The Schism

They made you choose you see, you are with us or against us they would say. Either a pawn of the light or heretic renegade. There was no more room for debate, no more room for discussion. Any who did not follow the will of the celestials was a traitor. Brother fought brother. Sister hunted sister. That was the day the light died. That was the day I wept for what we had become. - An Oathbreaker.
