Passage 1: A new day

Blue Note was in deep thought.

He was preparing for church because of a rumor of a priest with magic powers, he wondered if this man might be reasoned with. If not, he had his sword.

He walked through the streets of Burgesta, a fairly new major city in Italy where this priest was located. Usually it was crowded, but at night, things calmed down.

Looking up at the moon, Blue Note went over his plan.

<1. Lock the door from the outside, 2. Sneak In using the windows in the confessions booths, 3. Wait for a clearing and then make for the alter, 4. Wait for the priest>

Even in this state of thinking though, he noticed the beauty of the night. The sky was perfectly clear, showing all the stars perfectly to anyone that would look.

He was closing in on the Church, so he took out a powerful magnet and used it to trick the magnetic lock on the hightec door.

He then made for the window, and got himself in, all that was left now was to wait for his company.

Zeek was not happy at the moment. He now was brewing over a conflict of intrest. On the one hand, he was an odrained priest. It was truely remarkable because, he was the highest member in the order who didn't posses the gift of miracles. Even though he never had this gift he was highly respected for his devotion to the church. But now, not only was he having inner turmoil against the recent conflicts occurring on the holy orders behalf. But, he also had recently healed a man that had been prenounced dead by the other parishes. No one, not even his supperiors, had that kind of a gift, The only explaination would surely be viewed as magic, and he, a heretic. His only option was to somehow hide the truth from the others long enough to reach retirement.

Yeah, only 50 more years of service to go. He thought sarcastically. At the moment, he was headed towards his alter. Maybe to meet a few people, or consolidate himself. He knew very few would be there at this time of night and maybe he could think in private.

As he walked down the hall he noticed a few of his fellow brothers and gave them quick greetings of "How are you?" and "Many fine days to you." All the time his troubled mind toiled away. Eventually he entered the sermon roomand approached the pulpit. Finally, I can calm my nerves.

Blue Note came out of the shadow behind Zeek.

"Nice night, Isn't father."

His voice was calm, and soft as always.

He had his hands and arms hidden by his cloak, with neither on his weapons, he could draw them quick enough if needed.

Zeek soun around in shock, grabbing the pulpit for support. "Who are you and why are you sneaking up on a holy father?"

"I'm called Blue Note, but most importantly, I am a friend."

He was walking around the room now, only half paying attention to his company.

Zeek decided it would be best to hold his position as he watched his guest circle the room. "What exactly do you mean by a friend?" He asked in a slightly nervous manner.

"You don't recognize me, I am quit famous these days."

He bowed towards Zeek, sweeping his right hand off to the left.

"Dear God," Zeek exclaimed as he grasped his own heart. "It's you. Blue Note!"

"Now you've caught on. But we have to be quick, you could be almost as hated be Johas as me soon. If word of a magic wielding priest come about, it would ruin him."

He was at first looking to the side, and he then looked at Zeek.

"Not that I dislike that outcome, but I'd hate to think of you dieing."

"Wait just a moment." Said Zeek with a bit more air in his voice this time. "How did you know of my secret?"
