Title: Peace
Prompt: Peace on Earth, and Good will towards men
"Peace throughout the world and goodwill to all men!"
A sentiment espoused by the Sisters of the Light, amongst others. A worldview they wished everyone would follow all the year round, but, failing that, they made an effort to remind people of this credo at the Winter Solstice. Darken supposed it was something to do with the worry over the cold weather and the darkness and the general decline in foodstuffs. Religions relied upon keeping people fearful and subservient and there was nothing like the threat of impending doom from starvation or hypothermia to get people terrified, penitent, and, as a result, obedient.
The Sister who'd so foolishly dared to approach him and throw this phrase in his face had been dealt with, of course. What she hadn't realised was that peace was what he had always strived for, in his own way. He sought to eliminate conflict, from petty squabbles to ridiculous rivalries.
Once he held the power of Orden in his hands, only peace and goodwill would (could) exist, for everyone would serve him. And all would be right with the world.
