Winter Solstice

Joshua, an Elandili* forced to flee the Empire Noel with his uncle as a boy, has returned and stands now at the precipice of his childhood dream. He's battled fear, doubt, rage and the tortured memories fuelling them, to ensure he's pitch perfect when meeting his Holiness; Christopher Nicholas Cringle, the Claus, war hero, spiritual leader and undisputed ruler of the empire. Perhaps their encounter will wash away some of the blood and terror staining the ties that bind them, perhaps not, but the plans have been laid and the deals have been made, so it's now or never! Christmas Eve, the one night he's away from his fortress 'The Workshop'. The one and only night Joshua has, not to save the world... but for revenge, and the death of the Holy Father Christmas! *Half Elf
