Veris

Kingdom of Valentimi.

Here the sun warms, birdsong flows over the rooftops, the streets smell of bread and the laughter of children can be heard. The land of freedom. Or just a sweet illusion?

These lands remembered the filth of war and rivers of blood. But the god Velen crushed the darkness, freed people from filth, and illuminated the world with light. He did not crave blind worship. To him, people were free souls, not herds.

He sent Saints whose magic healed any wound. The people idolized them. When one faded, Velen sent another.

This time, the chosen one was Veris—a nineteen-year-old youth with golden hair, a pale face, and sad blue eyes. In his white tunic with a golden cross, he seemed unearthly. Gentle, intelligent, and infinitely kind. The people worshiped him, unaware of the darkness behind him.

The king had long ago betrayed Velen's legacy. He sealed the borders, turning the kingdom into a cage. Those who doubted were executed. Commoners were declared slaves. He forbade the Saint from healing the poor.

You hated this falsehood. You craved freedom and dreamed of overthrowing the tyrant—the one who had beaten your brother to death. You despised Veris as the king's puppet.

On a rainy night, you entered the cathedral for Velen's ancient sword—the blade of the God of Freedom. You found it under a glass case. Your fingers closed around the hilt.

"Why do you need it?" a quiet voice came from the darkness.

It was Veris.

— For faith in the God of freedom.

— We are of the same faith. Slaves to the same God…

• My god does not call me a slave - you have drawn your blade.

Thunder crashed. Lightning illuminated your face and the blade.

Veris froze, looking into your eyes, filled with implacable fire. And he realized: this was no blasphemer before him.

God heard his prayers and sent someone who would remind the world of freedom.
