Summary: A Discussion of an Execution | |||||||

Noria walks along with a couple of novices all dressed in their white. The guards follow at a decent distance. Noria stops and looks at each of the booths. She buy s and hands off the items. She visits with some of the merchants.
Moshe is heading towards the temple, with him two other knights riding horses beside him as he rides his own. He looks determined and he looks like he is on a mission. It takes him a moment, just a brief moment to look about and find the High Onis and he slows down. Eventually he comes to a full stop and he starts to head on towards the high Onis. His reigns in hand, he hands it off to another knight and he approaches her.
The people part of the Knights. Although it is a normal part of city life, most people turns to stare. It is something to see and the High Oni does as well. She stops, the novices all stand with their eyes lowered although Noria is sure that they peek. She knows she would. When she realizes that she is being approached she steps forward and waits.
Moshe looks to the Onis as she is waiting for him now and as he approaches her, he bows and down to one knee as he looks to the ground. " High Onis, I am Sir Moshe Machuri. I am here on behalf of the Queen to speak to you about certain matters of the state." he says this in the most formal way he can muster.
Noria lays her hand on his head. "Rise Sir Moshe Machuri" she steps back and looks him over. There are no secrets. She know about what he is wanting. "come, walk with me" She looks at the novices, "Have the guards escort you back to the convent. I will be there shortly." The girls in white bow and then with giggles and peeks at the Knights They head back to the Guardians. "I hope you have been well?"
At her words Moshe stands up and then looks around, waiting until she starts to walk and had ordered the girls away. He walks with her and hmms. " I have been well, though I have not come to the temple as much as I have desired but duty calls and the Queen demands. Have you been if I may ask?" respect, trained well the man has been.
Noria clasps her hands behind her as they walk. "I have been busy, Church Business never ends. But I am well and so blessed be" She nods to people she knows or to those who genuflect. But her mind is on their conversation.
Moshe looks towards her as they walk along and then nods. " Special with what has happened. I understand ." then as they continue to walk along. " The priestess is guilty of treason, she confessed to me. That is enough for me the confession and as per the Queens and suggestion, I am to bring this news to you. High Onis." he keeps it calm, he can explain the details of his findings but it will be in a more private location, when they discuss the day of execution.
Noria nods, "I was afraid of that. I think everyone should be allowed to worship who ever they want. and i work towards the laws being lightened and then they do something like this and all my work is for naught." She sighs and shrugs, "Well in that case, It was knowingly done" She grows quiet. "When do you think is a good day to finish this?" they continue to walk leaving the market for the road towards the convent.
Moshe looks to her, his eyes watching her as she speaks and then nods slowly. " High Onis, it was deliberate and intentional, out of her own words, trying to undermined the Word of Onimoria." he sighs and then thinks. " The Queen wants results as quickly as possible. So the sooner the better , so they know what they have done, what they deserve for this treason." he says this with determination, one that shows he follows this religion to his death if need be.
Noria stops and makes sure no one is close enough to over hear their conversation. "the legal punishment for treason is a quick death. but for this. i think she should be quartered. Do you know what that is? it is not used often. and 10 of the thirty will be done the same way. What say you?"
Moshe looks to her and then nods at her suggestion and then speaks low. "Yes, that is what she deserves and ten of her followers. I agree to it but in the end, you say the punishment, I am to bring them to you . It has to be a public display, for all to see that treason is dealt with harshly."
Noria lifts her hands and face to the sky, Her eyes are closed in Solemn prayer. When she opens them she looks at Mosche. "The Onimoria agrees with the determination. As it is written we must obey. This should be done in the amphitheatre. As soon as possible. and yet it must be advertised. We want no one to say this was hidden. When is the soonest possible date? I will be available for this no matter when.
Moshe watches as she does a player and as she does he does bow his head also, respecting her moment as well as the prayer. After that moment he looks back to her and then nods with a stern look. " Then it shall be so, announcement will be said. Tomorrow is the earliest. So I will let all know by announcements and tell the Queen herself. I am expecting many to show, this will be good for the glory of Onimoria."
Noria nods at his remarks. "Go and get started. I will meet you at the amphitheatre tomorrow. There is a ceremony that must be preformed tonight. and then one tomorrow at the amphitheatre before the executions. Make sure there are enough guardians and horses."
Moshe bows his head and at the waist towards her and then straightens up. " It shall be done, there will be enough horses and men to have this done properly. Thank you once again for hearing me and your task ahead. You have the blessing but it is hard on people , good day until tomorrow." as he bows his head again and turns and walks away, getting back on his horse and soon is riding away.
Noria stands for a long time watching the road where the Knights road away. Her thoughts sad and horrific that she is even thinking about this. But Her will be done. Slowly she turns and heads into the convent.
