The Empty Chair of Saint Daniel

As the soul of the Vicar lay within the winds that blew over the Holy Court of Balian, the Auditor shook his head - sombre, for once, eyes that seemed dead and lacking in their typical intrepid frenzy stared unto a future without the High Pontiff - His Holiness, Pontian IV. Or, as he had more familiarly known him by, Adrian.

 

"You were the strongest in your fervour against our enemies. We will always act in alignment with your will, Your Holiness, now and forever."

A head full of grey laid itself in waiting; now, in the time of mourning, so too did the Auditor rest, for once.

It's been a good run Balthy, I've been glad to be a part of the Curia alongside you.

In the honor of His Holiness' passing, a rare honor was extended unto him from the pristine white walls of Caras Anor...

 

The Keeper Alatariel lit a candle in his honor, to burn for a week in silent vigil. He would be remembered, both in deeds, and in veneration.

o7 Balthy, you were a damn decent Pontiff. Thanks for rolling with us and having a fun time.

From the moment of His Holiness’ passing, Jan Ivanovich remained by his side, uttering not a word or sound. He sent word for his bannermen to accompany him and the Pontifical attendees to the Holy See.

 

Along the ride to the Holy See, Jan’s mind was wrought with sorrow and misery. Pontian was a mentor and much more of a father to Jan since the death of his real father. The Holy Father taught Jan the scrolls, patience, piety, and many more skills he uses to this day in life. Now he was gone, the Count of Vaška went to say his final farewells to Pontian before he was laid to rest.
 

After the goodbyes were said where he and his Bannermen stood watch one last time through the night. Through the night, the Count’s mind was plagued with grief and confusion but he bore no visible emotion to keep the morale of his men high, despite such a loss.

"Though y have niet met w father, y know him to have held a gentle soul. Jest unfortunate that he could niet see w truth before his passing - Adria was of such welcome to him in w earlier years." Suzana noted to her housecarl, Hans ( @persz ) as they made their way for her daily prayers. 

 

"Y shall task meaself with returning Adria's holy repute to w light of canondom as his funeral favor. There z many wrongs to right in w coming years." Her voice faded to whispers as they crossed the arch of the white chapel, harkening herself unto the pews with a head bowed in reverence.

Franz Sarkozic lowered his head somberly, allowing a tear to fall upon reading the news, it staining the parchment that lay on the table.

 

“One of the great Sarkozic’s, his name and work shall surely go down into the annals of history.”
