RoleChapter 3 Seeking Justice Added Thu Nov 23 23:13:31 2023 at level 10:Stepping into a plain building near the Darsylon near the Temple of Darsylon, Aelerion caught his breath on the simple solemnity of the guildhall.
In the entryway, his eyes caught an elderly paladin, an imposing yet kindly figure with a long gray beard cascading down his armor. The seasoned paladin looked up from an ancient book to regard Aelarion with a look of understanding, born of years of service and sacrifice.
Aelarion sensed an innate goodness in the man, but hesitated briefly before stepping forward, his voice steady but bearing the weight of anguish. "Kind Knight, I seek your aid. Creatures razed my village and murdered everyone I knew. They must be hunted down and killed."
The paladin's kind eyes gazed at the young Elf with a discerning scrutiny. "Ah, revenge. All too common of a motivation, isn't it? Your anger is palpable, young one. But is it truly just vengeance that you seek?"
Aelarion faltered, unprepared for the simple question. "Well, they must pay for their sins, mustn't they? Can you help me?"
"Justice," the paladin spoke softly, "is not born from the fire of revenge. It is tempered by the light of truth and goodness. In this guild, you will find no mercenaries. We are seekers of justice, not merely executors of personal vendettas."
Aelarion's chest tightened, grappling with the emotions that surged within him as he rethought his quest. "I couldn't stop them from destroying my village. But what of the next? Someone must do something. They must answer for what they've done, before they do it again."
Smiling slightly at the Elf, the paladin considered him for several minutes before reverently closing the ancient tome he'd been reading, revealing the symbol of a solar eclipse. With a sense of reverence, he gazed lovingly at the book before handing it over to young Aelarion.
"Within these pages," the paladin said, offering the tome to Aelarion's shaky hands, "lies the beginnings of an answer to your quest for justice. Let this tome, and let Her, be your guiding light."
Unspoken words passed before them, as the young Elf considered the elderly paladin. He didn't fully understand the paladin's meaning, not yet. But in that moment of clarity he knew that he could not hide behind revenge alone.
The young elf turned away for a moment as he felt the weight of the tome in his hands, feeling it's divine aura. "Justice", Aelarion whispered solemnly. "Justice is what Thera needs."
After a moment of contemplation, Aelarion turned, ready to express his newfound determination to the paladin, seeking reassurance and guidance on his new path. Yet, the aged figure was no longer there, leaving the chamber empty and the choice in Aelarion's hands alone.
Only the entrance to the paladin's guild sat before him now, ready for him to take the next step.
