Bellena arrived in the early hours of the morning at the church before the sun had fully risen. She hoped to find the padre before the bulk of his work would make him busy later in the day. She walked through the halls slowly and quietly and arrived at the Padre's door... Making her presence known with a knock if circumstances would allow.

"He's not here, Donna Bellena. He has prayed all night. I tried to convince him to walk out for a moment to eat but he insisted on the matins." She sniffled, and her eyes carried shades. "I think he is... fasting.... Mortifying." She had walked out of her cell with a bucket of water. "He handed me the breviary to study."

"Where is he Agata? I need to speak with him. It's a matter of importance to him..." She replied.

"By the altar, speaking to Her." She said, not being able to hold a sob.

Bellena put her hand on the young woman's shoulder and offered a reassuring nod. "It will be alright. Kharsis is with us my dear."

She smiled in a reserved fashion before setting out to the altar to find the Padre....

Alvaro lay prostrated before the altar, whispering prayers, the rosary gripped in one of his outstretched hands.

"Ave Kharsis, misericordia plena,
Caelus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedíctus sacrificium tua.
Sacratissima Kharsis, Filiae Caeli,
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae."

She came up gently behind the man knelt down beside him. Putting a hand on his shoulder she spoke softly, "You're not planning on leaving us just yet are you Padre?"

He finished the prayer before replying.

"It's not a thing for me to plan, my daughter, but to prepare for."

She nodded and smiled gently, "Our time is never fully in our hands... I could understand Kharsis wanting to take you home, but you are still very important to us here. I hope you'll still have many days more to prepare."

"So you say, Rosa. But how much of it is in you not being ready to give up what gives you safety? Safety is the opposite of sacrifice. Being merciful and sheltered don't go well together, my child." He said quietly, without judgement or reproof.

She nodded, “I try to put myself out there... try and extend myself to help others. I think there’s a part of me that still wants to rely on the goodness of my Padre from time to time... but I am also pleased that he trusts me enough to entrust me with responsibility. I just wish I had his wisdom and experience to aid me... even if I know I won’t someday.

"The moment we start believing we're irreplaceable is the moment the depths open to us. We're meant to bring some goodness into this world, but the world will find its own way. Porque cualquiera que se ensalza, será humillado; y el que se humilla, será ensalzado."

She nodded thoughtfully taking a few moments to think on the words he had shared.

She breathed slowly and asked, "I was wondering if you would share a bit of your experiences with me Padre... the document you showed me yesterday also had your name on it... and while it speaks many things on its own... I was hoping you could offer some context to it as well."

He turned silent, then made her wait as he was finishing the rosary. Minutes were changing into quarters...

[Willpower/Etiquette (Courtesy) +Faith vs. TN20 to show piety and wait patiently.]

The old priest finally finished the prayer. Weakly, he called for her.

"Please help me rise, my daughter."

Bellena stood and helped him rise.

He moved with her to the church bench and flopped into it, kneeling.

"So you want to ask more questions. is it because you want to use the knowledge?"

If I can to help save others... then yes. And if not, then to safeguard it.” She replied as she helped him along.

"It's best safeguarded if it is forgotten. You might be excusing a self-serving thirst to know secrets of others by ascribing noble intentions to it... But I am not as worldly a man as you are. Is there a way to save anyone with an information like this without hurting many, many more?"
