Everard had finished his morning prayers, said grace for his servants before they all ate breakfast, then went outside to water the flowers in his garden. He was born in Haense and had grown up seeing the beautiful gardens owned by the royals when Josef was King. Over the years, he had picked up gardening as a hobby, not only to remind him of his childhood, but also as a way to distract him from the ongoings of the outside world. So much plagued his mind, but he wished to have a moment of peace. The gardening wasn’t enough to clear his mind today; a walk was what he needed. He said his farewells to his staff, and stepped out the door into the bright, sunny day. Normally when he went on a walk, he would walk only through his private gardens in Karosgrad on the advice of the Apostolic General, for security purposes. But today was too good of a day to forgo a walk through the city and royal gardens. It was decided, a quick walk before he began the business of the day. He took his time with this talk, stopping by every unique feature he could find, anything to prolong this moment of peace before he returned to work. It was then that he first felt it - a small but sharp pain in his chest. Remnants of breakfast, he assured himself as he continued with his walk, but the pain hadn’t dissipated. As he walked, he’d offer a smile - forced though it may be - to the citizens of Karosgrad he walked past. A woman approached him then, son in tow, begging him to pray for her child’s well-being. As he placed his hand on the boy’s head and closed his eyes to pray, it returned - that same pain from earlier. But now, it had multiplied in strength, and caused the elderly Pontiff to collapse to the ground. Screams for help echoed through the garden as the mother beckoned passersby to assist. Everard’s attention in these last moments were on the young child who witnessed it all, offering only a slight smile in an attempt to reassure the child. Then, his eyes closed for a final time, and he lay dead. REQUIESCAT IN PACE Sanctitas, Pontifex Maximus Everardus Sextus MDCCCXXXV - MDCCCLVI Yaromir Nikuldov 1785 - 1856 High Pontiff Everard the Sixth 1835 - 1856 Spoiler I made this character almost 10 months ago with the intention of doing weddings for my friends when no other priests were around. I never would've imagined that I would end up as Pontiff, or that I would be Pontiff during one of the most interesting and chaotic periods on lotc that I've ever experienced. I've had this post ready since December, but I figured I would see how much longer I could go before calling it quits. This post also marks my own departure from LoTC, and I hope never to come back. I'll still be around on discord if anyone wants to chat about non-lotc things. A big shout out goes to my brother @Piov, without whom I never would've gotten into church roleplay. Be kind to each other. See y'all around. Edited January 23, 2022 by Pureimp10 81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axelu 3691 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Queen Johanna I of Sutica rejoices in the company of the High Vicar, once Cardinal, that had crowned her, her husband, and her daughter’s husband years ago. To this late monarch, Everard - or Yaromir as she knew him - was more than a figure of controversy and fortunately had passed before he was shrouded by it; he was a friend and guide. In modest remembrance of he and of her brother, the Saint-Prince Ottomar, Lina Johanna bowed her head with respect to the late Pontiff as he triumphantly entered the Seven Skies. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
