Random stories from a random monk of Winchester
Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2012 1:21 am
Sebastian felt like the world was in turmoil. Criminal activity so common, their hideouts so numerous, and even some deities allowing them safe havens in their guarded areas.
Depressive thoughts raged in his mind; is this world going to be doomed to be ruled by malevolent or selfish forces? He felt incompetent; unable to protect Britannia, not because lack of trying much, but because of the ranks of Law diminishing, some of them even choosing criminal careers.
Where do loyalties of people lie? Is it only selfishness and easy money that matters? What about the future of Britannia? Is this the human nature, to follow the easy money, regardless of methods? Money is power, and power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. When the power is in wrong hands, the result will be a world of paranoia and injustice.
Is Britannia even worth defending? Does anyone follow the eight virtues anymore, Sebastian wondered.
Luckily, for Sebastian, there are some highly loyal people in Law, who have a full commitment to Winchester - the uncorrupt deity - and the virtues of Britannia. Winchester was once a human being, but it was exactly his extraordinary ability to stay uncorrupt and highly virtuous, which made him to progress to the state of a demi-god. These loyal followers of Winchester have been highly supportive. Sebastian felt thankful for them.
Sebastian also consulted his wise, older relative, who said he must not give up. He suffers of depression. He needs time to recover, and definitely, to avoid battle for some time. Too much of bloodshed he has seen and participated in, alongside his fears of world in turmoil and the doubting of peoples real motives, have together led to his weakened mental condition. He must rest for a while, the relative said. Seven days of just resting and trying to blank his mind was the recommendation. Sebastian listened to his words, and knew him of his high experience and intellect - he decided to follow the wise man's suggestion. After the acute first seven days, he must still avoid battle. He must avoid all trauma and situations which may cause anxiety. He must fix himself, and it takes time, no one knows how long.
Sebastian listened, considered, and knew him of his high experience and intellect - he decided to follow the wise man's suggestion. After the acute first seven days, he must still generally avoid battle and act as a support for his order mostly by non-violent means. He must avoid all trauma and situations which may cause anxiety. He must repair himself, and it takes time - no one knows how long.
