The text that goes with this picture. (NSFW)
This text is SFW. I recommend reading the PDF version.
I'm still open for personal icon/avatar, they're 10$ each.
I can write short stories/tales too, note me if interested.
It's been week that Amunsei and Draselth travel side by side. They met in a brawl fight that ended up in laughs. They choose to team up instead of punching each other. For once, they choose to spend the night in the city; Draselth really needed to take time to rest in a real bed instead of a camp. Our story begins in their shared room. Amunsei was relaxing on the bed when Draselth came into the room. There is a lamp on the table, providing light into the room.
AMUNSEI
(Waves at Draselth)
Welcome back. Did you enjoy taking a good bath?
DRASELTH
(Drops his cleaning kit and his towel near his backpack)
I really needed that. A bath, a hot meal and a soft bed.
AMUNSEI
(Taps the empty space on the bed)
Get in then, there is enough space for both of us.
DRASELTH
(Undresses and get by the side of Amunsei)
This will definitely be better than sleeping on the ground.
AMUNSEI
You look quite stressed. So what's on your mind?
DRASELTH
(Takes time to think and sighs)
I travelled for years around the country, fighting oppressors and defending my faith. I don't remember the last time I just laid down to talk to someone. It feels... weird.
AMUNSEI
You don't take time to rest?
DRASELTH
Yes and no. I've lost so much, it still hurts me inside.
AMUNSEI
You should try to meditate to clear your mind more often, this might help.
DRASELTH
Yeah... I should do that.
AMUNSEI
Thanks for the room by the way.
DRASELTH
My pleasure.
AMUNSEI
Want to talk about it? You might feel better after that.
DRASELTH
I'm a bit surprised that such a thug would like to listen.
AMUNSEI
(Nudges at Draselth)
I can be the good guy once in a while. So, tell me.
DRASELTH
(Takes a goblet on the table, fills it magically with water before drinking it)
Every started in my hometown; Starfire. I was an acolyte and an apprentice in my temple. I tried as much as I could taking care of my twin brother by bringing him food and gifts. One day, the city was invaded and our 'guardian' chooses to burn everything in her path instead of pushing back the invaders. We managed to flee.
On the surface, we found other survivors, but it didn't tke long before our 'guardian' came back, taking back everything that did matter to me in this world. I miss them, I miss them deeply. As sad I can be, I'm no longer able to cry. Most of my feelings are buried with them.
AMUNSEI
This is horrible.
DRASELTH
(Nods)
It's hard to get over it, but life is life; it's not always fair.
They remain silent for some time.
AMUNSEI
So tell me about your temple and your cult. We're both monks, but we're not sharing the same discipline.
DRASELTH
I'm a servant of the cult of the Ancients. The Ancients are a pantheon of deities that wish for a greater good. They choose to unite instead of waging religious wars against each other.
AMUNSEI
Who are they?
DRASELTH
There are Melinor Zekiel, the Ancient of Justice and War; Lumen Sanctum, the Ancient of Light and Sun; Hassanary Mortiene, the Ancient of Knowledge and Magic; Amaros Reindall, the Ancient of Life and Death; Great Bark, the Ancient of Unity and the Elements; and Baan Arkdramalech, the Ancient of Liberty and Destruction.
Even if I worship each one of them, I do send more prayers to Baan and Lumen Sanctum.
AMUNSEI
The medallion you are always wearing is the symbol of one of them?
DRASELTH
Yes, it's the symbol of Baan. The lantern I'm carrying is the symbol of Lumen Sanctum. My sword bears the symbol of Unity, the one representing the whole pantheon.
AMUNSEI
This is interesting.
DRASELTH
The faith is only a part of our training. Every apprentice is required to learn how to fight with at least one weapon. You can't be the defender of the faith if you can't defend yourself. I choose the way of the sword, just like my Elder did. He would be proud that I still own the sword he gave me after all those years.
AMUNSEI
So you're a servant of your cult through faith and weapon training?
DRASELTH
Exactly.
AMUNSEI
I guess we're not that different.
DRASELTH
What do you mean?
AMUNSEI
In the Shadow Claw monastery, we learn that faith and meditation aren't enough to make a good follower. While inner strength is required, there is a secret that lies in the flesh and the skin. The body is a weapon that requires training as much as the mind does. The perfect balance between the two let us achieve impressive feats of strength. I can bend and shatter metal with my bare hands without hurting myself. Only a few can do the same.
DRASELTH
Noticed that. Better not get into a fistfight with you again.
AMUNSEI
You should get some sleep now, before we stay up for too long.
DRASELTH
Good idea. Good night.
AMUNSEI
(Steps out of bed to turn off the lamp before returning to bed)
Have a good night.
