Named
Journal of Mother- 1287
Azrael threw a fit today and punched Imhael. I sent him to his room and had Sister Mal take Imhael to the Raphael to get healed up. When I spoke to Azrael he told me something that I had been expecting since I was given my title. He is scared and angry. Someone told him what his Tasks might be. He asked me if I could take the Name back. Bawled for what seemed like hours when I told him no. I know its The Gate's duty but that doesn't do much to console a small boy afraid for a future he didn't choose. I seek comfort in the knowledge that he would have had a future at all, not with how tiny and starving he was when I put him in the room. Not one babe has died of hunger or sick once placed there, no matter how weak. I made the choice for him and I will teach him how to bear his burden.Qualifications
