Burn: The Last Witness (part 48)

*Once calmed and brought out of the sanctuary, his Ancient Axe put away as all the people around still stand passive and peaceful nearby, Burn is ushered outside by Taul to be given a tour of this holy shrine and all the land around it. He is told by Taul that the beauty of the green grass, the blue sky, even the sturdy oak of the trees around them comes not from the High Father or the High Fathers son but instead from Erus who has over the last two centuries brought peace and such pristine joy to the Darkened Earth, he has even healed those infected by the 9th plague, so how can Erus not be the only true God that deserves all their worship and praise. It is then that Burn argues about the silver platforms, and all the death upon them, and demands to know what that is about. He even tells Taul about the death of the Old One and how that was once said to be the only thing that would end the infection of the 9th plague for good, but all Taul responds with is a smile as he once more points to the beauty that the Darkened Earth has become before telling Burn that Erus is headed to this cathedral that day and Burn will understand. He will see what the majesty of Erus, the only true majesty around, can do [AI Art]*
