Order in the Wake of Memory

Order in the Wake of Memory

 

Emptiness in where mortal vessels ceased. A means to explore the nature of the maker’s children. Where physicality seemed irrelevant for revelation was truth for those who walked upon this land. And so this was where Richard and Masao had arrived, the journey began upon endless glass.

 

Alas, there was sight with the silence of their thoughts beginning to create life. Before those knights of order was the embodiment of visualization of their own wretched fate. Seared through the essence of their lives remained a slain lion, and above it was a carrion’s dragon. A cur that would feast upon the corpse of Gold and call it just. Such despair manifested in the form of death for an endless cycle of steel to draw and sheathe continued on the quest of the two Paladins in exploration of the realm.

 

Yet, as they moved did the realm continue to shift to accommodate their woes and misery from a fallen ember. Regrets of a father that continued to haunt him every waking day. Through burden did the realm warp and shift before revealing the twisted cruelty that was this place. The family of Order manifest to trail upon the two, trailing upon Richard. Whispers of the maw, echoes of abandonment, condemnations of defeat. And so those spectrals of the Othaman family trailed. A fallen spouse, a fallen son, the failure that was that Knight of Ahad. 

 

The next reminder manifested itself. Murderer to the Othaman, kinsman to the Hirano. Gashakadokuro, an imitation that smiled upon finding a descendant of his very line. Masao Hirano, a cursed soul of the Joma reuniting with his ancestral antithesis Shinji, the blight of Sakuragakure. Isolation, ostracization, and spite. A common thread between the two of the cursed lineage, the path of the broken. In silence did Richard keep himself, allowing his Brother of Order the mercy to find determination in his being.

 

Though in time the scar reminded that there was another present besides defeat. Order and Guardianship. Duty and Compassion. To reject the call of darkness and to embrace the duty of salvation. Masao ruminated, shaken, consoled only by the past of his battles.

 

Masao himself needed to decide the fate that would befall his mind. To yield or to continue. Then came a voice, echoing within his mind that now whispered alongside the blowing winds. It then immediately was met with a reply with his own voice. What spoke was a reminder of the oath he had made to a fallen Shugo, a fallen mentor, a fallen friend. Masao’s charge was to cleanse the stain of his clan, to break the folly that fell every generation of his clan. He was to be the progenitor of Clan Hirano’s new light.

 

No spear manifested, no flash of lightning, but merely the utter embodiment that was the ideal of the Sunlit Covenant. To be the paragon that upheld the descendant realm. A son of light knowing his call to be the stalwart shield. And so that confrontation with family dissipated away, an idea supplanted with virtue.

 

Even here where the material seemed distant did the smell that was the rot of infernal seemed to pierce the senses of the two Paladins. It crawled slowly, ever approaching. The realm violently warped, their time here clearly coming to a close. A need for protection arose rapidly. Perhaps a blessing of the realm, the other side of the horror they just waded. A dome almost akin to that of Marian’s old Refuge, a sanctuary of light seemingly forming around the two until they alas disappeared.
