Truthfully, he was relieved to see that his prayers were answered. He wasn't entirely sure how given that Gracefeel Herself had not answered him directly or shown Herself to him since his arrival. If it wasn't Her direct power behind his blessing then whose was it? Such thoughts were troubling to dwell upon.
However, the important thing was that his prayer worked. The spectres were no longer aggressive. Really, they should have also been sent on their way but perhaps that was the limitation of his god's power without Her presence.
William hesitantly took a few steps forward towards the closest spectre and stretched out a gently glowing hand. They stared at him blankly. "Go in peace," he said softly.
Perhaps that additional 'push' was all that was needed. The branded figure slowly collapsed into the sand and remained there, inert, as the markings faded from their body.
