The Saints

Chapter 1: In the beginning

"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming of ways this ritual could go wrong for it was the day I was to be initiated as a member of the occult"...

I let my eyes stroll across the room and I saw sigils drawn with blood, skulls of only God knows what, candles lit around. I felt so uncomfortable probably because I was just 8 years old.

"Don't worry dear there's nothing to be scared about" my mum assured me after seeing the worried look on my face.

"Te invoco a profundus inferni"...Dad conjured in an attempt to summon a demon and cut his hands as he lets his thick reddish-black blood drip into the bowl not long after a pillar of fire came down upon ...

"Who dares summon me," a conceited voice said...
That voice sent chills beneath my spine, my face went pale, legs trembling as I struggled to breathe, it was as if I had forgotten how to breathe, the most basic instinct of man.
"It is thy servant and I summoned you here to beseech thee to accept my son into thy kingdom and anoint him with thy mark as a symbol of protection"...Dad said with a bold look on his face

Dad had a bold look on his face but deep down I could see how terrified he was. I don't even want to talk about mum she just stood there lifelessly like she just saw a demon...well that's probably because she just did.
what I couldn't wrap my head around was the fact that this wasn't their first time summoning a demon..why were they so terrified still?.

"And what if I say I won't," the demon said with an arrogant tone
"Great King Samael am just a humble servant asking for a request," Dad said as he bent his head down
"You disturbed my rest and pulled me out of hell just to ask for something this so little. How about I incinerate you all where you stand how bout you that?" Samael asked
"please spare us we had no idea that spell would summon the third ruler of hell," Mum said

Samael looked at mum with a horrific stare as his eyes Shone crystal red and then he snapped his finger and mum caught on fire..she screamed and screamed till her voice faded into the darkness Dad's eyes went cold for he knew it was the end of us tears rolled down his eyes but he didn't wail..you could see the hopelessness in his eyes

"How dare a woman talk to me without permission," Samael said.
"So this is how it's going to go I'll burn you up and then I'll feed on your son's soul, that'll be the price for summoning a King" Samael added.

"Please sp..spare my son he has no idea on what's going on...you can take me b..but pl..please spare his life," Dad said as his voice began to break down

"Hahahahaha!!!!!...." Samael laughed so loud it could be heard a thousand miles away.
"I should spare your son you have all as if you have any say in this case".

He gave my dad a stern look as he approached...Every fiber in my being kept screaming to me "RUN...RUN OR DIE...RUNNNN!!!!.."

Samael held Dad by his neck and effortlessly raised him. I watched in terror as dad gently ascended, dad couldn't talk but I could see regret through his eyes I couldn't help but also notice the weird grin that monster had on his face as he watched my dad choke to death.
In his final breaths, he let out only one word which was "Run" right before Samael snapped his neck.
At that moment I knew I was next it was either I ran or I go bye-bye, so I let my legs take the wheel for I ran out of the house and kept sprinting across the empty road screaming for help as I ran but it felt like my voice couldn't reach out far.

"Where do you think you're running to, no one can save you it's just you and me now" I heard Samael said from behind me but I dare not look back.
Then I felt this heat approaching me was almost certain I was about to be hit by a fireball and then I heard a gentle voice say.....

"and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels."

And then the heat was gone I looked back to see who it was that spoke and there stood a man dressed in pure black robe holding a cross in his left hand

"Ohh a priest you even stopped my flames...gotta hand it to you stopping those flames was impressive..let's see if you can stop this" Samael said
His eyes Shone crimson red and he shrouded his shoulders then emerge his large black shiny wings as it spread out wide it was so black it almost merged with the darkness completely...

"Ohh you're a fallen....and judging by that fire attribute you must be Samael the third king," The priest said

"Glad you know that now I'll wipe your existence away from this earth," He said boldly as his wings spread even wider

The cold midnight breeze began to turn humid until I felt hot it was as if it was an afternoon on a hot summer day.
Then appeared multiple flames out of thin air, they charged straight for the priest the closer they came the hotter I felt I shut my eyes for I had made peace with myself knowing am going to die today.

"And under your wings shall we take refuge" The priest proclaimed holding the cross with his left hand as he drew an invisible cross with his right, the cross manifested and acted as a shield.
I opened my eyes slowly to see the barrages of fireballs as they hit the cross, I was as surprised as a child been shown a magic trick for never in my life had I seen something so impressive.

And then the priest said, "Ohh Lord let down thy chains, let them bound anything that defies you on Heaven and Earth".

Then chains appeared from the sky and held Samael captive he struggled but couldn't set himself free.

"What is this, why can't I set lose" Samael demanded angrily

"I don't know what a fallen angel was doing here but I know where you'll be going, too bad I don't have enough Grace to smite you where you stand," the priest said with a stern look on his face.

Then the priest began his Exorcism

"Omnipotentis Dei potestatem invoco!Omnipotentis Dei potestatem invoco!Ab orbe terra,Hunc angelum omne obsequendum!Domine expuet,Domine expuet,Ut Deum ad empyreum remittat!"

"I haven't forgotten your face...I'll be back and when I come be sure to have enough Grace to kill me not just to banish me, Cause if you don't I'll be feeding your soul to Cyberus" Samael threatened.

And in a burst of white flare, Samael was gone...

"He's gone now kid you're safe now...where are your parents?" The priest asked

Hearing of Samael's exit I felt safe... It felt like a heavy burden was lifted off my shoulder, then I began to feel dizzy, and just like that, I fell unconscious...
