RoleChapter 7 A Minor Setback Added Thu Apr 7 19:35:35 2005 at level 38:. I took a gamble, not long ago. I hunted down a woman who had dared to make an attempt on my life, and killed her within Voralian City. Of course, I knew it was a violation of Imperial Law, and my only shield against being named Anathema by the Father of Anger was my twisting of Imperial Law, so that I might appear to have made an understandable mistake. The Father, being what he is, surely knew of my deceit, and perhaps saw something worth salvaging when he offered me the choice between becoming a mere Bloodoath, or an Anathema. My plans are far from fulfilled, and so I would have been a fool to accept the path of the hunted. Now I am at the bottom once again, but the other Oaths, and even those above me in position know not to trifle with me. They know I will rise again.
. One thing I have learned by this event is that the Gods do not trust the mortal leadership of the Empire to handle their own business. That tells me that I must be more cautious than ever, and also that there is room to build on that mistrust. Such knowledge is a dangerous weapon, and I will use it if need be. Though I am not in the best of favor with the Father, he surely knows that I have stood up for his name, as well as the Dark Dream's, when so many other citizens forsook them to praise only one...Khasotholas. But would my respect for all worthy Gods be enough to protect me if ever a word were uttered about the one whom I truly hearken to? No, I think not. It is why the name of the Hydra must never come from my mouth. To the Empire I will be seen as merely respectful of the Gods, not as someone who is beholden to any of them.
. I did not always think of the Hydra as my patron. He was one of many Gods whose philosophies had caught my eye. Admitedly, no other set of beliefs rang so true with me as his did, but I kept it to myself, and tried not to give that revelation much weight...I ignored it. I can no longer suppress this basic truth about myself for fear of what might happen if it were discovered.
. Heresy is nothing new, and those with heretical views have died horrible deaths countless times in the past. The catalyst for creating such a disaster is a loose tongue. Some fools just don't know when to shut up, and I don't intend to follow in their steps. My faith in the Hydra will be between he and I, exclusively.
