St. Boethius
The Pious Philosopher
St. Jacob kept his cross on hand as the tension rose in the room. He would need a focusing tool if things got out of hand. The living saint scoffed at the child using her family name as if it meant anything to him. Nonetheless his actions were never just his own. He heard the whispers of angels in his ears. ‘Our Lord brought you here not to divide Saint, but to cooperate. Remember, that our Lord’s compassion is unyielding. ‘ St Jacob’s eyes focused back on Amelia. “ Miss Quiton you seem to have misunderstood me... Tell me, what do you see when you look at this group? I see a bunch of children, marred by their own circumstances to be sure, but each deserving of the respect of a child of Shaddai. I also see a team that wouldn’t last a single battle. If this is how they react interesting relative safety how can I trust them with my life on the battlefield!” The Saint jumped out of his seat. “ I’ve buried far too many soliders to play nice with a bunch of amateurs! I’d rather have you hate me for the rest of your lives than bury you.” Divine power was rolling off the Saint in response to his frustration. He had been given his worst nightmare. A bunch of lone wolves and he would have to play the part of the Shepard if they had any hope of survival.
