CHANGE OF HEART

🦄

No matter how long it is, long or short, when you fight alongside someone for a common cause, you become a brother, or sister. And true to that statement, Barabbas was more than a Brother to me. I saw Him as my Father.

Remember, my own Parents were Martyred.

And, He took to me quickly. I listened, learned a little quicker, and drew my Sword faster than the rest. If he needed someone to sneak into a Camp, I was the one.

The Silent Assassin they called me. I was very skinny, and could slink and slither out of almost anything. When I was a boy, I had found I could displace several bones throughout my body, even to the point to contort my figure into that of a four legged like creature. I was arrested four times, jailed once, but always freed from my bonds.

On this special occasion, though, I could do nothing.

Simon Peter had left our Militia, having crossed to the side of Peace for the Nazarene, as I had stated. We implored him one last major conflict as we were on the cusp of total victory.

He replied "No, it is for our sakes we follow Him, the Son of God."

I verbally cursed his name, and swore I would see him dead in this life. As he turned to walk away I almost beheaded Simon out of anger and Betrayal.

So too was he running with Iscariot. And him I absolutely Loathed.

Judas was one of us as well, but a Thief and a Robber. He was always greatly fond of Women, and took no regard at Shaming them before he Slew them, in the Name of the Lord.

On one of these occasions, Barabbas and I caught him, in the very act. We cut off both his thumbs and his vessels so as to never hold a weapon or hurt a woman again.

And 'he' was counted among them!?

God forbid!

He eventually came back to us to consort to Betray the Nazarene which we at first happily received; but caught tell it was a trap, the Roman Centurions lying in wait. We should've seen it coming! Barabbas was the first to be captured, his massive forearms slashed and bloodied. Iscariot himself cut off his thumbs and gouged out his pupils. And I fought my shackles until I had broken free, fleeing to safety.

I felt so ashamed I could nothing.

But I vowed that day to plunge a dagger into the back of Judas.

When I later saw him, as he took to Betray the Nazarene, that is when I decided to have our Vengeance.

But the Quill now becomes heavy, as my eyes seek an Hour's Rest. I shall retire for now.
