Slade awakens to start a brand new day, a dimly lit fogy morning covers all of Moonglow. His usual routine within the Order begins just the same, sliding the now worn armor onto his body, and grabbing the most trusted maul. Exiting the house to commence the now regular scouting throughout Moonglow, as he rids his mind starts wonder on the preparations at hand. "The new war with Nature is starting to take full swing, and I must be able to defend our cities", he thought to himself. With so many concealed evils upon his thoughts, he thought it would be best to visit the altar and pray to Esuna.

Entering the ally up towards the temple's corridor, the wind blows between the columns. Slade dismounts his horse and swiftly removes his helm, gliding into the altar room to begin his prayers. Kneeling upon the alatar in his bright holy titian colored robe, he begins to murmur to his Goddess, Esuna. "I have come to you today in seek that you will help me gain strength in this time of need". Slade take another breath, drawing courage from within to ask of his Goddess for what he seeks. "I have fought for your grace many times and have preached of your word to all that I've seen, and I will always remain faithful to you no matter the circumstances, my Goddess". "War is upon our doorstep, as the evil and corruption draws closer, they are attempting to take from us our cities within the empire and preach the name of blasphemous false gods". Slade pauses to gather his thoughts, "I will defend your name and our cities at all costs, with only your strength and grace as my guidance through all the turmoil we face ahead".

Slade awakens from prayer, he feels more focused on the task at hand. The times were indeed growing more chaotic, but it was expected the Order would return to war. A goal of the empire had been sought out from the beginning, and it would falter at the hands of lesser foes. The One True Faith under Esuna will conquer all that opposes, and with his plea for new power he would now strengthen the cause.

His thoughts are interrupted by footsteps, Slade puts his hand upon his maul as he turns. It was Maven, he knew at that second why he was beckoned...

Maven enters the temple, as he sees Slade rise from a kneeled position. He seemed to be startled from Maven's footsteps, a little uneasy. These times were increasingly tense of course, so Slade's heightened senses were understandable.

"Brother, I believe you know why I'm here today." Maven remarked.

Slade lowers his head and replied, "Yes, it's Her that brings us here."


Days had passed within the Imperium, Slade's tenure as a Templar of Imperial has brought him a wealth of knowledge. The true faith that would be bestowed upon him could only be approved by Her word. The whispers of Esuna had reached Maven and the prosperous message was to be delivered. The ceremony that which transferees Her true and profound power through Maven as Her vessel was to commence. Only the acknowledgement of such was left...

In Slade's mind, his prayers were answered nearly immediately, but his path had been in motion quite some time before. His aid to gather wealth for the Order, the recent duty of Esuna's expansion of Her empire and his never ending loyalty to the Imperium would be returned substantially.

Maven bellowed, "Let the true faith of Esuna powers flow through you, Brother."

Slade closes his eyes and responds quietly, "I am ready for Her blessing".

The process was now complete and the aura within Slade had grown. It was up to him now to use this gift of power for the good of Imperial. Another member within the Imperium grows stronger, a warrior of Esuna marches in place.
