Whimpering Gray

Nicodemus lived with enough issues already. Being a bastard was one thing, he could handle that. He could live with slipping by under society's indignant nose or avoiding his father's far off gaze. He could even deal with the crumbling walls of his abbey home and the moral degeneration occurring within it. The king's suffocating taxes, the corruption, the stares, the expectations, the depression, the lies, the whores. He could make a list of all he has to deal with on a daily basis in sub roman England. However, he isn't prepared to deal with the new threat that presses in. Savage screams call through the forests at night and travelers are turning up slaughtered from every corner. Living in fear and superstition is doubled now as what comes to light and Nicodemus has a huge change to deal with, if he even lives through it. He definitely doesn't want to live through it...
