When Kyia grew tired of all the killing and violence, she turned to meditation to search for answers.  Within the quiet reflection of her inner self she grew to understand that the path of peace is never covered in blood.   She had always followed the teachings of Gaeya (or in other worlds, Gaea or Gaia)  but it was the words of the Goddess Luumpho that came to her in the quiet of her soul.  She sought out a High Priestess of the Temple to witness her vow given at the rising of the sun.   It freed her of a great burden and the Light that she shares with all has only grown brighter.
 

"All Life is sacred. All creatures have a right to live. Life should never be taken except to defend another life and only if there are no other choices. Pain is a signal of loss of the Life Force and should be attended to and relieved. Causing pain or loss of life in any creature is an aberration to Luumpho. I accept all these truths. Accepting Luumpho’s guidance, I vow that from this day forward I will not cause, nor allows others to cause, harm to any creature. I will raise my arm only to protect myself or others. I will tend pain and suffering when I know of it. I will do all in my power to protect life in all creatures at all times. The Light of Luumpho, that feeds all Life, will shine through me. This I swear with every action I take from this day forward."
