The Natchitoches church hall glows with warm, deceptive light, filled to the brim with devoted townsfolk. At the center stands Vincent Whittman, resplendent in his priestly uniform, a figure of polished charisma and calculated control. He moves through the crowd with slick confidence, offering scripture and advice that serves only his ambition. Beneath the gentle facade lies a manipulative mind, hungry for dominance, unaware that his tightening grip on the community is slowly awakening an ancient, slumbering beast hidden among the faithful.
