The True Blades
My name is Stephania, and I was once part of the Order of the Divine Blades. We were a group of skilled warriors, dedicated to serving our Mother Superior and carrying out her missions with unwavering loyalty. Our latest mission was to bring Selene back, and if necessary, use force.
Selene, once our sister, was now being hunted by us. It troubled me deeply, for I couldn't fathom why she had become our target. As a member of the Order, we were taught to respect hierarchy and never question our superiors. We were to have blind faith and execute our missions with fervour, leaving nothing and no one behind.
Mother Superior's desire to have Selene back at all costs was evident. She had even assigned Grace, a formidable warrior, to lead our team. Grace had never been fond of Selene, and it was clear that an "accident" was bound to happen. It wasn't Grace's usual style, but her disdain for Selene was evident. This was not a rescue mission for her.
As we prepared to embark on our mission, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. Selene had been a loyal member of our Order, dedicated to our cause. How could she have gone astray? I knew that I had to find out the truth, even if it meant going against the principles of the Order.
The night was dark and filled with uncertainty as we approached Selene's hideout. The air was thick with tension, and I could feel the weight of our mission pressing down on me. Grace led the way, her determination evident in her every step. The rest of us followed closely behind, our weapons at the ready.
As we reached Selene's location, the truth slowly began to unravel. Selene was not the traitor we had been led to believe. She had discovered a dark secret within the Order, one that threatened everything we stood for. She had tried to bring it to the attention of Grace before but her pleas had fallen on deaf ears.
Grace's hatred for Selene suddenly made sense. She was not just a loyal follower of the Order; she had become part of the corruption that Selene had uncovered. Grace had been assigned to lead our team to ensure that Selene never made it back alive. This mission was nothing more than a cover-up.
At that moment, I made a choice. I could no longer blindly follow the orders of the corrupt. I turned to my fellow warriors, the ones I had fought alongside for years, and I saw the same realisation in their eyes. We were no longer the Divine Blades. We were rebels, fighting against the very Order we had once sworn to protect.
Together, we stood against Grace and her cronies. The battle was fierce, but our determination fueled our every move. Selene fought alongside us, her skills unmatched. She had not lost her loyalty; she had simply found a new purpose - to expose the truth and bring justice to the corrupted Order.
In the end, we emerged victorious. The corrupt members of the Order were defeated, and Selene's name was cleared but only among us few. The truth came to light, and the Order of the Divine Blades was forever changed. We became the Order of the True Blades, dedicated to upholding justice and protecting the innocent.
As for Mother Superior, she was never found. Rumours spread that she had fled, unable to face the consequences of her actions. But we knew that justice would catch up to her eventually.
As we continue to discover the truth, fight against corruption, and find a new purpose. The Order of the True Blades would stand strong, ensuring that justice prevailed and that no one, not even our own, would be above the law.
