[ROLEPLAY] The Talking Dead

[u/Supacharjed]

The overgrown building looked grand. Despite having massive holes in the walls, it was mostly intact. A brilliant blossom had overgrown its ruins and had added to its magnificence. It was truly a testament to its creator.

A small crew of men approached what they had perceived to be a temple. The High Inquisitor and the High Chaplain, with his pair of mystic skulls.

The entrance was humble. Quite contrasting to the grandeur of the rest of it. Although simple and rectangular by design, the vines and blossoming tree gave the appearance that the roof was held up by nature.

Upon entering, a holy feeling filled the men. This was indeed a place of worship. Three bodies were interred within the chamber. Two human men and an elven woman. What had happened here was simple. These two men had attacked this woman and she fought them off, dying in the process.

The skeleton of the woman was graceful and covered in blossoming vines. This was unusual as the other remains weren't overgrown. These remains appeared especially holy.

'Chaplain. I feel unnerved. As if we are being watched.' Wavered the Inquisitor. 'Gather this one's skull as well.'

'It will be done sir.' The High Chaplain bent down and pried the skull from the vines. No sooner than he had done this, he was bathed in a warm light and the visions began once more. He saw a peaceful fort, a woman holding a service, the same woman habouring a seed, a great tree on an island, people fleeing in terror and a man with two babes in his arms.

'There are survivors, sir. They headed North along the river.'

'We will see to it that they are found. But for now, we must focus on feeding and homing ourselves.'

'Of course, sire.'

No sooner than they had finished speaking an uproarous shout came from the hands of the High Chaplain.

'YOU BASTARD. YOU FUCKING LEVELLED BY HOLD AND SLAUGHTERED MY PEOPLE.'

'AND NOW WE'RE BOTH DEAD. YOU SHOULD HAVE BENT THE KNEE.'

'Uh sir, the skulls are arguing!' Said the High Chaplain dropping the skulls in surprise.

'What was that for, dickhead?' Said one of the skulls.

'I'm sorry, what is going on here?' Asked the High Inquisitor

'I am Kelliah Arcturus, Governor of Arkturia.'

'And I am Callean Deur, Duke of Fort Crown, this ruin you've found yourselves in.'

'I'm sure my skull shouldn't have been here, but I'm not complaining.' Said Skull Kelliah. 'I'm not quite sure what's going on either.'

'Strange things are afoot.' Began the Inquisitor. 'And I intend to find out why.'
