Stave I : The Book
The sun shines proudly among the small fishing commune I call home with their everlasting light. I wake up hungry as always and gaze upon the enchanted unforgiving sea. I watch the waves crash into each other with a fiery rage.

I take it upon myself to leave my hut and venture out closer to the sea on the rocky beaches of Vythia, taking my leather coat with me. How can something so beautiful cause so much pain to me as I look at the snowflakes of light bouncing off the sea.. I think to myself reminiscing of that fatal night. The night my family was taken away from me. how could Lavvy let this happen to me… But in the middle of my useless stupid train of thought I see a brown book washed up on the shore it’s still salvageable I thought and carefully wrapped the damp book in my leather coat.

I take it home to my empty hut and attempt to dry to book. I attempt to read the cover of it and read the words out loud..

The Ballad Of Bon Bon

the book will be dry by tomorrow I thought to myself...

Stave II : The Recipe
I read through the book as soon as the morrow had risen. The same suffocating sun made the crumpled paper yellow with an enchanting glow. I flicked through the pages as I discovered this Prophets story. His name was Prophet B0njomin and was the first follower of Bon Bon. Among the pages was a recipe. A recipe that would call forth Bon Bon himself in a time of need. A prayer that could summon him.
