seven.
thats how many priests have gone missing so far.
he and erigion had know for a long while something would happen, but not like this.
this had taken them both by surprise. his chain of thoughts were interrupted by a small voice.

"could i please have something to eat now Mr stroud?" it said.
chapple stood in the doorway looking tired.

stroud looked at the boy still thinking to himself, this had to be matilas's boy the lads face and his were near identical, he'd know the boys mother too she was a pretty one he had her eyes.

"certainly" he said reaching for the veal
"wait...your not one of them weird veggy types are ya?"he asked him
chapple tried to work out what a "veggy type" was for a second, but just answered no after not being able to.

"good lad" said stroud handing him a large pewter plate full of meat.

chapple's face was a picture he'd never seen so much food on one plate before,at least not for one person.

"is this all for me Mr stroud?" he asked shyly.
"sure is me lad...and please call me stroud." he answered smiling
the boy jumped up on a chair and began to practically shovel it in his mouth with his fork.
poor bugger probably hasn't eaten for days stroud thought.

meanwhile in a dark city full of spires, back alleys,shops selling all kinds of mystic wares and places where if you wanted someone dead you just needed the money, sat a man.
he sat in one of the tallest spires staring out of the window. he saw allot of things from his window...none of them were ever good things mind...perhaps to the bloke who got paid at the end of them maybe, but to the victim certainly not.

this evening was a quiet one though.

he turned his attention to his desk several letters were upon it, all from concerned family and friends of priests. something was troubling his mind, something dark, something that he did not intend to be there. images of the slain were vivid in his minds eye. towns and city's everywhere ablaze with a blackened sky above...the streets filled with body's of men women and children, where roads once were there was now a raging river of blood. and evil....it filled the air.

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" he screamed smashing his fist onto the hard marble table.
the air began to clear, his vision returned and thoughts normal once more.

far far away a young girl began to laugh.
