Role

Chapter 11

Bellassan met with Azorinne, and she elevated him to full Acolyte status. This was done so
probationally, as he had a few accidents with area effect songs that had caused good
aligned people to die, even somewhat recently.

Bellassan had never met with a deity before, and those of course he fully understood
that they were real and active and shaping the world, being in the presence of one
is a much different story. In the aftermath of the meeting, he feels conflicted.
Bellassan is a self-doubting person by nature, and the trust given to him as an
Acolyte is both an honor and a burden, which he feels is the appropriate way to view
such a role anyway. But more-so, because he does not feel worthy of it.

But aside from his feelings about the role of the Acolyte, there is the larger LIFE
question of his role as an elf in the land. He had always given lip-service to
his own faith, as a follower of Einoh, but had never really dedicated himself to
the deity behind the faith. It was a set of precepts to follow, a guide for which
to base his actions. He had not really thought of Einoh as... well, real. Not
real in the sense that he could seek out and speak to the deity personally. That
seemed too big for a homeless child from the streets of Galadon.

But he is realizing he is not that child anymore. Life is long, and our past is
only where we begin. He will have to think on this more.
