I like it.
Just one bit of criticism: The whole story is about a meeting on the road. There are a lot of words describing what the characters are feeling. My thought is to have more of the story telling and less of what the characters are feeling (where they are headed, where they came from, etc.)
I am a writer and would love to work on this project!
The focus of the story was more on the feelings of being exiled and looking for an outlet for his anger and bruised pride. Where he was going was of no consequence, only that the priests were in the wrong place at the right time.
