Chapter 9

Copia watched you leave, a mix of worry and concern etched on his face. He leaned back in his chair, his heart racing. He couldn't shake the feeling that this was more serious than he originally thought.

He let out a sigh, and ran his hand through his hair in frustration. He knew he had to talk to the other papas as soon as possible.

Copia called one of his Ghouls, who diligently goes to inform the rest of the papas about the upcoming meeting. The Ghoul, as faithful as ever, delivered the message to the other papas with haste.

Soon enough, the Ghoul had informed the other papas about Copia's request.

Half an hour later, they were sitting in his office in front of his desk. He told them everything that you had told him.

After he finished, Copia sat behind his desk. He took a deep breath, looking at the papas before him.

The other Papas went silent for a moment. Secondo was the first that spoke

Secondo, the dark and intense former Papa, leaned forward in his chair, his brows furrowed in thought: "This is indeed troubling." He said, his voice low and serious. "If she is indeed being visited by Lilith, and her dreams are getting worse, we may be dealing with a serious situation!"

Copia nodded in agreement, his expression serious.

"Yes," he said gravely. "We may be dealing with a powerful entity here. If it's Lilith herself or a spirit in her form, it is still something that poses a significant threat."

Primo spoke up next.:"What do you suggest we do, Copia? We can't just sit around and let her be afflicted by a demonic presence."

"Sister Imperator told her that only an exorcism could help her!", copia said

Secondo huffed, crossing his arms across his chest. "Pah! An exorcism alone won't solve the root of the problem. It will only give her temporary relief."

Terzo spoke next . "Perhaps Secondo is right," he said thoughtfully. "An exorcism on its own may not be enough. We need to consider all our options here."

Copia leaned back in his chair. That were what he had been afraid of.

Copia nodded, feeling a sense of dread settle in his stomach. "Yes," he said quietly. "I had a feeling you all would say that. An exorcism will only delay the inevitable. We need to find a way to remove the demonic presence permanently!"

Secondo looked thoughtful, his eyes fixed on a random spot on the wall. "If it's Lilith herself that's possessing her, it would take more than a simple exorcism to drive her out. Lilith is a powerful entity in her own right. She won't go down without a fight."

"A fight?", Copia asked.

Secondo nodded "Yes. A fight. Lilith isn't some weak spirit that can be banished in an instant. If she truly is the one possessing the Sister, it will take more than just an exorcism to drive her out. We'll need to confront her directly. it could be dangerous, but it may be the only way to permanently remove her presence."

Primo noded and looked at copia

Copia noticed Primos look, feeling a mixture of trepidation and determination. He knew that Primo was one of the most experienced papas, having seen and dealt with many supernatural threats in his time. If Primo agreed that confronting Lilith directly was the best course of action, then Copia knew he had to listen.

Primo smiled faintly, his eyes filled with determination. "I agree with Secondo and Terzo. If it is Lilith herself or a spirit in her form that is afflicting the sister, then an exorcism alone may not be enough. We may have to confront her directly, but it won't be easy. We have to be prepared for anything."
