2.6 The
Master and Squire.
Crawler had followed on that time, reluctantly
passed the walls into the monastery grounds but it refused to go into the
building. So they camped outside while Abbot Adrian revealed his new findings.
"Since before the war was declared, we have
been monitoring the signs or some time. We could have acted but the faith of
the leaders was swayed by the False Prophet and his appointed leaders. We saw
the cracks in the believers but the worse was the cracks among ourselves; the
leaders of the faith who was fighting among themselves to prove them better and
bringing down the other in the process."
"Yes, we were all corrupted by the greed of
evils; even almost us who were staunched in the faith. Fathers and sons fought,
brothers against brothers, and even angels against angels."
"It was not only recent but over a hundred
years ago; the war was to start but it was averted by the then Crusaders having
a role in it but never recorded as it was never meant to be. There were a
selected few of us who knew, but sworn to secrecy by an oath more sacred than
any we had ever taken."
"The hundred years had passed but we did not
disclose the secret. We kept hoping it would be the last and would never be
revealed. It did not end with that conflict but drove it to work in more secret
to be added on."
"The Seven Princes of Darkness were given a
fake understanding that they are spared and allowed to be return to the folds
of Heaven but was in actual fact being deceived by one other more crafty than them.
The Eighth Prince had a hundred years to plan and implements their imprisonment.
It was meant to overpower their influence."
"More to that, the Eighth Prince also had the
assistance of the others which extended the Dark Realm and their power. ”We saw
the signs and prayed for the message to be sent to God, but he may not have
known or like before was too slow to respond."
"The Eighth Prince of Darkness saw our effort was
fruitless, and curtailed our power by annihilating the believer of ours. A continent
was laid to waste to but it was to buy time for the Eighth Prince to
consolidate the power base. That done would result in the coming of the new
Judgment Day. It won't be a battle of the good versus evil, but the Old Gods against
the New Gods."
"So the rumors of the New Judgment Day were
true." Sergei muttered out.
"Your words rang true, but there was another
sign missed by many. In this new war, the Crusaders once again held the key to
victory. Just like the previous one in 2013, only the Crusaders can determine
the side to win." Abbot Adrian spoke out and looked at Geranium. "But
the sign said the Crusaders may be divided among them, causing a rift."
"Then let us be disbanded, so that we would not
influence the war. Get another savior." Geranium spoke up but the abbot
hushed her up.
"We cannot stop the movement of events but we
can influence its impact. The Crusaders would have to be re-united for
that." Abbot Adrian later sighed. "It’s unavoidable like this war. It
was all ordained."
"Abbot, may I know who is the Eighth
Prince?" Geranium asked.
"He sits on the throne at United Continent. He
is also known as the False Prophet. They have many minions of the old regime
with them. Those were once the servants of the other Princes, but now in servitude
to the new one."
"Where can I find the Eighth Prince?"
Geranium asked.
"I heard he is in Munich."
