The sun set beautifully, as the cleric William watches it from the window of his bedroom, the distant roar and noise of children downstairs, who are yet aware their father is slipping away. The illness came quickly into his system soon he felt weak, shakely with a high fever with every day passing he got worse. He stared out the window as the cold sweats start to pour quickly from his forehead, marking his face with a thick layer of grease. His face seemed to have aged twice as fast as the rest of his body, becoming wriggled and aged quickly his whole body shaking from the pressure of the illness, making his whole form weak. He reaches to the bedside table, struggling against the will of the silk sheets, finally reaching the quill and ink on the side; he struggles shaking with each muscle in his body as he sits up, laying a sheet of paper on his legs, he starts to write;
“Thank all of you for being there, i will miss you all;
-Penelope
- The Clerics of the Order
- Vectis; I am deeply sorry for everything, i told a gift from you and ripped it apart, i wish i could have solved this before, so i may of seen you once more.
- Lenia, Stay strong i still believe in you.
- All of my dear friends and family; Such as Aubrey who i will miss deeply.
I have spend my life in search for something, better and clearer to me, and yet my path is riddled with mistake and sin. I hope i at least did some good in this world; Even if i was alone i went on, even if it hurt and that was my worse mistake.”
With that, those were the final words of William; soon the illness took his ability to speak clearly, leaving these words as a memorial to his life. Soon the light began to leave his body, such as when the leafs drift slowly in the wind and leave the tree, finding the hard surface of the ground; marking the large reality of the many mistakes of his life. He moved with large effort to look at the window and see what would be the final view of his children in the yard, playing happily without a clue of the pain in the room; With that he smiled lightly as he rested back in the bed. He took it upon his self, to give the room one finale look. Around the room was a collection of his medical work and paintings, hung proudly on the wall; and yet with all the work, he felt empty and as a failure in his final moment, sighing he returns to his lay.
He took a few deep breaths, with struggle and shakely voice he whispers a prayer to Tahariae allowing him a small connection to him, and with that a small glow of light came from his hand as his soul left his body and he journeyed into the heavens.
A servant of Tahariae, a healer, and an artist, all of this didn’t matter in the final moments of his life, as he passed on and returned to his master.

OOC:
First of all, i must say its been a fun and STRESSFUL (At times) time on LOTC. I have been on here for just over a year now. Sadly i start College in the Fall, i know i cannot manage both RP and school work, so therefor i must leave LOTC, in truth i have been gone awhile, but i wanted to finish this and i struggled to do so putting it off. I decided the best way to keep myself away was to PK William even so, due to his nature he wouldn’t of lived much longer anyway. Thank you all for the fun times!
