[†]Habakkuk 1:2-4
O Lord, how long shall I cry, and Thou wilt not hear! Even cry out unto Thee of violence, and Thou wilt not save!
Why dost Thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold injustice? Why dost Thou tolerate wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds.
Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice doth not prevail: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.[†]

The threshold was charred, the back window was shattered, and the back pews, carpet, and tapestries were blackened, yet there was nothing that could not be saved and refurbished. Escaping by the skin of their necks was the only thing he was grateful for--Whilst the other 90% of himself was seething at the lack of judgment.
In Maxwell's quavering hand was fisted the 30 silver coins he had used to pay the Pope's ransom. He snarled as the livid hatred boiled up in him and tossed the shimmering coinage into the middle of the temple.[☨]
There is no justice, Lord! None! I do not believe a single solitary soul can even fathom it in this misbegotten place!

Madam Lilith... Might I request an audience with you?

Madam Lilith... Might I request an audience with you?
Action!
Date: 2010-07-04 02:43 am (UTC)[There's a little white figure hovering around near the door frame]
No one in Ireland is able to stop them. Not even the wall did it. At least the church is still up.
Action!
Date: 2010-07-04 02:51 am (UTC)I suppose those heathens just cannot help themselves, hm? Yes, it's in their filthy blood to pillage and burn and ransack and desecrate and destroy whatever it is they touch!
[He caught himself before his voice echoed too loudly across the auditorium, and let his back fall against the stone wall near her.]
Yet... this is God's fortress. It is made to stand the tests of time. No barbarian can hope to thwart that.
Action!
Date: 2010-07-04 02:58 am (UTC)They've never been any different. I hoped they'd crashed at Iona, but they made it all the way to the mainland.
And now they're here too.
[A pause]
... Because you can't burn an idea.
Action!

This was her only reminder of home. Her real home. Or at least it was.
Clutching the Nail of Helena between her two hands given to her by the Archbishop, being careful to avoid the sharp tip, she bit her lip and tried to keep herself together the best that she could. She wasn't going to let herself be seen crying.]

Date: 2010-07-04 03:18 am (UTC)Worn from the inside out, he let his gaze pan to the source of that benign quietude. And there she was. He saw not the shine of the pristine relic in her hands, but the glass of her doll-like eyes, laced with a sympathy only something from above could bestow upon a despicable man like him.]
Angelina...
This icon has multiple uses!
Date: 2010-07-04 05:49 am (UTC)Stopping less than a foot away from the Archbishop, the winged girl carefully presented the Nail of Helena to him with both hands. Safe and sound.]
Oh God what is she reaching for!?

From:... I leave for two weeks and the church is gone? what's this mess.
Date: 2010-07-04 06:28 pm (UTC)She looks positively mortified, seeing as how two weeks ago this place was...well, in tact.]
...What happened? [She murmurs to herself as she takes in the damage, not exactly wanting to interrupt Maxwell's tantrum, as it were.]
It's still there, just the foyer was burned 8)
Date: 2010-07-04 10:10 pm (UTC)Ah? You did not hear, Signorina? The church was attacked by a nasty little would-be viking.
Iscariot's efforts against him allowed this house to remain relatively intact.

Date: 2010-07-04 10:22 pm (UTC)She nearly jumps from the sudden voice, turning quickly to regard the ma behind her. Offering that ever-nervous smile, she shakes her head, hands clasping together in front of her.]
N-no, I didn'... [She wasn't going to mention she'd been camping out in her coffin for the past two weeks.]
A-at least th'majority of th'church is still t'gether. ...No one was hurt, righ'?
