Chosen

[dramatispersonae]

[There is a circular table with fourteen chairs lined around it. In the center of the table, there is a bowl with fire burning pleasantly inside it. It seems to be the only source of light in the room. The flames flash upon a few items spread across the table: A spool of black thread, a worn though plenty sharp knife, a wooden cup with a faint coopery smell, and a saucer of seven smooth, black stones.]

Choice

[dramatispersonae]

Numerous cards fly out from the flames before seven settle gently in front of each chair. They each have a word scrawled on them in black ink: Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, and Humility.

"You must choose once more . . . When you have selected a card, throw it into the flame . . . "

Answer

[dramatispersonae]

Which card do you choose?

[isfet]

Seriously, this is it?

And no indication of what the hell we're choosing for, of course.

Choice

[dramatispersonae]

The voice calls out from the dark once more, "This is your last choice. I have taken you from where you belong. They will choose what they will do to reclaim you . . . But it is not only their choice. What will you allow them to do reclaim you? Will you let them give up a limb? A sense . . . ? Or will you let them suffer an injury? Or will you let them face even death so that you can return to them . . . ? When you have chosen, speak into the flames."

Answer

[dramatispersonae]

What will you let them do?

Re: Answer

[isfet]

[thinks for only a moment, then leans in.]

Whatever he's willing to do. I don't care, it's his choice.
