from our ignorance- mature, as it were, and return to the golden days of yore."
Jitpau stares off into the sky for a few moments, convening with the gods.
"Very well. I will stay in Stormstead- of my own volition- and check my facts one last time. On the condition that once I have proven them to you, you will acknowledge my truth, and stand not one moment longer between me and my righteous destiny."
He turns to the king.
"I will take quarters in your palace, Albert.", he says, matter-of-factly. "And I would be grateful if you would send any wayward scholars or travellers my way. I know from experience that all manner of... exotic types come to your court in search of adventure. Serving a prophet would be as great an honour to them as serving a king."
((On the general assumption that the king is still too speechless to do anything but stand there staring,))
Jitpau returns his books to his robes, nods to all present, and descends back into the crowd, answering the questions of the curious, soothing the minds of the faithful, and soon enough preaching loudly, as he leads the masses away from the palace.
He mentions his need for assistants as he goes, as that the message might spread throughout the city, and makes his home a smaller square near the temple district, where he sits in the sun and preaches salvation.
