The Diary of Niketas - 3

The stained parchment of this tattered book is in poor condition, almost as if someone started to destroy it, but then reconsidered.

“Prayerday 11 - Ye the truth was revealed in a tavern, and deceit fell like shales from my eyes as I heard the words of Petrae from the mouth of this drunken, self-pitying apostate. Snivelling like a rat, he told me of his Order's faith, which had proven too demanding for his spirit. He had been an Inquisitor, he said, and was now nothing. Yet just as he foreswore his fealty, I felt the truth of his Order's creed take root in my soul.”
