Description
(Based on a setting created.)(After getting my tablet to work again I can finally finish all my projects put on hiatus)
Created to inspire fear and obedience into those who live under the rule of the 1000th pope, the Executioner unit was forged using the flesh of the enslaved. They are autonomous, stalking the darkness searching for sinners to impale on their bladed limbs. They do not discriminate, they only kill. Only the pure have nothing to fear, or so they hope... hoping that they never hear the clacking and scraping sound of the Executioner's blades and feet right behind them.
Gravekeeper's momento: "I met an executioner today on the field today. It spotted me in the distance burying a soldier and scuttled up to me, it's metal legs tapping on the concrete ground in a hypnotic but chilling beat... tap, tap, tap, tap... and stops in front of me. It towers over me and gazes with non-existing eyes, it's third arm poised and ready to strike. I stood my ground and gazed back for I knew not if it deemed me a sinner. After a short paused it uttered choppy mechanical words 'you... bury...?', 'Yes, for the dead deserve a burial,' I replied. 'You... strange... but pure...?' it asked. I did not reply for even I did not know if I was pure in it's unseeing judgment. Soon it spoke again, slowly leaving. It said 'Go... with God...' and left. Even today as I write this I don't know if I am pure of sin or just another sinner in this sin filled world..."
