'Black bells ringing, Stay clear...'
'For Satan is near.'

'It is a crime, it is a crime against God, that he plague us with this sickness! Who among you are guilty? ' Purple with rage the priest pointed his fat finger.

The church was silent, nary a whisper, as the accused stood. She bowed her head, so heavy with child, she tripped over her bare bloody feet.

'You say NOTHING!, nothing in your defense?!' The Priest stood up and began to roam the aisles.

She stood silent.
'Nothing?!" he spit, rot breath, seething sickness and ale, 'then let you be burned as witch insoafter your child is born. She turned away from the sick, the rot...

'There is a light, a light you fail to see. Feel it, see it. I am not what I seem.' She knelt to the floor, and a light of a thousand prisms enveloped the room.

'If you kill me, hate will be my vengeance. Kill me me, and you have sentenced yourselves to death.'

It was done, after the child was born.

This child whom had his mother murdered would become Marsus...

Stay Tuned!

Sort:  

See, you can't leave. For Marsus's sake.
