Devon glares at the dwarf who stands in front of him

"you know, if you wanted to talk, you could have just said so… my head still aches"

The dwarf chuckles

"unfortunately, you're not here because of me"

The metal door creaks as it is thrown open and a priest and a lady step into the cell

"devon laire, do you have anything you wish to say before we commence?" the priest asks

"is it raining? "

"huh?"

"is it raining? i think it's raining, but i can't say for sure"

The dwarf chuckles to himself as the priest glares at devon

..l ; "am i?"

The priest gestures and the dwarf punches devon

Health -5

"we have matters to attend to, devon " the lady says

"so did i, till i was kidnapped, which one of you do i have to thank for that" devon says and the priest narrows his eyes

"as a citizen ,you should understand" the lady says frowning

"so uh are you two 'the council' " devon says and smiles

"the rest of the council are too busy to be here with us" lady merril says

"oh, so you guys drew the short straw??"

"we don't have time for this" lady merril says and narrows her eyes

"devon laire, you led a revolt in an orphanage leading to the death of two nuns, five orphans and the escape of twenty one orphans, what do you have to say for yourself?" the priest narrows his eyes

"well, first of all; thank your god you said 'escape', that place was a prison; no, worse… secondly, the nuns deserved to die, the five orphans , were a mistake… and the twenty one that escaped, i hope they're all okay… "

"is that all?"

"not quite, do you know what was going on in those hellholes you called orphanages, the children when mature were sold as slaves…"

"how do you expect the orphanage to run without funds?" lady merril says interrupting devon

"really? You are okay with the fact that children are being sold as slaves?"

"yes"

Devon narrows his eyes at her

"although we cannot return you to the orphanage, you have a debt to pay, you will either be sold as a slave or work to pay that debt" the priest says

"unfortunately, we cannot execute you for murder because apparently you put your life on the line to defend the walls, and so you will be spared" he continues

"do you understand?"

"hmmm" devon strokes his chin

"are you daft too?" lady merril says

"nope, just in huge debt" devon says

"at least you got something" the priest says and the lady exhales, and they both turn to leave

"wait! Hold up!" devon calls

"what?" the priest says turning

" are you one of the priest of nanna?"

"why, yes"

"i met one of you guys on the road here"

"really?"

"yeah, finn"

"that hypocrite" the priest says and clicks his tongue in annoyance

"huh?"

"he was a theif, a lier, a deciever"

Devon opens his mouth to say something but closes it when he realizes the dwarf is still beside him

"make no mistake, he is no longer one of us" the priest spits

"once he gets here. I shall releive him of his priesthood" he continues

"he's dead"

"one of his parlour tricks"

"he died, i saw him die"

"well, he deserved to die..."

The priest says and walks away

"what was that about?" devon says to himself

The dwarf shrugs and sighs

"priests"

"yeah …"
