chronicle 21: pack mentality

It doesn't take a lot to break the door down with my shoulder after I whisper the "pael" spell for jumping in my legs and I hear the pieces of the door hinge splinter and fly into the distance, I'm getting stronger apparently all that training seemed to be getting me in better shape, I've been doing 30 pushups a day, and 100 situps, a day and finally connected to a power base, it increased my strength, and it's given me boost.

We enter into the church and I look around and well it's a church, it's huge and the pieces of art I feel are watching us, it's an eerie feeling but If he's kept my friend and Judas family in here somewhere the only thing we can do to find them.

So naturally, we get to the center and it's a massive church. "Ok, we split up here '' Judas tells me and again I'm lost where his head is at. "Dude we just lost Kali, and Sarah if there's any indication of how efficient Biasio hunts is already captured, if I lose you also it's only a matter of time before I'm finished, you gonna apologize to me in the afterlife?" Judas scoffed. "First off you give us way too little credit Caleb, second if we were easy pickings he would have not taken us down easily? I think she can hold her own enough, My sister is here I sense her we're dhampirs"

I look at him, confused by the term." Dhampirs?" The word was like vampires but that was more far-fetched than this Biagio guy who's a cannibal butcher demon who runs a tavern inn and eats children in stews.

"And yet you saw him with your own eyes," and my eyes widened as I looked at Judas. Did he just read my thoughts "do you believe the same of warlocks and yet you're here? I blink hearing voices in my own head and I look at him and Judas is looking at me as if waiting for me to realize that HE'S the one talking in my head...

"Ok I'm gonna take this as me getting close to my second level but when we get back your gonna start talking"

He nods and splits off. 'I'm gonna hunt for Biagio's bones if we find his remains and burn them he's done for, find my sister you're an excellent tracker and you've seen the blueprints"

I nod and start to walk along the walls, sure that this was a far spookier trip than I wanted

I wander down the center, sensing danger in the very air I breathe. I sigh and start studying the place.

"All I wanted was a visit to my little sister, maybe get a few things worked out" Suddenly, as I'm checking the back left arched hallway where all the religious items are such as a marble table surrounded by picture frames, I'm sent back to remember when Biagio guided me to find "the secret to his meat sausage soup" and he locked me in the back pantry, and it was this spot,

Walk over and start examining and sure enough, my fingers feel air coming from the sides of the bricks behind the archway of the artifacts, apparently, they buried the opening in bricks, it just stands to reason that as a spirit he could turn life into astral forms and make going through walls like walking through a doorway. I had found it. "I took a breath of excitement. I never thought I would get this far and now I had to get in, and so far no Biagio, that's concerning me given that he took my sister so what would take him so long? I hope you give him a run Kali," I pray to my sister and start to work I walk around the massive chest and take pick up all the photos and put sister and take things down to the ground, first the one in on the wings, then the center, I move the pictures, and then the moved the rest from the back wall and decorations came next till all there was, was the chest in front of the back wall and upon thinking, I realize that when I was in astral time I could just walk into the pantry, I can't do that now it's all bricked up, and based on the way they positioned, the bottom would be the hardest to blow, so while I was still out of my mind, I climb onto the chest, and just look at it.
