All of the Order of War and Flame's followers were lunatics, of this much Kieran was certain. That accusation included the higher-ranking followers as well. In fact, the higher-ups were more mad than their lower-ranking brethren.
The Flame had long since permeated their being, and in that time, followers of the faith—like Cardinal Weiss, for example—had assimilated all of its qualities. His energetic blood ran hot like immolating flames, he was assertive in his advances, and there was a wild, smoldering passion in every action he performed.
Cardinal Weiss could be perceived as the embodiment of War and Flame.
Naturally, Kieran didn't fare well against such an opponent. And, like fire, Cardinal Weiss knew no restraint. His reckoning was that of a wildfire.
"Strike with a vengeance, boy. Where is your passion? Where is that fire I saw out in the Pit?! Give it to me—I demand it!"
