1.          European Shrine Swiss Alps

Beneath the cavern that was under the glacier, Mammon had done a good task of creating a masterpiece in architecture. It was done in accordance to the ideas suggested by Satan. The later had told him; don't be a sloth, show your grandeur. Build yourself a palace.

Mammon had the structures built into the ice wall surfaces and even constructed chambers inside the glacier. It now looks like a worshiping palace with the six towers and ice wall that allowed it to be defended should it be invaded. He had placed icicles as bolts to be fired from the ice designed ballista. He calls them his Legion of Ice; manned by the spirits that was there since the Roman's conquest.

Inside the walls are the chambers but there was one chamber he had constructed as a special one. There the chamber has a wall opening that leads to directly to Hell. It was the same gateway which they sent the Crusader who came too close to knowing the secret. A secret that only he and Baal knows; an unholy alliance of their own. It was Baal who thought that maybe with the war over, they could ruled the two biggest economy; Asia and Europe.

"Baal, I was not expecting." Mammon received his ally in the secret chamber. "Does the rest know you are here?"

"No, I came alone. As a matter of fact, I came to warn you of the Crusaders." Baal dust off the brimstones dust from his waiter suit. "I am here to sign a truce between the wolves and Vampires. " 

Baal threw the head to Asmodeus; its the head of Weir Ulfrednar.

"He could not hold a fight with Fenrir. So the wolf left us his head. Thought we do something with it. The wolves however are under one leader now'; Fenrir."

"Last I heard you were attacked by Clawler. Did you not killed him too?" Mammon asked the other.

"No, Clawler won. He left with the amulet and gave it to Mr.Weir Ulfrednar here. Clawler not a werewolf; he's Windingo. They are different."

"He didn't kill you?" Mammon asked in confusion. "I thought he hated you."

"Yes, he did but he hated Wilhelm more. He has taken the oath as a Crusader to do his oath before personal tasks. It would be soon before he come for me. "

"So why now the truce with the wolves? You know the vampires and werewolves are long time enemies. Why would they sign a truce?"

"Because Fenrir is my creation and Lucifer is an old friend of the vampires. They all shared similar goals but different objective. Different from yours."

"What do you mean?" Mammon asked but his reply was a spell to make a worm.

"You do not deserve to know. You are just a pawn in this war."

Baal picked up the worm and placed it in a jar before handling it over to an approaching warrior of his. "Take it to Lucifer. He has the place to store this."

The wolf then came in and walked to its master.

"Yes, its time to start the truce talk. I am sure the vampires are waiting eagerly." Baal leading the wolf.
