Unanswered Prayers [Conquest] Empty Sun Mar 08, 2020 12:23 pm

Xandra Queen †
Sagrada Church is, perhaps, the saving grace of Dahlia's downtrodden and left behind. The poor of the city often gather here to pray. Usually their prayers are for the simplicity of a better life. Usually, they go unanswered. Unlike many locations in Fiore, you won't find resistance here. You won't find people who are willing to enter conflict for their rights. These people have long since been left behind, and will accept whatever promises that are given to them, because anything is better than what they already have. The real task, the difficult part, will be seeing if you can inspire them to truly believe in something once more.

The dull sun lingered in the sky, hiding behind grey clouds that always seemed to loom over the downtrodden city of Dahlia. It was as if the reign of the clouds perpetuated the way in which several obstacles laid in the path of the city’s saving grace, the light that would bring back the long-lost hope that had been forgotten at this point. The city itself, resides in a slump of danger and inherent poverty, unable to find the salvation that it wished to conquer. However, things were different now.

With the establishment of Daeva Eye, who decided to take over a mass of land within the old, treacherous and forgotten lands of Dahlia, they brought with them a glimmer of hope to turn this town into something better. If not that, to at least own the land and hence, protect it. It didn’t seem entirely unlikely to the female. However, the real issue arose as she pondered over the ways in which she could possibly convince the citizens that she was in fact, their ally, rather than their enemy.

It had been months since she had embarked on this journey, abandoning her knighthood which dissolved amidst the fight between the crown and the nobles. The sinister feeling that had loomed over her for years had miraculously dissolved as she found herself ecstatic over the freedom that she had gained. A small smile laced her lips as she recalled the decision she had made, to follow the strange and unknown woman into the dark where they would work together to create a place that would provide salvation for everyone, including herself. So far, the guild had accomplished the purpose that it was created for, in her mind at least. The joy and excitement that coursed through her veins was an indication of that.

To Xandra, this was a new chapter that she had willingly opened in her life. Leaving behind the knighthood and all the lingering negative feelings that she had hopelessly been clinging onto had given her the ability to open her arms and accept much more of herself as well as those around her. She was no longer shrouded with exhausting thoughts and the constant reminder that she joined the knights for a reason; a reason that was not the fact that she wanted to. She had come to realize that the her from the past has been vastly different, as well as foolish, to trudge into world thinking she could change it. If anything had resulted from that, it would be the fact that she herself had changed; and for the better too.

She had found the glimmer of hope in her life when she had found herself falling into the depths of her own despair. Now, she wished to do the same for the citizens of Dahlia. The poor people who struggled to live every day, just barely breathing for survival and nothing more.

The Bellan embraced her arms around her body as the cold air swept through the atmosphere, sending chills down her spine. The cloud of thin air, that shrouded the vicinity, slowly cleared as her steps drew closer to the small, dark building that stood among dying trees. A large cross stood atop the structure, dull and rusty from having been neglected for so long. The building was barely holding itself together as pieces of rubble cascaded down slowly, but surely, making it seem as if the structure would fall apart at any given moment. It was an oddly accurate representation of the incentivised will of the people that lived here, which was leisurely crumbling away into nothing.

The fog cleared up, making the surrounding scenery a lot more visible. The only threats to the reigning silence were the hushed voices of the people as they stampeded into the building to attend their regular prayer. Not being a believer of God herself, Xandra found it oddly unsettling to enter the vicinity which was full of people that dedicated their life to a higher being. However, once inside, she was embraced with a sense of warmth that she had not expected.

Contrary to the exterior, the inside of the building was far more put-together. It gave a rather home bound feeling to the Bellan who hadn’t known what a home exactly was. However, when her gaze slipped to take a look at the expressions of those around her, she realized that she was perhaps the only one who thought so. The interior of the building appeared to be as dull as the outside but the maintained wellness and the blotches of colour that occasionally adorned the walls through paintings and pictures made the place a lot more settling than she had anticipated. 

Although the crowd was still scarce as the time for prayer hadn't arrived yet, she could notice gazes travelling towards her. It wasn't uncommon for her as she had managed to make quite a name for herself in the days of her knighthood. However, she chose to ignore those blatant stares and headed further into the building. Glancing around, she made note of a particular figure, clad in a white robe. As he made his way around, gently smiling and nodding along to the words of those that passed him, she noticed the looks of adoration and the postures of respect that were directed towards him.

It hadn't taken much to realize that he was the priest of the church, a respectable one at that.

Wasting no time, she made her way over him. With a small bow, as she had previously seen others do, she offered him a smile which he returned, murmuring blessings towards. "Hello priest, my name is Xandra Queen and I am a member of Daeva Eye." The moment she had introduced herself, his eyes widened in astonishment, or so she had guessed. His expression seemed rather unreadable but she maintained the smile that laced her lips. 

After a moment of hesitance, he directed her to his office before the official prayer mass for the day was scheduled to start. "Yes, Miss Queen, what can I help you with?" That was all that was needed. Surprisingly, over the past year, the Bellan had discovered her way with words. Today, she was on a mission which needed her to make use of her skill set and so she did. She conveyed the intention of the guild which was to take over the land and carry the responsibility of handling it, assuring the man that their goals were aligned with the well-being of the city of Dahlia. 

After putting aside his concerns regarding the nature of the guild, she had managed to convince him. And yet, there was still something she was yet to accomplish. She gathered that it would not be difficult to gather the approval of these lifeless citizens. However, what she wanted was far more ambitious; it was for them to accept Daeva Eye as their pride and their protectors. And she was willing to do what it takes to achieve what she wanted.

The priest took her back to the main hall where the prayer mass commenced. People joined together in listening to the priest talk about the ways in which God will assist the citizens in gaining a better life as their prayers asked for one thing alone; for a better life.

The mass ended soon after as they all established a moment of silence to say their final prayers for the day. Upon the conclusion of that, the priest asked the Bellan to come forth as she stood in front of the people, voicing out her opinions without much resistance from the crowd. In fact, she didn't see the glimmer of hope that she had wished to see. However, what she did hear was a mellow voice of a young girl who voiced out her thoughts amidst the crowd of silent individuals. "It won't be tough for your guild to take over this place. There's no one competing for this place because no one wants it. You're free to take over and I'm sure no one objects to that." What followed were a series of nods and words in agreement with what she had said.

The female couldn't help but let out a small, humorless chuckle, which silenced the whole crowd as they stopped to listen to what she had to say. "You're right. There's no one fighting us for this place so it's very easy to take over it. But, I'm still here, asking you to willingly give us the responsibility for your church, not because we can't take it any other way, but because we want your approval. Dahlia is your city, it is a place where you all have been living for your entire lives. This church is the sacred place where you come to pray for better lives. I'm here to tell you that all we want to do, is answer those prayers. By establishing our guild in this city, we made it our home. It's my home now, just as much as it is yours and I will do whatever it takes to protect this place and protect you, the people living here."

The words slipped out of her mouth and she could see that people were believing her and hence, she continued. While she made sure not to instill any false hope, she also probed them further in establishing a faith towards the guild which would later, only be beneficial to them. They needed the support of the citizens right now in order to make the reign prominent and that trust was what she had wished to build. "I'm not promising that your lives will become a lot happier all of a sudden because that's not something I can control. What I can offer you is someone to rely on. The past few years have been rather devastating for our country and you would know, because you all have bared the burnt of it." She could see them visibly nodding as their eyes shone with a glimmer of hope. "But now, you won't have to anymore because we're here to protect you. We're here to protect our home. I don't want to gain control of this church if it's not without the approval of all of you. After all, this was your home first and I'm asking you to make the choice of getting your prayers answered." 

The rest of the scenario broke down as the crowd busted into a series of idle chatter and murmur. If there was anything that made her proud, it was the fact that she had successfully manage to get rid of that dreading silence that lingered in the vicinity for what felt like hours. However, it didn't take long to gain their enthusiastic approval. While no different from their previous approval and will to freely give the church over to the guild, it held a special meaning. Her words, albeit an improvisation of sorts, had made an impression on some. Not all were convinced to put their faith in Daeva Eye instead of their God but the glimmer of hope in their eyes was a start.
