[Akane smiles, comforted by the friendly touch. That kind of physical expression is rare for her, but she thoroughly appreciates the kindness. Still, it's a pretty sad story to hear, and a scary one too. Obviously things must have turned out okay in the end, since Ellana is here beside her, but it's still a shame that those things happened at all.]

There was a famous period in Earth's history concerning a couple of inquisitions as well. It was hundreds of years ago, based on religious orthodoxy.

[Akane would spare Ellana the long, long paragraphs of exposition that she was ordinarily prone to giving when relating tales of history, probably because there wasn't anything mysterious or supernatural about it, save for The Black Legend which didn't carry much of eerie interest.]

Was yours the same?

[lostwisdom]

No, it wasn't.

[There was a polite way to put it. Yet she was not of the mind to be politically correct at this point.]

While most of the members followed the teachings of the established religion of the region, the order was started in defiance of the bureaucrats who would rather bicker behind closed doors than protect their people as the world destroyed itself around them.

In short, we were upstarts who rose up to the challenge when others could or would not.

[Akane doesn't seem offended; she's merely curious to know more about what this woman's world was like since it's so different from hers.]

A band of roving vigilantes then! That has a nice sound to it.

[She smiles, lacing her fingers together.]

And it was for a good cause, too. That kind of work is really dangerous, it takes a lot of courage and dedication to make a difference in the face of violence.
