Achaean News
To the Leaders of the Church

I find it mildly amusing that the organization which preaches Love and
Righteousness, does not preach tolerance. Gods above forbid that one of
your own actually falls in love with someone different than you. Surely,
this devil woman they call Shakti will lead him to Evil and Chaos and
will contaminate his soul to the core and lead him directly to the realm
of Sartan. Surely, she will use him as a spy for all Church activities
and will use him to infiltrate her Chaos into the very essence (or,
excuse me, Devotion) of the Church. Surely, since you cannot trust her,
you cannot trust anyone who she even looks upon.
For all your foolishness and corrupted ways, you always find a way to
amaze me. This time, however, you've crossed the line of being amusing.
Though I do not know Verlaine, I do know Love. My Love is my husband,
who once was faced with a difficult decision himself. I know a few of
you in the Church leadership are married, and it leads me to wonder what
you would have done, had it been any other way. What if tomorrow the one
you love most in the world, becomes the very person you are supposed to
hate? Could you do it? Would you stand by them, or would you have
nothing more to do with them? You may say one thing, my dear Churchies,
but I know you are thinking another.
For your sins, I hope all of you face the very same decision and
persecution that Verlaine faced for loving Shakti. Love is innocent, you
see. It harms nothing. It wants for nothing. Love is sufficent unto
Love. Therefore, for that which you have attempted to destroy, I hope it
comes back on your heads times three. I hope you will know the pain of
having to choose, and the agony of knowing you will lose one if you do
not give up the other. And I hope, like Verlaine, that you will make the
right choice, and know that life isn't about fighting the Good fight or
fighting the Evil fight or fighting the Chaotic fight. I hope you will
know that life is who you love, and who loves you.
