Chapter 2

    “The World is a desert, I am the Oasis. Wait, I meant I eat desserts… either or” ~ The motto of the unknown king of Ikamaru

    Emmanuel was dead tired. All he did was stand next to this stupid hill and guard some stupid wooden building. He expected as an Archbishop of the grand Ainsy Theocracy he would be in the frontlines defending all of humanity against the forces of evil. He was dressed in full battle regalia and at his side he held a sword given to him by the grace of Ainsy, his god, himself. “My sheep need me to shepherd them. Obviously the pope is a heretic. He does not want me to strike at the very heart of evil” Emmanuel thought. “I must destroy him before he makes humanity dead or worse.”

He heard the door to the little church open and came out the pope. The pope was not a large man. He was very short. He has been mistaken for a dwarf many times when he has entered the local pubs but he was able to show proof that he was descended from humans because Ainsy made him pope. Emmanuel was jealous because this dwarf was pope and not him. He wanted the position but nooooooooooooooooooooooooo, it had to go to that stupid dwarf. Emmanuel thought that Ainsy made a mistake in his choice.

Ainsy isn’t a perfect god. He makes mistakes like the rest of us. I must correct him of his mistake” Thought Emmanuel.

    The pope walked slowly out and Emmanuel was waiting for the imposter to make a mistake so he can drive his blade into its stomach. Ainsy would reward him greatly Emmanuel thought.

The pope suddenly replied “I’m sure Ainsy would not like what your thoughts are. Your mind is clouded with jealousy.” Startled, Emmanuel reeled back, but maintained his composure.

“I did not think of anything like that… maybe it is an infiltrator that you just heard” Emmanuel said. A cold sweat was forming on the Archbishop’s face. If the imposter figured him out, it would be lights out for humanity.

“Maybe, but we both know we are in a very safe place” The pope replied back.

Both men looked at each other for a moment and looked away.

“I suppose you must want to fight” said the pope.

Emmanuel said nothing.

The pope continued “I have been just told by our lord Ainsy that an evil beast has awaken on the other side of the continent.”

“So?” Replied the Archbishop. “This happens all the time nowadays. Just send one of our templars or priests to deal with the thing.

“Ah, but Ainsy has told me that you must kill them.

“Them?”

“Excuse me, it. I missaid. Anyway, You must go at once”

The Archbishop glared at the pope.

“I don’t like this.. But alright.”

“Get going, I don’t like unbelievers.”

"Why thanks for the compliment."
