I am so tired, please let my eyes rest for a moment, just for one moment without pain, without purpose I beg of you- let me rest.
The woman's eye fluttered as she laid on the cold wet stone floor. It had been several weeks since being thrown into the dungeon of the southern kingdom, she was sent as an offering to their God Salvodioh- a God who brings fiery wraths in his anger, often causing droughts and wildfires where he walks. However, they are unaware that this is not his doing- a God who has been asleep for nearly 3,000 years, a God who had grown tired of his creation, and lays asleep waiting until the right time is to come. All of this was their own doing, or the forces of nature at work.
Gods are not always omnipotent, they are not always in control of the world around them, sometimes they take naps. Sometimes, humans are cruel and take advantage of their slumber as they do now. They hope by burning me, the loyal servant of Luhnix, a God who shines his light upon people, one of the purest of beings in the holy realm- that Salvodioh will have mercy and end the fires.
He will not- it will end like the previous thirty two attempts to sacrifice me, Luhnix will send floods to the lands and fires that last 20 years in anger, they will blame the priest and the fires will end. This will be the same, no matter how much I beg, no matter how much I plead and give them my lord's word, and display my powers which are forbidden to be used against other people.
Forbidden to cause harm, forbidden to use to protect myself. I must lay here and wait to be reclaimed by the lord.
I pray that you will let me rest- I delivered your word, but branded a witch, they are no longer grateful, please let me rest, I cannot take anymore of this.Please…
Just a few centuries at least.. Maybe then they will be ready…
I took a heavy breath, and I felt the life leaving. They would not be allowed to have a ceremony with me alive this time, I would be dead before I am burned down to my bones and spread across the land.
However.. God ignored me again, and left me another message.
Save my children holy child- your mission continues.
