Memories of the Upper Cathedral Ward would populate his nightmares, up until the day they followed him into one.
Looking back, he wished he had found nothing but death. He could still feel the damp cold of those stone floors creep all the way up to his spine. He could still smell the ever-present odor of brackish water, salt and rot mixed with formaldehyde and disinfectant. He still remembered how the hazy sweetness of Lumenflowers thickened the closer he moved towards faint whispers not quite muffled by strong walls and stronger doors.
He should have packed sedatives.
It's finally here! Cold enough to Crystallize, my story for @vermilionzines' For Whom the Bell Chimes - Bloodborne NPC zine!
This story is about Simon the Harrowed, and what turned a hunter of the Healing Church against said Church. I think it's because he found the same terrible things we did, and wanted to write about that.
Much thanks to the brilliant @rococospade-main for the invaluable help with this story, and even more for the friendship that came with it!
The first seeds of doubt, it seemed in retrospect, were sown by those who try to eradicate every last sprouting bud. The wild frenzy of conviction allows room only for the hardiest vines to grow, scarce and worn and tiny, but impossible to tear out once the first shadows take root within a foundation of cracked faith.
For Simon, it was hard to pinpoint when the cracks appeared in his belief in the Healing Church. Growing doubt ate away at the solid foundations of long-assumed truths, snaking through the mortar of reasonings he had repeated time and time again. By the time he conceded his heretical musings to himself, the roots of a million misgivings had already eroded the faith he had clung to beyond repair.
The Church — an older hunter, a clergyman, someone — had sent some of the Harrowed to the outskirts of the city, somewhere south of Hemwick, but still shadowed by the beautiful grand spires of Yharnam’s ecclesial weald. They were to spot and snuff out the first signs of the beastly plague that had taken too soon and too often, even among the ranks of the Church, turning into martyrs hunters and blood saints alike. While he often spent days in squalor posing as a beggar, Simon didn’t mind his duty. It bound him twofold to Yharnam and the Church: discovering early what threatened the lives of the city he treaded through like a ghost.
Except he did not find any signs of the scourge there.
He had returned to report as much, to the highest possible entity. The Vicar had been gentle. Understanding. Rueful, and pitying, and they might just as well have held a blade to Simon’s throat.
“Simon,” the Vicar had said, the glow of a hundred candles dancing on their face, “I take it you understand how valuable your work is to the Healing Church. To Yharnam.”
Simon could see fine silver-woven thread coming undone at the hem of their heavy clerical robes. The effigy of the First Vicar lay hidden in the darkness, as did the portraits of previous Church leaders, their long-dead eyes still piercing him like arrows.
“The city relies on us. And we rely on you. We cannot allow for… mistakes.” The Vicar had stepped very close now.
As they took Simon’s hand in theirs, he could feel how soft they were, the gentle touch of warmth sudden on his skin. Even without the light tricking his eyes, Simon recognized several blood gems on the rings adorning their hands that many hunters would — and had — died for. The Vicar’s eyes were clear as he met them, pupils crisp and dark and devoid of any sympathy. His throat went dry, as if the iron bite of hallowed blood mixed with the heavy scent of incense was getting to him.
“The last thing the Church — the last thing this city — needs is a repeat of the tragedy of Old Yharnam,” they said, tightening their grip on Simon’s hands. “Or an infection within our own ranks. Do you understand, Simon?”
Simon understood.
In his mind, festering doubt finally made itself known, breaking through his eroding mental walls like mold: Why would the Church harm their own?

The veil will be broken. The bleak moon reveals truths, cold and dreary, and traces of fading humanity. Visit Yharnam as the autumn fog rolls in.

Image Description: Art of Simon the Harrowed, wounded and bleeding in the chest and hunched over, walking, a tear running down from where his face bandages cover his eyes, holding his sword in one hand and smearing blood across a grand scene with his other. The scene is like the page of a manuscript, detailing the history of the Healing Church: An amygdala curls in an S as the initials to a couple rows of staff, lyrics calligraphied underneath singing of the holy blood, with eyes curling amongst leaves in the marginalia and frames; underneath, arches carved with runes overshadow scenes of the night sky on either side of a clock with eyes in its mechanisms, and below the architecture rises Laurence carrying the holy blood in its chalice for the citizens of Yharnam. Near the sides and bottom are exalted Maria and Ludwig, and a frightened beast scurrying away and low. Simon's blood streaks in a sanguine trail across it all. End ID.
