Children of the Nameless - Magic Story Novella
ToastChi for Rom
Rom is an old hunter and priest of the Church. He's hunted demons, werewolves, and when they went mad, angels. He moved out to the Approaches to get away from all that, but he remains troubled. He's a cheerful and friendly fellow, only saddening when certain troubling topics are brought up. Through it all, he remains hopeful.
“Here now! Away from there, child! What is wrong? Why aren’t you at Verlasen, singing?”
“You mistake me. I was pleased to find it. After Avacyn’s betrayal, finding news of another angel who still loved her people...well, it gave me hope. Hope that even a crusty, bloodstained hunter like me might be able to find peace.” [the last sentence should turn sad and troubled, like that hope was not in fact correct]
“Well, that was right bravely done, Miss Tacenda! I could have told you it would be useless, but my, stabbing the Man himself? The Bog must be right proud of you!”
