[QUOTE="mythusmage, post: 402470, member: 571"] [b]John and the Templars[/b] His Holiness awoke to darkness. Yet a darkness he could see clearly in, his room limned as though by some dark light. In that darkness stood a figure. A glowering figure. The Angel of the Lord. The Pope looked upon the dire figure with dread. There was no doubt as to what he saw. There could be none. He knew his enemies would say he was deluded or a fool, but he would know better. He would always know better. As the Angel looked upon him, with eyes that burned with justice, he knew why the Messenger of God had come. He had a job to do. A wrong to atone for. John fell back into sleep. In the morning he would make arrangements. Secure a safe place where his enemies could not find him. Learn where the last of the Knights could be found. The Temple would be restored. His Most Christian Majesty, Philip Roi would face justice. ****** Sir Charl looked in on his ward. The Pope slept quietly again. The good knight went over the events of the last hour. God himself had laid a charge upon the Frenchman. His oath of fealty was now with God himself, the old oath to his former king was finished. He would defend the Pope no matter what else betide. No matter what happened to his soul. In the morning the Pope would die. And while the Church mourned the old Pope and prepared to choose a new, a knight and a cleric would travel to the land of Iberia, the kingdom of Portugal, and there lay the foundations for the return of the Knights of the Temple of Solomon, the Knights Templar. ************ That should give people ideas.:) A corrupt, venal Pope given the aid and protection of the Flowering's first paladin.:D [/QUOTE]
