1
Damien got into the Church because it meant doing something, concretely, to improve the world. He sometimes finds it ironic that the Church's values means they're not able to do things immediatly, in the way Pagan faiths are efficient. That's why he jumped on the occasion to do sorcery when the Matriarchy opened up to it - and later to bring it to the East. He can't stand to be powerless in the face of suffering.

2
He discovered the Prophet's writings when he was a young teenager, it was love at first sight. He read obsessively, talked to Priests. His parents never did understood his faith. At fifteen, he would fall asleep head full of imaginary discussions with the Prophet. Funny how things went. He never did got around to ask those questions.

3
Sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night, from a faint, hazy nightmare which tells him some ties never come fully unbound. It's a bittersweet pain, all the more for the fact that he cannot put a name on it. He's not without vanity either, and, if allowed, he would be terribly proud of what he did to redeem the Hunter. But the Hunter is dead, and Tarrant is no more. So that vanity too, went away in sacrifice.
It was, he thinks, certainly worth it.

Title: Three facts about Kozue
Fandom: Shoujo Kakumei Utena
Pairings/Characters: Kozue
Length: 281 words
Notes: Written for the three facts of my personnal canon meme

1.
She was never good at piano and she never meant herself to be - but... but sometime when she passes in front of that music store, she looks at the violins and imagine herself playing the cello, wood firmly held between her tights, rasping the archer against the ropes in a wild, struggling, sensual tone so different from the orderly music of piano.
It's just a dream, though. She's not about music, that's her brother.

2.
Up until when she was 10 year old, Kozue was extremely shy. She hated when people were looking at her. Her brother was the one who talked the the adults invited by their parents. The good, polite boy they showed off and who smiled and greeted back (Oh! Ah! How smart he is! How cute!). Kozue would hide more often than not during that time, or stand silently behind her brother's back, glaring at the tall silhouettes overshadowing them.

3.
She stopped being shy when she discovered sex. A boy - not even one that had liked her - had wanted something from her (the games of children, exchanging a gaze at what was hidden by their underwears). Suddenly there were a world of power - desire and flesh and namelessness - that she could understand. This, she knew. This, she could play (skin against skin in the music room and only she can listen to the masterful symphonies she makes).
It amuses her, too. The boys and their toys, how they looked at her, all the Tougas of the world. They thought her a doll, at first. They didn't realize two could play the game. They didn't realize she was a predator, too.
