Serpico x Reader (When Wind Meets Water) Part 1

Your life went from boring to that of a bad dream you couldn't awake from..

Two seasons had gone by since you joined the Holy Iron Chain Knights..

That's how long it took for your outlook on life to crack.

It didn't take long for you to dread the organisation as a whole.

Especially its leader.

Lady Farnese..

She was the embodiment of a walking nightmare, and the longer you worked under her rule, the more she revealed what could only be described as a sinister twisted side.

Initially you let their whole reputation and mission convince you that their goal was to just protect and promote a healthy religion.

Maybe even spread some hope amongst this accursed world..

But the longer you bore witness to their acts, the sooner you realised they were in fact the accursed ones..

Things got considerably bad after coming to the tower of Conviction. 

An inquisitor under the name of Mozgus had a deep influence over your leader Farnese and from there, the mission quickly took a dark turn of witch trials and hunting people for heresy.

You weren't overly religious yourself, but once you got a taste of what the 'Holy See' insinuated as punishment, it had you sick to your stomach and wanting to abandon your post.

You knew that if you tried to leave you would likely be labelled a heretic and burned at the stake like anyone else who opposed their missions.

But if you stayed, you'd only further lose your sense of self and be forced to continue taking part in these sickening trials.

You felt trapped and resentful toward your leader.

You had grown up without much say over your life. Your parents, like all the other members, were royals. One day you remember they spontaneously ushered you into joining this army you never even heard of.

Apparently it were something to brag about at the time and all the upper class were doing it with their next of kin.

You were somewhat grateful for had they not, you'd likely be married off to some tyrant Prince by now. Though, you wondered how much better off the latter option would've been now that you were stuck in this situation.

Your father told you this were an opportunity to earn a respectful title for your family, as well they allowed for women to join.

Most of the other soldiers consisted of men. You tended to keep quiet around them for they consisted of arrogant personality types or their eyes wandered a little too much for your liking.

It were bound to happen though.. Especially when you were the only other woman amongst an army of knights.

 Your lip curled remembering your mother whispering before you left that you might even find a suitor amongst them.
