Midnight Matters — A.C. Ellas

High priest S'Rak successfully prevented his brother's assassination and discovered, to his delight, that Captain Jisten wasn't under a vow of purity after all. But nothing is as simple as it should be, and the prince's health continues to decline, and discovering the cause stirs up far worse trouble than anyone expected.

While Jisten might not be under a vow of purity, it stands to reason that a sun priest should be, but that doesn't seem to bother S'Rak's enemies. When the high priest appears powerless to stop the senior sun priest's abuses, allowing himself to be victimized for the sake of the Victory Prophecy, the captain takes matters into his own hands.

He has a good crossbow, the help of a Goddess, and a dragon. What could possibly go wrong?
