The Priest

For a day, I waited in my cold dark cell, waiting, thinking. I wonder if the Emperor will keep his word, is that the final test, will I just be executed now. I grow sick almost every time I look to my hands, as I can still feel as if blood was slowly dripping onto them. I keep thinking about Mendax.

Yet I found none and the only thing I noticed in this dimly lit room were on a table,"Put it on, you'll need it for today." Still scared I follow her orders in fear of retribution, I hastily put on the outfit. I find it is only a simple long red coat inscribed with runes." I never thought I would see the day,"I turn to her to catch a small grin poking out of her strong defenses. As soon as she catches me watching though and returns to her normal self. I follow her to a pair of mighty metal doors. 

They slowly open and a bright light floods out of the small crack, which soon grows revealing a massive ornate hall, with pictures of mighty battle painted onto the walls next to the golden pillars. Amorin points to a alter and then whispers into my ear,"The people on the side are nobles from the main clans and minor clans. Whatever you do, try to not let them catch you staring or you will find a knife in your back." I start the walk to the alter,
