Ecclesiastes 7:1

The pups were gathered and Toxicity only waited till the last of her family showed up- Hela and Hattori were of no consideration for her and held no sway in her mind nor heart. As Venom came towards her, Obi and Tox offered their steep bows, "Hail Empress Venom." After they rose, Toxicity looked out to her siblings and the two others that gathered, "Today you will bear witness to my children as they are anointed and accepted by Abraxas, earning their names both surname as one of Abraxas' own and their given name which will signify who they are and what they will become in the eyes of The Fallen God. Obi lit the incense and waved it over the pups as Toxicity prayed in the language of the gods out loud. Next came the holy water, sprinkled lightly over the furs before Obi came to stand behind the first pup. Toxicity hummed and closed her eyes, letting a feeling of holiness enter her body, her mind searching for the names for each pup. Obi's hand brushed over the fur and Toxicity spoke as he uncovered the first pup, "Abraxas gives his name and power to... Patience. Patience Abraxas!" The pup was sprinkled with holy water from the shrine and then Obi moved on to the next pup, "Abraxas gives his name and power to... Pontifex. Pontifex Abraxas!" Then the third pup was uncovered and sprinkled, "Abraxas gives his name and power to... Faith. Faith Abraxas!" And Obi followed suit with the last pup as Tox spoke, "Abraxas gives his name and power to... Modesty. Modesty Abraxas!" As the last pup was uncovered, Toxicity opened her eyes, "Now, together we will pray- the pups' first prayer out loud as they repeat after me. My family is urged to join- if they remember the prayer our father taught us so long ago." She led the prayer, giving pause every few words for her children to repeat after her, listening carefully for each and every one. "Now, from the other Abraxas, you may each make a statement to the pups, then they will be anointed and you will be allowed to meet them." ""

OOC: Posts due the 21! Attendees need not to post- only if you wish to offer sentiments to the pups (Abraxas only). Next post will anoint them and the ceremony will more or less conclude with a meet and greet.
