Day 29: Chapel

Hiei didn't give a damn about religious services, meditation, or pretending to be social. The always sudden waking after night put him in a bad mood, this one particularly so. Even with Kurikara licking him like some perverted moron, the warmth the dragon provided was welcome in Hiei's bed, and missing when he woke, giving the surrounding air a greater sense of chill.

But the perfect thing to relieve his anger might just be making an appearance that morning, and that at least gave Hiei hope for a decent day.

Hopefully Kurikara and Kurama both would be clever enough to figure it out for themselves. Without hesitation, Hiei demanded to be led to the temple, taking a seat in one of the rear pews. Humans had a way of overdoing things, and this place wasn't really much exception to that. Granted Hiei's limited knowledge prevented him from realizing there were much more outrageous churches, but to the demon, the colored pieces of glass and polished wood seemed to be much.

It didn't matter, however. Either could be turned into weapons, perfect objects to slice into that damned head doctor's throat or bash in his skull. That was a thought worth grinning about.



[Feel free to pester. Just, uh, be aware that he's not exactly nice.]

"An absurd idea, but one that easily sways the masses," Kratos said quietly. "Religion has the power to infiltrate all levels of society, naturally leading some to use it as a tool for control." People would easily believe in something if it explained things that their mind could not- it was rather pathetic, really. He supposed it only lent more weight to the saying "Knowledge is power."

Then of course there was the matter of fate, and while Kratos didn't believe in any sort of god or goddess, he most certainly believed in fate, closely related though the two were. However, since his arrival at Landel's, he had felt that belief begin to wane...

"I take it you have no experience with chapels, then?" Kratos asked nonchalantly.

"Not quite." Scar admitted, again not seeing the sense in lying about something he had no knowledge of.

"There happens to be a distinct lack of them in my world." What they did have in the Pride Lands? Rocks and grass.

"Perhaps it's for the better," Kratos replied. "I have never seen anything good come of a religion...at least not the one I was involved in" Yes there had been some bright spots to the Church of Martel, but on a whole the entire thing had merely been a well-constructed scam.
