Well, this is it guys. I am sad to say the real life comes to steal me away.. I can’t say how long it will be before I’m back in time for a proper character. And so it comes, Bene has come to his deathbed. The ballad of the Thorn-Crowned Cardinal has come to its close. Deo Gratias!
I’ll miss Bene. He has been a unique and wonderful chartacter. He represented a lot of myself and a lot of things that are no where near myself. I have a certain closeness to Bene. He represents a lot of the doubts of us discerners as well as our hopes. Yes, us discerners. I am going to come out and say it to all of you now: I am currently discerning to the Catholic Priesthood and in all likelihood, I’ll go to seminary in a year or two and in several following, I’ll kneel at the altar for ordination. As a discerner, do I agree with a lot of what Bene did? No. I can’t say if he was called to the Priesthood in the end and what of his decisions are right and wrong.. but, I never really expected to either.
I want to thank you all for making this game as stunning as it is. I’ve played a few MUs in my day and this one is my favorite. the combination of a beautiful theme, wonderful players, and great RP. Please, keep up the great work. I’ll stick around with my alts and get some RP when I can with them. Yet, I cannot say you’ll really be seeing as much of me as I’d like in the time ahead.
As I said, he meant a lot to me. I hope to have many of his virtues and hope I can have learned from his faults. I hope you enjoyed him. I did.
Give me a few months and you’ll have a new young priest.
In the meantime, a song.
