I rolled a 5 but Hiroshi doesn't really know Ben he just has knowledge heiswithinyou November 17 2011, 01:54:04 UTC

And there stands a young boy, Asian in descent. About his one wrist is a rosary, wrapped tightly. He's just a human in body; but the sainthood about him just radiates. He's very careful approaching, but not afraid.

"Please, allow me to aid."

Cool beans! werewolf_hacker November 17 2011, 02:04:17 UTC

[The sigil on his chest means that demons can't kill him directly.

Killing him indirectly, however, is a different story altogether. They've had him for weeks, giving him barely enough water to torment him and no food at all. He's skin and bones, sprawled in an alley, and dying. His voice is a bare rasp.] I don't... who are you.

He quietly comes to his knees beside Ben. So much pain. It almost overwhelmed him but he could endure it. He had certainly endured worse.

"I am just a man." His voice is soft and kind but there is a sharpness to it. A certainty. "My name is Hiroshi."

Ben. [He swallows painfully, although there's nothing there to swallow.] Going Home, I think. Finally.

heiswithinyou November 17 2011, 02:31:51 UTC

"I do serve our Father," he speaks thoughtfully after a moment. "Would you like me to prepare your body for passing into His kingdom?"

werewolf_hacker November 17 2011, 02:52:55 UTC

I'm ready. As long as. It won't hurt. [The marks of demonic torture decorate his body, new scars covering the old.]

Been hurt. Enough.

"Please lay back," Hiroshi remains calm and gentle. "I will call upon your brothers to aid this wounded body before as it travels to Him."

There's a moment of quiet. "Would you like me to pass a message to your loved ones before we begin?"

werewolf_hacker November 17 2011, 03:12:59 UTC

[Ben huffs out a laugh at the "please lay back," like he can do anything else.] Tell my wife. I love her. And my Pack. I'll miss them.

A bitterness is only natural. It phases the man none. He merely smiles with such serenity as he guides the other down to rest.

"It will be done," the priest speaks. "Please know that He has not abandoned you."

Hiroshi takes from his pockets Holy water and bessed oil. "It may seem as He has and though your sufferings are unsightly, He will always love you. So please rest now in knowing you have done everything you can to fight the good fight."

Kept my faith. Through it all. [Ben shakes his head.] Said I could eat. If I renounced it. Told 'em. To go fuck themselves.

And. Well. [A weak gesture.]

heiswithinyou November 17 2011, 04:15:46 UTC

He took that hand and held it firm as he listened. There would be no doubt in His mind that Ben was faithful and Hiroshi was certain.

"You will be at peace now," he wispers, setting the hand down. "Allow yourself to rest."

He would clean this body with blessed water and cloth and as he did so he would speak in old tongue of aramaic. "Father, please accept this child into your Kingdom. Let his spirit come unto thee and be freed of its burdons as it passes into your Light. Let your everlasting Love reach into him and wash him clean of all his sins for he is a child of you, our LORD."

Thank. You... [And Ben's eyes slide shut. He's just so tired.

He inhales. Exhales...

And doesn't inhale again.

A shining lion bursts into being in the alleyway, roaring. Ben sits up, leaving his body behind, and throws his arms around the lion's neck. The lion purrs at him, swipes a tongue across his hair, and leaps skyward, leaving the broken, scarred body behind on the pavement.

Ben waves down at Hiroshi.] Thank you!

heiswithinyou November 17 2011, 14:23:57 UTC

Hiroshi sits back on his heels as he allows his hands to slide from the body. More than pleased to bless a soldier who died in battle, regardless of the fight he fought.

He watched as that spirit bristled out. Already so full of light for it's journey. A hand rose to wave it goodbye.

"Journey well, friend."
