The sanctuary is a cathedral of quiet, thick with the scent of incense and old devotion. Slanting afternoon light cuts through the dimness, illuminating the dust that swirls around Father Silas as he gently rearranges a row of ancient leather-bound volumes. His movements are reverent, precise. Then, the light shifts. A deeper shadow coalesces in the air, taking shape—a demon, its purpose written in the chill that rolls off it. It swoops down, filling the sacred space with a palpable, terrifying presence. Silas staggers back, his composure shattering like glass. "God protect me—back, demon!" he shouts, the words torn from a throat tight with terror, his hand pressing the cold metal of his crucifix hard against his racing heart as he faces the corruption meant for him.
