The winds swept
through the fridged temple of paladine as Aedon knelt on
the
flagstones. The metal of the symbol of paladine was freezing to
his
skin, but still he knelt, relishing the pain for his God.


From the temple, a priest watched him, slowly shaking his head.
Aedon's
worship boarderd on fanatisism. He had once beat a fellow
acolyte because of
a dissenting opinion of sacred texts. The
priest walked out to Aedon. 

"My son. Day after day, you have
tormented yourself. And why? Paladine does
not require such
pain-laden devotion."

Aedon didn't even look up.

"But I
require it, Father." 

The priest sighed, looking down at
Aedon, kneeling in the snow. 

"My son, why do you seek such
violence in Paladine's service? surely a life
of healing would
better suit the Gods needs?"

Aedon seemed to flinch at the
words, although he did not move. 

"There are many who are
called to violence by our enemies, Father. Paladine
has called me
to right the balance somewhat. The fact that many others
serve
him by healing is of no consequence to my actions."

The
priest looked out over the fresh snow that coated the
grounds.

"And you will not be convinced that your path is
contrary to what is right?"


Aedon stared straight
ahead.

"No father."

The Priest sighed, and walked back into
the temple. Outside, Aedon continued
to kneel in the snow.
