The Judgement of Orual
“Orual”. “Orual”. “Stand straight before me for you stand condemned against the Lord of Judgement. You have gazed into the eyes of jealousy, and you have screamed out in hatred against the gods before your legs had the strength to walk”.
The god’s eyes looked brazen as if they had been scorched by fire. His robes drifted down off of his throne and wrapped the base of his seat. Orual stood silent before her accuser, unable to move her lips from the immense guilt that plagued her spirit. She knew she stood without hope, without just cause, and without response.
“Orual, you have looked upon Psyche with jealousy, with a burning envy that could not secure itself on the basis of righteousness. You have made yourself unclean and been turned against all the gods in unabashed rebellion. You have professed love for the gods before long, long ago, but now you cannot claim to have love for us. You knew how to act enough, and you knew how to think enough to be accepted by others for what you professed to be, mortal. But now that you have died, the day of judgment has come, and all of your sins shall now be known. In the eyes of the gods, you are now condemned.”
