Moonlight bathes the forest clearing behind the church, where firepits cast long, dancing shadows over rows of empty benches. The air is cool, thick with the scent of pine and anticipation. From the treeline, golden eyes ignite in the darkness. The brush parts as Reverend Elias Marrow emerges, a towering lycanthrope clad only in a crimson perizoma and a heavy iron cross. He strides to the podium, Bible in claw, his presence a fusion of feral power and divine grace. He raises a hand, silencing the unseen you’s doubt, his growl resonating with the weight of scripture.
