Gideon
Imposing penance one by one
You've got a virtue in a vice
It wasn't quite the turn out he'd hoped for - Gideon would remember who did and didn't arrive on this day - but it seemed this was all they would get. With a quiet sigh he turned his head up towards the shrine and admired it for a moment before he spoke, giving his spirit time to adjust to the Gods' glory and get prepared for the prayer.
"Our Heralds - Ludo, Safrin, Frey - we pray for your guidance. After Cian's death, the Order feels lost and without direction. We were so sure we were headed down the right path; now we see we must have been wrong. Our pride and hubris has cost us and now we humbly bend a knee to you and ask you to set us right. To help us eliminate those that put our - your - world in danger." It was clear Gideon was used to leading prayers, the words coming from his lips with a fluid consistency, but there was something less confident about the tone than usual.
