A Call For Law.

His face bruised, and battered Colin sits at his desk and begins to write a letter to the marshals of the land, as well as one to the High Pontiff Sixtus The III.

"Dear men of the Realm.

Today, as I was taking my morning prayer walk, I came upon several men holding men of the guard to the sword. Knowing one of the men who was on the offending side, that being the once devout member of the church Constantine, I assumed it was a misunderstanding.

 

As I approached, I asked them to stop what they were doing, as I was hoping for an explanation. Instead I was told to walk off, as it was none of my business. I told them once more to stop what they were doing, this time I said in the name of the church. They refused to stop. Then one man, who the others called 'Rodney' Lifted a warhammer to strike my friend Yenu. I stepped between before he could strike. The Rodney man, with his hammer still in the air, told me to step away or I would be hit. I told him once more to stop in the name of the church. He did not stop, and hit me with the pommel of his hammer, quite hard.

 

I reeled back in pain, and was taken a back for a moment, as I had not been in a true fight since joining the church years ago. I once more stepped between the men, never drawing a weapon, and wearing nothing but my priestly garb. The man once more forcefully told me to move, but I could not do so when that meant the injury of my friend. So once more he hit me, this time with his fist. I stepped back to see that my friend Charles was being beaten near death with a sword, that my friend Iren had been choked unconscious, and that Constantine and Rodney were moving on my friend Yenu. 

 

After they had detained the men Constantine insulted me, and they left. I being in the moment rashly said the church will bring swift punishment to them for their actions. So as to not make me a liar I request that the one called Rodney be charged with First degree assault, for willingly and knowingly bringing harm to a man of the faith, with no remorse. I also call for the charge of third degree assault to Constantine and his fellow attackers, for watching without stopping the man.

 

My final request to put this whole bloody mess behind us is specifically to the high pontiff. Excommunicate this Rodney fellow. He has sinned against the church. I hold no grudge against the man, and have forgave him with my heart, but if he is to strike one priest down, whats to say he will not do it again. Remove this man from the church, and et him not bring harm to God's shepherds again.

 

In all this I ask that you do so with God's will.

Walk with God men of the realm

Colin, Priest of Brelus."

Reads the letter and the charges, thinking back on the incident.

 

"There was four... one was a Vladov..."

 

He then turns to go punch Constantine in the balls.

Colin takes a walk to the newly built barracks, looking for his friend Charles. He unfortunately finds him. The once Commander of The Guard is now riddled with stab wounds, and is laying in a pool of his own blood. His body is rigid and freezing. His once pink skin is now as white as parchment. With tears Colin lifts the body, and cradles it like a child. He carries it to the church and lays it across the altar. Colin begins to make the arrangements for his friends funeral.
