Thirst for Righteousness!

But where will his thirst for righteousness lead him? Can the Vanguard – Alister, Terry, Don and Obidaan’s own wife Relina save Obidaan before he succumbs to the hate he now feels in his heart? How will the now fractured Paladin Corps deal with this unprecedented situation? What’s a good man to do when he realizes no good deed goes unpunished?

Fate Decided

“It’s been almost five years,” Lord Seer said. He was sitting on his celestial throne look at a forest of trees.

“Yes it has”, Lady Seer responded, “Did we do the right thing?”

“Only time will tell, he has many branches, many decisions, however no matter what, only two paths emerge.”

They sat side by side on their opulent thrones, dots of light darting around them, seemingly busy with their own agendas, in what could be consider nothingness except for the forest. Each tree represented a person in the world of Milvenduz and as they made choices branches grew thicker while other withered and died off. Branches then began to go in seemingly infinite directions, till a decision was made. Often branches met and intertwined, just as people meet and their lives become intertwined. Sometime they meet and one or both go away. At the end of each branch is a single leaf, indicating the person to whom it belongs. Green and lush at the beginning of life, dry and brittle at the end, till it finally falls off.

“Did we violate the rules when we chose him?” Lord Seer asked.

“It was upheld by Him.” Lady Seer replied.

“Still,” Lord Seer pondered, “we can not know our own outcomes from this decision.”

“I wonder where our branch is heading to.”

“Only He knows.”
