Travellers
“We humbly request that you return with us to take your rightful place as the ruler of our organisation.”, The Cardinal 4 declared boldly, no hint of sarcasm present whatsoever.
“Huh?”, I was left dumbfounded by the sudden proposition by the leader of the men dressed in black.
“Excuse my impertinence.”, He straightened his back, folded his arms behind his back, and avoided direct eye contact with me like a nervous subordinate. “I am Cardinal 4 of the Vermillion Restoration Army.”
‘The Vermillion what now?’, There that name went again. This Vermillion bastard really went and left all of her troubles on me.
“Don’t listen to him. That’s the uniform of Dark Church cultists. He’s a liar!”, Marcus called out the cardinal’s claims.
‘Dark Church?’
“The Dark Church is a false name, originally meant to throw off organisations that were against our cause. Unfortunately, it somehow became… our name.”, The cardinal explained, sounding a bit embarrassed towards the end.
