Clearly these men were unimpressed, and even the notion of ‘trouble’ which to them clearly seemed to meant retaliation by the Takigakure seemed to excite them. ”Let them, let them come. We will burn them all for the glory of Astur. And once we are done a new world will dawn upon His flock, free of impurity, free from the rule of those who have no right to rule other than by birth. A world of peace and harmony, free of the discord of them who wish to rule those they have no business ruling over. Free from the shinobi and the chakra users, men and women who only profit by continuing war, lest their well of money dry up. We lady, are but the vanguard of the new peaceful world, all united under heaven.” The monk shrugged and walked to the door. ”Oh well, you already admitted to being a chakra user so this ends our discussion.” He spoke, knocking on the door. The door opened and two guards appeared, once again bearing the sasumata that they would lock around your neck as one of the monks would pry and open the collar around your neck, disconnecting you from the wall.
With a wry and sadistic smile around his face the inquisitor who had knocked on the door now leaned against the wall next to it. ”For the crime of impurity, you are sentenced to death. No food or water shall be provided to you as your rights are suspended under ecclesial law. Two days from hence you shall be removed from your place of imprisonment and moved to the Square of Holy Fire, to be burned at the stake. Your habeas corpus is suspended as is your right to an appeal. You will be allowed to dictate your will the night prior to your cleansing. May Astur have mercy on you.” He said as the guards would try to navigate you out of the cell, only to throw you directly into a cell opposite to the interrogation room, the distance crossed would barely be three steps as they would try to push you inside, before quickly retracting their weapons and closing the door behind you with a loud thud. Once again a place that was dimly lit through the lack of actual windows, only a small, barred arrow slit provided any source for outside light to filter inside. This room too was lined with the deep green stone on the floor, ceiling and wall. Except for a heap of straw in one corner the small cell, only four by four meters in size was bare. On the straw sat a man, unremarkable in many ways. He had wrapped his feet in rags as he seemed to lack any socks. His left hand missed his little and ring finger, clearly recently cut off and cauterized. His hair was a mess of auburn locks that were twisted and turned in various ways due to the lack of washing. On his face the similarly coloured hair covered his front up to halfway his chest. Clearly you could see though that this man had once been a fighter as under his alabaster skin his muscles still rippled. He looked up at you with a smile that once could have been considered handsome, but his cracked and parched lips made his face less desire able to look at than it probably used to have been. The stench of unwashed body mingled with another stench emanating from a bucket near the door (better not inspect that one) filled the tiny practically unventilated cell.
The man looked up at you, his voice a whisper. ”They left your manacles on? Come here, I know how to get rid of those.” he said, raising his right hand to his mouth and releasing a small cough, coughing up what was clearly a lockpick and a torsion wrench into his hand. Never mind who this guy was! He had the goodies! ”I heard it all, impurity ey? Same as me. Tough day.” Between his beard and scalp two defiant green eyes would look up at you. ”So chakra ey? How is your Doton?”
