“What’s going on in here?!” One soldier exclaims. “Quickly, protect the Patriarch and Father Montgomery!”
“I’m saying that the time has come for our ‘partnership’ to end.” Bennett responds. “The Goddess has finally bestowed on me a vision of the future. A world free from your machinations and schemes. And she has granted me the power to see it through. I will rise to meet her expectations, and in turn I shall eradicate your kind, and root you out wherever you may hide. I am her voice and prophet! Behold! You can not hide your true form from me any longer, demon!”
A terribly strong power rises from where Bennett is standing. You’ve never seen this sort of spell before, but you’ve heard tales of its power. Abraxas, a powerful Faith spell capable of disintegrating all that stands before it. The target of Bennett’s spell though isn’t you or your group though. Instead, a ray of holy light pierces through the tent’s top and engulfs the exact spot Montgomery stands on. All nearby soldiers, yourself included, are forced to take a step back and avert your eyes as the holy magic burns a hole into the earth where Montgomery was standing.
“Ahh! W-what was that? Father Montgomery, are you alright?” A soldier cries out in anguish once the smoke clears. He approaches the crater where the Priest had been standing and places a hand on the man’s shoulder. However, when he gets a closer look at what is standing there, he backs away in pure terror. “W-what?! F-Father-“
The soldier is suddenly thrown back violently, slamming into the ground with bone-shattering force. Before you no longer stands the Orthodox Priest, but a repulsive and twisted figure reminiscent of others you’ve seen before.
“You’ve made a grave mistake.” Odesse’s voice is horrific to the ears, sounding as if coming from lungs that have been burnt out by fire. “You’ve grown far too big for your seat…I’ll drain your body of every last drop of blood…and hang you from the rafters of this accursed monastery…No…I won’t kill you…Instead…an endless hell awaits you…awaits you all…” The sage hisses as dark magic begins flowing from his body like a fog, suffocating the room.
“W-what…” Leif mutters under his breath next to you. “What the hell is going on here…?”
