Chapter 24 - CATACOMBS

The scape goat, Azazel.. the personification of the Human sins, said to be the most sinister demon ever created. And worst of all he was a creation of Humans themselves, and you know the saying that Humans will always have a big hand in thier undoing.. well that was the case in the creation of Azazel.

Destiny can always be a bitch some times because she is always on bad timing, now the fate of the Mystic and Non mystic realm falls on the heads of three developing witches.

'Is Azael that powerful?' asked a clueless Lunare as they stood in the pope's room.

'Oh dear, you will never understand until you meet him.. it took everything to get him locked up' Answered the pope with a grunt.

'Which of the Demons locked up in the catacombs poses great problems?' Amara asked curiously.

'According to the stories, The demons locked up here, posed great threats of equal magnitude' Sophia answered quickly.

'You know, you don't have to always do that..' Lu said but cut himself off before he could speak another word.

'Are you referring to me?' Sophia asked Sarcastically..

'No'

'Oh'

'There is really no time for an argument, we need to formulate a plan on how to defeat these Demons' Amara said authoritatively.

'Okay..' they both answered in unison and the Pope chuckled. He stood up from the bed and limped towards the other side of the room where a wodden cupboard stood, it was behind the trio. He walked past them, finally reaching the cabinet, he held it's handles and swung it open, there was nothing but a dark nothingness in there, the Trio stared astonished.

'well come on kids, to the Catacombs we go... We don't have all day' he said quickly walking into the darkness, the cupboard was a tall long rectangular structure so it was easy to walk into it.

'

'Amazing!' Sophia gasped as she saw the inner structure of the famed catacombs of the Vatican, the central storage of the Secrets the church or any other Holy citadel. It was an interesting sight; the tunnels,the walls, the chambers, the niches, the feeling of death that lingered heavily on the Air all these brought to a Surreal experience to the outside mind and that included the trio.

'They sure did kill people here a lot' Lu muttered, his voice showing his distress.

'The feeling of death comes from the many bodies buried here in the the 2nd to 5th century, if you follow this tunnel by your right you would see the Chamber of Bones but we aren't here on a sight seeing trip' The pope narrated, using subtle gestures to send across his message.

'Wow' Amara muttered under her breath. The pope took a turn to the left and went through the tunnel, the trio following diligently, although he was limping he was quite fast.

When they reached the end of that tunnel, they took a right and went through that tunnel, towards the ending of the tunnel, A Strong pressure pressed down on the ground, making them groan in pain, it felt like Despair, regret and revenge.

'Something isn't right' Lu said as the groans continued, everyone was groaning except The pope, he stood firm gazing at nothing.

'Great Principalities grant me strength to overcome this Challenge' The pope said in a low tone immediately a bright light erupted from inside him, the sinister pressure instantly ceased.

'This is what we fight' he said and walked foward signalling the others to follow him..
