I like totally just noticed that I had the Captain with two different names, it really is Charis, where Lionel came from, I'll never know. Thank you for your patience as I find a way to write what I want how I want it.
Chapter Two
"We weren't sure, not until the next morning, and we realized that he had never removed his amulet."
"I had her Confess me with it off. It worked, as soon as she had me put it back on, the effects of her Confession wore off. She could no longer control me."
"Did Darken Rahl give you that pendant?" Zedd asked as his eyebrows furrowed.
"No, my sister did."
"She was a sorceress?"
"No. She was a Priestess of the Creator. And born with the powers of a Confessor."
"She must have found a spell that would protect those she cared for against even her powers. Your mother was a Confessor?"
At this, Charis looked at Emmalyne, having a conversation with their eyes. At her nod, he responded.
"It was my father that carried the powers of a Confessor. My mother had been an acolyte for the Warrior."
"Male Confessors are rare. They are always..." Khalan trailed off as he stood and walked over to a shelf and returned with a book bound in a unusual white cloth.
"This is the journal that belonged to the first Confessor, Kardin. Who was a man."
"That's impossible! The archives-"
"Were destroyed and rewritten by those that stole the powers of Confession from those that were born with them."
"A friend, sorcerer second class, told me that these journals were spelled so that only the truth may be written on their pages."
