A Priest's Journey
Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2011 10:28 pm
Aerius had come into these lands a few weeks ago, from his home in a small Village several days journey by boat to the North. He had come here with nothing but the clothes on his back and the strong desire to do something more with his life than to live and die in the small village his family tree had firmly planted it's roots.
His first few days into the lands of Britannia were not as welcoming as he had hoped. Within his first few days in the lands, a local had approached him and took his life in the name of his “god” a being of Death while working in the fields. Days of hard labor on local farms for meager wages to pay for food and slowly save up for armor and and a horse. At the days end of work, he found time to train his skills to become a Priest. With his arms already sore from harvesting crops, often times the creatures in the local Training Grounds often got the best of him.
Despite these few moments of hardship, after some time working and training he was able to quit working the fields and start his training full time. Earning money from selling various items from the creatures he killed in the mountains and valleys around the city Britain, he also managed time to make a few friends who would venture with him and often train hand to hand with him.
After having become a Priest and thinking it would all be down hill from here, others started asking questions regarding which Religion he had in mind to join. He knew damn well he would not follow the “god” of the man who slayed him in the fields, and despite the visit to Moonglow's Temple and introduction to the Imperial by Tyrion he knew that was not for him either.
During his travels he entered the city of Trinsic to further his study of Anatomy and happened to walk by the Temple, as if an answer to his prayers, it seems he had stumbled upon his path. He took off his shoes and entered the Temple. A warm and welcoming feeling enveloped him as he looked around, Aerius decided to spend the night in Prayer and Meditation.
In the morning, he opened his eyes and disregarding his fatigue and felt relieved that he had found what he had been looking for, faith. Aerius searched out the Head Priest and a conversation about his desire to join, and received a list of skills he must master before entering the Order and begin his path.
Weeks later, after having mastered the required skills... Aerius sent a Pigeon to the Head Priest of Law and took a boat to Trinsic. He entered the Temple and knelt at the Alter, putting himself in a state of meditation awaiting any sign that he was ready to enter the Order.
It was clear his training was just beginning...
