A New Oracle

== A New Oracle ==
Starting in October of 2022, Nat Morrison, child of Hades, grew a fascination with Apollo’s Oracle. The previous oracle, Sarah Loving, had been dead for many years. The oracle simply had not found a new host in that time, so Sarah’s body remained in the attic of the big house dispensing prophecies for quests. 
Apollo met with Nat and discussed the process for becoming an oracle and the risks involved, which Nat agreed to. They met many times over the next three months to get Nat to a place where they were ready to host the Spirit of Delphi. The Battle of the Barrier interrupted the process, however after this Nat went on a long retreat to prepare themself for the process. 
On February 2, 2023 Nat and Apollo met again to finalize the process. They retreated into the oracle’s attic and Nat pledged themself to the Spirit of Delphi. Thankfully the spirit took hold and the process was successful.
"I am Nat August Morrison," their voice took on the snake-like sounds of the oracle's own, raspy and older than Nat could ever fathom.
"I am the child of Graceous Liana Morrison, spirit guider and protector. I am the child of the Lord of the Home of the Passed, Hades, shepherd and keeper of souls. I am the new vessel for the Oracle of Delphi. I am the Oracle! I swear on the River Styx I will grant seekers of truth what they require, bringing together the work of the Fates to forge destiny on. I will fulfill the responsibilities Oracle vessels have since the dawn of prophecy. I was, I am, and I will!"
