#24800, "Unalethekai's Role Chapter 7"
|
RoleChapter 7 Life Update (Sorry, slightly long) Added Sun Oct 12 11:58:59 2008 at level 51:Unalethekai grunted, sweat dripping down his brow and onto his wool tunic as he rolled once more onto his back to begin his third set of sit-ups. The Hall of Fire felt like its name, warm as a furnace, although it was likely only due to the fact that Unalethekai had been exercising for the last hour.
It had started when Isendor made a comment about his stomach. By no means fat, Unalethekai HAD developed a bit of a paunch lately, no doubt due to the fact that he no longer needed to sprint from all corners of Thera to the Redhorn gate for defense. Succor, it seems, is a mixed blessing.
Panting, he rolled again to his knees and started his third set of push-ups as he continued to consider his motivations.
There was a woman. As there usually is whenever a man becomes hyper-aware of his physique. Padwei, Elder Prophet of the Light. She had surprised him, the other day on the Snow-Covered Ledge. He thought she was going to chastise him again for his rough manners, but instead she gave him gifts. One, a big fluffy pair of socks, and two.....a kiss. He cares for her a great deal, perhaps even loves her, but he's hesitant about pursuing anything.
His first duty is to the Light, and the Fortress. And it seems that in the coming days, even more will be asked of him. He has no doubt that he can handle the burden of leadership, but he won't risk compromising it by trying to spread himself too thin. Captain of his own ship, First Mate of the Thundering Maiden, Acolyte of the Golden Sun...it's a good thing that leadership has never been much of a burden to him, as used to it as he is.
Unalethekais, massive, bulging arms shook with fatigue as he stood once again and moved towards the weapon rack where Defiance waited for him. He took the blade in his hands, reveling in the balance and the feel of the hilt in his calloused fists, and aware, as he always was, of the blade's legacy. It reminded him, as his Lady Tempest did, that the mortal will is capable of anything, if it is strong enough.
He began moving through the forms, slashing, lunging, thrusting, sweat pouring off him now. His conversation with Isendor last eve had also helped to steel his resolve. The Marshall sought to be with his Beloved, and who could blame him. What could be more precious to the Light than a love that transcends the boundaries of the mortal coil?
So much rested on Unalethekai's shoulders now, and he couldn't chance being weak, or soft, or lenient. In the past, many of his enemies had escaped death at his blade, and he couldn't allow that now. A tainted soul allowed to escape meant one more threat lurking, waiting for an opportunity to harm those he loved, Padwei, or his brothers and sisters in the Fortress.
He had learned a good deal from Isendor in the decades since he had enlisted as a Scribe, and he knew that if he hoped to be Marshall, he would need to hone his bladework, perfect his strategy. His prayers were powerful, his healing touch renowned, but if he hoped to stand at the Redhorn gate, repel any attackers that might come, and pursue them into oblivion, as a Marshall of the Fortress should, he would need to forge his body into a weapon of the Light.
