Atticus watched Whisker vanish in front of him silently.
They had both just spoken about an unusual topic that made him feel weird and awkward.
Creating a cult, Whisker had called it. The man hadn't even tried to mince his words. He had been completely blunt.
And when Whisker explained the process of gathering a following, he too was forced to admit it, it was a cult.
A doctrine. That was what they had spoken about extensively before he left.
To gather a following, people had to join Atticus' Will Path. This meant he had to share the core components of his will.
Whisker had assured him that it came with no ill consequences. A true Will Path could only ever belong to one person.
Even with all the information, the best anyone else could do was mimic his will, which would eventually end up funneling power back to him.
The questions Whisker asked had been straightforward and pointed.
What birthed his will? What pivotal experience, emotion, or revelation ignited his concept?
