Gideon
Imposing penance one by one
You've got a virtue in a vice
Gideon had been humbled by the spirits in the Temple; they had taken any pride he'd had about his part in this whole thing and beaten it back down to size. He was servant, a cog in the machine, not a hero nor a God; he had to remember that. He was there first and foremost to serve and consider and he had failed by not considering what he was keeping in the house of the Gods.
He could only hope he would be forgiven.
Walking through the Celestine, still limping and using a cane, he could almost forget everything that had happened. Beautiful blooms just coming in for the Longheat and creatures scurrying by his feet: once again, it served to remind Gideon of what he fought for, what he was preserving, what the Voice would see replaced with cold metal and energy.
Finally coming to the shrine, Gideon slowly got down to his knees and drew from a satchel hanging on his shoulder a wooden boat; carved and painted with a deft hand, there were slots in it for several little dolls to fit in, which came in their own box - a Captain, a skipper, a prisoner. "Ludo, I need your guidance. Please, answer my prayer." He requested, head bent as he placed the boat and box on the edge of the Shrine.

With all the history to guide
You've got a passion in those eyes
