"Many outside of the Kingdom's upper echelons do not tend to know this, and even many within do not know this minute detail, but every proper deity underneath the Emperor bears a sign of office given to them by the Emperor as a gift. A symbol of their majesty, so to speak. And many will never see them in their lifetimes."
"I am of course referring to the Aureola of a god. The three Lords above me all have their own Aureoles. Lord Thandir's is a majestic circle of light, wreathed in vicious flames. Lord Akasa bears constellations in patterns upon his back. Nobody has ever seen Lord Sarakha's Aureole. The Emperor himself, he wears the Sun as his own Aureole. I have seen Master Garlo show off his Aureole, and it was by far the least impressive, being no more than whips of fire that extended from his back. Cricket Feet bore extra wings upon revealing his Aureole. No information on what the Aureoles of the twins, Sincere Sasaki and Sincere Satomi, are like."
"...I am fascinated with the Aureola, ever since I learned of them. They are the symbol of a real god. Of course, there are real gods outside of the Trinity, but no orthodox supplicant worth their salt would suggest as much. And I especially would not dare to. It would reflect badly upon their choice to allow me thoughts of my own. No, I am forced to submit to this likelihood that only a real god, one of the Trinity, is allowed to have an Aureole."
"The chances that I... the Central Master, may ever be promoted and given my own, are low."
"But that has not dissuaded me from seeking one. In the Trinity, it is smiled upon when one brings innovation. When one exceeds expectations. And so, in my, perhaps, selfish aim to become <span class="mu-s">her</span>, and master that which truly intrigues me... that which I feel would make me complete at last, I seek an Aureole. It will mark my ascension from a mere Demigod made of parts, to a true deity."
"So, I have begun building the real thing off the work I have already accomplished with the stranger's help. I am building <span class="mu-s">my own Aureole</span>. My own power."</span>
