A prayer Without Hands

Aren is a knight who fears one thing more than death—doing wrong. In a world shaped by conflict, where every decision carries consequence, he chooses restraint. Silence. Distance. He convinces himself that by avoiding action, he can preserve something pure within him. But the world does not wait for certainty. When his hesitation leads to loss—lives that could have been saved, harm that could have been prevented—Aren is forced to confront a truth he has long avoided: Good intentions do not protect others. Guided by a perceptive commander, a quiet but unwavering companion, and a king who sees through every excuse, Aren begins a journey not of strength—but of responsibility. To act. To choose. To carry the weight of consequence. As battles intensify and choices grow harsher, Aren must face the ultimate question: If every action risks being wrong… is doing nothing ever right? A Prayer Without Hands is a story of faith, responsibility, and the dangerous comfort of inaction—where true devotion is not found in stillness, but in the courage to act. ---------- DISCLAIMER : Hey!
