Murmurs turn to gasps as one of the Angelites unfurls a wicked looking cord, multi-laced in dangling strings wrapped in jagged seashell and scraped glasswork. It is an evil-looking tool, an instrument designed to inflict hurt and suffering rather than simply compel obedience. While the local onlookers merely seem confused, the pilgrims know full well what is about to occur. Mikail begins to move your way, eyes wide in alarm, but the strong arm of Brother Rousseau laid upon his shoulder. This is not for them. Others also voice a hushed protest at the wanton barbarity, pressing forward to discourage this course of action. They are turned aside by the stone-faced Comitas knights present. You have the Chapter Master’s permission for this display on the Cainite section of the Long Walk, if not his blessing.
You close your eyes and whisper a silent prayer to the Almighty for strength, giving thanks that by your arrangement your companions are spared any part in this grim duty. You would not ask this of them. Father Towbray, Brother Joab and Brother Caleb, as well as a new addition in Brother Isaac. The four Angelites, faithful and righteous men, cannot bring it upon themselves to lash one they revere with the same sadism and malice of the four slaver guards than gleefully whipped Cain every step of the way to the Cross. None seem happy with the duty before them, to inflict pain on one they revere. But they will not shirk from it.
