John sits on the steps to the chapel, flicking through the book in his hand, he knows there is stuff in here he should read and learn.  His guys don’t point him towards stuff that’s worthless but even knowing what he has in his hands is worth something he can’t concentrate on the job at hand which is very unlike him.

 Frustrated he throws the book back into the bag and kicks the bag away from him.  Letting out a deep breath he forces himself to calm down, pushing the urge for violence down..

 He closes his eyes and thinks about the happenings of today.

 “Lydia…Boy have I stuck my neck out for you today…I hope you’re worth the risks.”

 His eyes open and he looks at the moon, still hanging in its Gibbous form in the sky, the form of visions and prophecy, of courage and of the traditions of Uratha past.

 “Luna…Why me?  Why did any of this have to land on my doorstep?  I was happy doing what I did in Southampton…I don’t think I’m ready to watch over someone like Lydia yet as usual you think differently…Why me?  What the fuck did I do to deserve this?!”

 Again John forces himself to calm down, breathing deeply and thinking about his Oath.  The Oath of the Moon…Jack…John let’s out a sigh.

 “You know if Jack tries to finish off Lydia in the name of the Oath I’ll stand in her way.  Even knowing that I’ll die…Maybe that’s why you chose me?”

 John tilts his head slightly as he watches the moon.

 “I love you Mother Luna…Help me find the right path, for all of us.”

 John closes his eyes and prays silently to himself.
