Divided Between Faith and Father
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
For it was not upon the shoulders of one GOD-fearing nephilim to decide the sway of GOD's hand upon the actions of others, it was upon himself to hold forth faith in the old church, the one that required no temple nor gold, silver or blessed waters, all but pure faith seemingly blinded by what it was to be mortal. He was traditional in his ways, having walked the streets of Petrus and visited many holy sites throughout the history of mankind. He was old, yet immortal and had sinned to become such. Yet, he was baptized. Redeemed in the waters of rebirth within Estermeadow in Athera to follow GOD and serve him even if visitation to cathedrals and monasteries was not something he indulged. Balthazar knew that conflict would come and that those who bore the cross, much like he, would come to arms against each other. He wore the Lorraine upon his garb, hung rosary from belt, and prayed in the morning, afternoon, and evening for the souls of the faithfully departed. However, within him was a GOD fearing man one that did not fear his church but feared damnation, something his FATHER the Titan saved him from. GOD as he knew it was replaced as he was reborn from man to drake, from mortal to immortal. It was then, that a choice was made. IT was his choice as it had always been, his choice to decide, his time to finally walk towards Asioth. He would fight his brothers in faith, serve his brothers anew, and dispatch mortal men who sought to keep the world from his FATHER's embrace. This, at his core did hurt the newborn azdrazi, yet one Balthazar the Scorched knew that the time was nigh so he prayed, a prayer for all, a prayer for those he had yet to cut down and render flesh to nothing but entrails of clot covered skin and steaming miasma from the fires he would burn them with. It was but the beginning, there was no Skies for him. It was something he came to terms with long ago. So, he prayed for others and not himself and stood from the pew he was knelt in and with a close of the GOOD WORD. He left to seek his FATHER for council.
