Priest of Etro

Author Notes: A semi companion piece to the Daughter of Etro and Son of Etro. It is told from Robe Guy' perspective, but for some reason he kind of reminds me of a priest with him wearing a robe. Hints of Robe Guy and Etro

I purposefully planned my death.

Drank a poison I brewed from different type of herbs, the other priest didn't expect thing, nor did they expect one of their own would purposefully train to gain power of Etro.

For I knew exactly the day when Etro would bestow her light on a certain amount of people. People, who are on the verge of death, people who she saw worthy in her eyes.

Even though I am not entirely sure why she would do such a thing, especially when the majority of them probably doesn't deserve her power.

Or perhaps I am being a bit on the biased side, for in my eyes I am the only one worthy of her power. I am the only one cherished her power, because strangely enough I love her.

Me, a priest who serves the Temple of Etro.

The more that I learned about her, the legends of her that I studied, the more I loved her. To the point I probably came obsessed with her, and I would do anything for my Queen of Death. I would do her bidding if that is what she asked. I would cause a war between the greatest nations of the world, I would kill her children so in her eyes I would be the only person she sees.

The only person she can praise.

The only person who can unseal her from eternal tomb.

I know the other priests weren't happy with my obsession even tried to kill me after they realized I can see the Light of Etro, but before they can utter word to the King of Tenebrae.

I silenced them.

Using the abilities I gained from my Queen of Death. I couldn't deny the fact the looks of horror and pain on their faces brought a certain amount of pleasure to my life.

I told king lies of what really happened that night, that the priests were killed by some assassin, and that I was only the survivor. The king didn't expect anything less, but during my time at the castle I met another person like myself.

The adopted daughter of the king, but I instantly recognized her as General Fleuret's only daughter. A close friend of the kings, and I wasn't to surprise to see he adopted her. Even though I have a sneaky suspicion the king will use her.

For people like us will be quite useful during times of war, and it is possible I may even find a use for her. Despite the fact I know she is considered as a child of Etro, I sincerely doubt she has met another person like herself even during the short time we spent together.

I can tell she hated and didn't trust me.

For awhile I feared that she would tell her adopted father of her mistrust for me, but during my times with the king he continued to trust me like the fool he is.

Although if she proves to be a problem in my plans, I can't deny the fact I will find a way to kill, but for now I think I may have a use for her.

For now she may become my key of releasing Etro from her eternal tomb.

For Etro I would become her personal knight, even though in the eyes of society I am just a mere priest.
