Death Of A High Pontiff

[Haribo 385]

Lucien II failed. In many aspects, he had tried to revitalize the Church doing a critical period of human history. His moral had failed above all. He became dark and bitter inside, beckoning for sickness to come. He retreated to his chambers, casting away anyone. The guards were ordered to let none in, for he trusted no one. Then on the last day he called for Father Michael to come to him. He looked up and spoke quietly and softly, barely audible at all. 

 

"I have failed. I look down at the Church and see sin and corruption. I sought out to rid the Church of this corruption, of this greed. To create a virtuous foundation to support the humans and guide them on their path. I have been betrayed, yet I have transgressed."

 

Lucien II turns his head just slightly to see Michael's solemn face. He clutches the sweat-soaked blankets. The last feelings he had before he died. Quickly, Father Michael begins to mutter the rite of penitence, the final words His Holiness heard. 

 

"O, Creator the Father of mercies,

has reconciled the world to himself

and shined the Holy Light on us

for the forgiveness of sins;

through the ministry of the Church

may God give you pardon and peace,

and I absolve you from your sins

in the name of the Father,

and of the Holy Light."

 

With those words Lucien II passed away in his bed, wracked with sickness for days. He simply lost the will to fight. He was corrupted in mind-set, and could not stand the stress of the title. He absolutely hated the corrupt clergy that surrounded him. Though on that day, he passed away to the Seven Skies. Where all men stand equal in the eyes of the Creator. All men stand equal under the true light of the Creator. 

[Zhulik 3559]

"Rest in peace, I will never forget the day I met you in the Ramen shop. Creator have mercy on your soul."
Voron motioned his gauntlet across his chest, forming the Kaedrin cross. He whispered a prayer to himself before departing for the Dwarven front.

Brother Rags meets Lucien II at the seven skies and hands him a mug of ale. "Yer late!"

[Archbishop John 85]

Makes the holy double cross as he hears the news, he looks a little pale as he mutters "May your travel safely to the Seven Sky's." 

[VIROS 2915]

Brother Virosi mourns the loss of a fellow man of the cloth.

[Major Dom 1297]

archbishop iosif nods neither showing sadness nor happiness at the news he then wishes the soul of his friend signus well and goes to pray

[Kickstarted and Running 965]

Nero smiles as he sees Lucien step through those pearly gates, he walks with his father, Alexander and his uncle Ezekiel Tarus "Welcome to the Sixth Circle, Comrade!"

He chuckles and hands him a Seven Skies pamphlet and walks him off down a beach "Bow we have some fine real estate along Lucien's Way... Named after you. Or there's an open house on the corner of Daniel blvd. and Siegmund's Avenue"

Konrad weeps as he hears, taking an entire day to mourn the only decent, nay, great Pontiff we ever had

Altar Boy Kenneth is happy, as he no longer has to be touched by the perverted High Pontiff

[Sky 0]

"Redhead" raises an eyebrow at the news, and rubs his forehead in thought.

 

"I truly hope the good humans of Oren can pull through this"

 

He thinks to himself, as a look of worry comes across his face.

Edward cries

[Castus 71]

A messenger boy arrives at Castus's residence amidst the ominously harsh weather, calling the synod to deliberate upon the selection of the next Pontiff. Castus' face is cast in stone as he hears of the grave news. He makes the sign of the lorraine cross over his chest, mounts atop his mule, and makes quick travel to meet with his fellow clergymen.

The function of the Church must not suffer at the hands of death. The Creator willed the High Pontiff's passing, and the Creator shall imbue his successor with the constitution to manage the Faith.

[Calihan 14]

stanislav nods and cries a little, just before heading off to decapitate a midget and sell his meat to the malinor butcher

[Jahrmann 37]

News reaches Francesco's ears about the passing of the High Pontiff. Tears in eyes, he remembers the brief conversations he had with the pious man. He died too soon, and for that Francesco spends a week in fasting, realizing the mortality of all men.

 

Thank You,
