will heaven step in?
Noah didn’t expect Vi to reciprocate how he was feeling, and how he had walked through this. Because it wasn’t about Vi. It was about Noah.
When the earth turned and silently sang its own praises, the Forsaken could feel the air around him change. He could feel it lighten, and for there to be more light in the temple only brightened by candles. When his deity spoke, the Forsaken lifted his head. He stayed settled on his knees, reverent before Vi.
”I will continue to do work here, in your name,” Noah said with sincerity. He pulled his sleeve slightly and used it to dry his cheeks. ”But I believe I will need to do more in your name across Caido.” Noah knew he didn’t have to explain to the god what was happening — certainly he knew. He must know of the shooting stats and the empty craters, and of all the manner of flora and fauna that were changed.
Even with that, though, Noah had to ask. He couldn’t stay silent, couldn’t stay confined. ”You have blessed me greatly. I feel that now more than ever. But I have been a warrior for you, now I must be a mender.” Noah looked to the statue of Vi before turning his eyes back to the real thing. "I believe I still belong in Halo, but I will not forsake this land. If you would have it, I will still pour into it and heal it. But I believe the rest of the world needs some healing, too."
