~` Killing of clergymen in Karosgrad 359ES `~
End of Diet of Karosgrad
The voting of those present had been concluded and so the votes of those absent clerics, would be given in time, presenting the official conclusion of the Diet. Episcopus Otho had already witnesed his teacher's betrayal,
as Cardinal Benedict Jorenus voted no confidence in Owyn III. It was not totally unexpected, Otho did warn Alfred the day before, of those that would possibly betray the church. Cardinal Benedict was very eager to have
father Basil ordained, having aproached poor Otho and tried to convince him to hastenly ordain the young man that had interesting political views as Benedict told him. Otho refused, not believing in swift ordinations, his mind
was focused on his duty. This was a clue in Otho's mind, after he heard Basil's poisonous tongue time and time again through these months.
The leaders of Haense and of the 'Holy' Orenian Empire, returned to the Bassilica after discussing about the present state of the voting. Even though there were more votes to be anounced in the future by the absentees.
They hastenly showed to everyone in the Bassilica, that the voting did not matter to them. It was nine in favour of Owyn III and eight in non confidence. Perhaps if they waited more, they would have allowed things
to progress more peacefully and not have their hands bloodied by the blood of clerics and holy sers. They announced that they would have Owyn III removed for they do not recognise him. Otho was enraged by this,
for they clearly do not respect the Diet nor the clerics. He rose from his seat and shouted "THE APOSTATIC LEADERS HAD THIS ALREADY PREDECIDED! SHAME ON THEM!"
The End Drew Near
Soon after the announcement of the leaders, two lines were formed. Depending the side one would be on, he or she would view this differently. For Otho it was the line of the apostates, schismatics and those of the deciever
and opposite the line of the true clerics that understand that even if Owyn's reputation is bad, his ascension to the pontificated was true and thus blessed by the Godani. But does the Godani matter any more?
After the upcomming massacre, from the ashes of the old, indeed something new will rise, but weaker than before. The end of Canonism is aproaching.
Shouting continued, a glass was heard breaking from the right of Otho, did someone get hurt? Some guards tried to arrest the clerics that resisted leaving the house of the Godani by force. Clearly nothing matters any more.
The house of Godani is yet another fighting pit in the eyes of modern humanity. Otho was one of those resisting, refusing to leave the sanctuary of the Godani. So he and many others shouted at the corrupted
and tainted with sin supposed Canonists and disloyal clergy that joined them. Soon all of their blades were drawn and the clash took place.
Final Moments
Otho drew his aurrum blade, the same blade that was used for cleansing the Bassilica from a certain geist. Clearly inexperianced with it and without armor he had no chances. His last words were "GODANI VULT!". A blade in the stomach, another in the back and a last one in his left ribs. The guards had swarmed him like angry bees, stinging him mercilessly. The end had arrived. Otho fell to the ground, bloodied and broken. His last breath escaped his body and he knew he had fallen for what he believed the right and just cause to be. Will he and the other fallen even recieve a burial? May the Godani rest his poor soul.
