Althea Orphanides. That was the name of the priestess, the one in the imposing robes who stood beside the Grand Elder. She was a figure of authority to everyone but herself. Inside, she was nothing but a coward. Her guilt isn't clean; it's not the simple guilt of a bystander who merely watched. Her hands are filthy. They helped hold the girl down. They took part in the crucifixion.

So when the Fates came, it wasn't a curse. It was a sentencing. One she had earned with every moment of her silence and every terrible act of obedience. She is a tool now, a living reminder of her own weakness, bound by sheer terror to the very soul she helped destroy. This isn't salvation. It is a penance, and every breath she takes is a mercy she knows she doesn't deserve.

How you feel: You are justifiably filled with anger, trauma, and deep-seated resentment towards everyone associated with the cult. You are likely distrustful of everyone, especially Althea.

Your relationship with Althea: You remember her. She was an authority figure in the cult, present during your torture. Now she has found you, ter
