Joan took center stage and glanced at the sitting throng of people in Josiah’s Hall. Behind her sat the initiates, all wearing their royal blue garments. To her right, the general council of the Children of Kyrios sat dressed in their cerulean-blue regalia with the insignia in the middle.

The leader took one last look at her notes and peeked at the group behind her. Her expression was poignant—happy to see such a significant turnout of initiates, but at the same time, wondering about the future of all hybrids.

She flipped over her notes and cleared her throat. “Good evening, everyone. I came fully prepared with my speech tonight, but I’ve decided to go off script. Before I go any further, I’m proud to say we have initiates from around the world—from Asia, Africa, and South and North America. Can we give them another round of applause?”

The crowded hall resonated with excitement as everyone stood from their seats and applauded enthusiastically.

Joan continued as the cheers settled, “It may come as a surprise to some of you, but there was a time in my younger life when I was ashamed of being a hybrid. More precisely, I considered it a curse, a personal blasphemy. I struggled to accept who I was until I discovered others like me. People who were proud to be who they were guided me to understand that I wasn’t a mistake or some bad omen. I was a person with a purpose.

“Many years later, I’m privileged to have helped and encouraged many on this path and worked with the best people this planet offers, many hybrids like me. Yes, mistakes were made, but I won’t restrain myself from saying how blessed I am to be a hybrid and to have guided others in this journey.”

The leader turned to the initiates and gave them a look of encouragement. “Be bold and strong, and not ashamed of who you are, and use your identity for the good of others. Trust me. The darkness will test you, yet be not afraid, for you are the children of the light. Yes, you are the Children of Kyrios!”

Loud cheers reverberated, and a crescendo of applause echoed through Josiah’s Hall.

Joan turned again to the audience. “These are dark times, I know. Africa continues to suffer many major devastations, Europe is at the precipice of war, and we are hearing stories of how many of our kind, hybrids, are being slaughtered. Nonetheless, I say, the darker the times, the brighter the light. So, I encourage all that have gathered not to be faint of heart but fill your heart with hope, faith but all above love.”

A gentle round of applause resonated through the spacious room.

“We’ve got forty-eight initiates for this evening’s Memento Vivere Commemoration, and while everyone will get a chance to announce their new name, we have selected a few to tell us the story behind their Memento Vivere.” She turned over her notes and called the first name on the list. “The first to speak is Deja Harris.
