Shame...shame...shame...
All he could think of was the anguish in his heart. He had been called a -disgrace-. It took all the composure he had, iron determination and will, to get Aelin some-place she would be cared for while he did his soul searching. Hopefully she wouldn't get into too much trouble with Nallia watching over her, though Nallia herself wasn't much older than Aelin. He hoped this torment he was putting himself through would not kill him...that would be unforgivable...no, he just needed to make sure his mind and heart were pointing the same direction.
-He- gave it to me...through a guardian spirit. I ought not to be ashamed of using it to his glory.
And yet he was, the look in the other Elf's eyes, the tone of his voice, they continued to conspire in his head. Continued reminding him that he -had- failed...had left rather than stay the course. Ushered from home by his parents, studying along the road with what little came from home of the Warfather...nevermind that he had been but a youngling then...barely older than Aelin was now. Perhaps that was the way it was supposed to be, but he still felt as though he was missing something. His stomach growled in protest, and he looked about the cramped cell. The cot he was sitting on sat across from a small writing table with a stool. The commode sat in the far corner of the room, near the outer wall of the building. A candle, set in the nook by his cot, provided light when lit, though now the cell was dimly lit by the grey traces of dawn filtering in the small window. He had entered the temple, dressed not in the fine cloth that had been gifted to him by blessed Eniel, but instead as a pilgrim, a supplicant. He had asked, no, -begged- for a place to contemplate the Warfather's will and finally received this cell...if for no other reason than the priestess of Selen did not want him wandering the halls. (Things were still rather tense as the priests of Eniel integrated themselves into Elmensfaar's society again). Once the room had been arranged, and a -hefty- donation given he had entered this room, locking the door behind him. He had wept bitterly for the first several hours, gnashing his teeth and raging at the walls, the frustration finally boiling over. When the tantrum was over, he meditated. On the next morning he was given a bucket of water to wash with and a full canteen with each of his two meals per day...he had barely touched the food last night, not that he wasn't hungry-his stomach growled again-he just wasn't in the mood to become distracted by a full belly. So, he fasted, and prayed, and fasted some more...today being the sixth day...he knew he'd have to leave eventually, but hopefully he would receive an answer from Eniel...
...hopefully...
