Role

Chapter 11

The duties of the Cardinal had been entrusted to him at the very time
the darkness grew to a force he had not seen in his lifetime. This was
well, he thought, for he knew it was within him to bring the Light upon
the world, turning that tide once more.

To come from the darkest depths, to withstand all that might be thrown
against a body and spirit, made one stronger in the end.

He had spoken with the Elder Prophet for the first time, at length, now.
And his concern was that the Light could not fully expunge taint if taint was
allowed to remain in one's own spirit and mind. He stood opposed to her
on many things. Yet, he held hope for they shared many more.

Not only did his truest foes multiply but the need for his harsh stance
against indulging the darkness in anyway grew as well. He battled on
many fronts, in many ways and relished each day alive for it was a day
that confirmed his dedication to his holy cause.

A cause that he now must strike up others to. To bring new blood and
hope from obscurity to the front lines.
