[Guess what time it is, Vatheon?]
[INTROSPECTIVE PHILOSOPHY TIME WITH JACOB, OF COURSE. Seriously, what were you thinking it was going to be.]
[Today, Jacob seems to be finishing up the last details of a illustration he's sewing onto a piece of cloth. He looks up from his work, a questioning glance in his eyes.]
What protects you, people of Vatheon?
[He pauses for a second, as if for emphasis.] What I mean is, do you know who guards you from evil and from the things you shouldn't be doing?
For many people, it's a sort of god looking after them. For others, it's a guardian angel. But guardians don't need to be supernatural or powerful beings. They could be your friends, your family, or not even a living thing at all. Like this, for example.
[He holds the illustration up to the screen. It looks something like this:]
This is called an ankh. In a certain civilization back where I come from, this was a symbol that they used to protect themselves from evil of all kinds. It was believed that the ankh symbolized the key of life itself, and bad things could not stand the sight of it.
So, for some, even a symbol can become a source of protection in their lives. But, what about you?
Who or what protects you?
[ooc: Don't forget to fill out Jacob's permission post if you haven't already!]
