Rose and Shade kicked the Church doors open. "Father Kirin!" they both wailed. A group of preists emerged from the shadows,and Rose laid Vergil's unconcious body onto the floor. Father Kirin came running from the High Priest's Chambers.
"W-What is the meaning of this?!" he demanded. The fellow Priests grabbed their vials of Holy Water and began to sprinkle it on Vergil,in an attempt to heal him. A vague attempt,that was.

The Holy Water boiled and spat as oil would inside a heated pan. The Priests gasped and chatter began amongst them.
"H-He's cursed!" exclaimed one.
"What does this say about Father Kirin,huh?" questioned another,smugly.
"T-This is the work of Satan!"
"Traitor!" cried a Priest from the huddle.

Went Kirin's staff.
"SILENCE!" he boomed. The hall fell silent. Kirin approached Vergil,and lifted him into his arms. "It is as you say...the blood of Lucifer runs through the boy's veins. I had knowledge of this from the day I took him in." he began.
"Y-You willingly adopted the Child of Satan?!" exclaimed yet another Priest. Father Kiring practically shrugged off their words.
"But;despite all of that,he has been under my provision since he was but an infant. I have raised him as my own;and that I shall continue to do,with or without this regiment." The murmuring began yet again from the group of Priests,some shaking their heads,some listening very closely. "He must never know the true nature of his origin. Because of this;all of you that do not wish to stay under my regiment,I must ask you to leave this place;do as you will,but never return." The Priests turned to look at one another in a desperate frenzy of decision-making. Soon after,the vast majority of the Priests had turned their cloaks and left. The ones that had remained were the ones higest in rank,Kirin's most trusted men. "To those of you who stayed,I would just like to say I greatly appreciate-"

Went the Ceiling,as some sort of entities dropped through the roof. The tallest and bulkiest one raised its head and moved his cloak behind his back. The creature has a some-what humanoid form,with long black hair,a white,carved mask and Ram horns equidistant upon his head. Silence filled the room.
. . .
"KIRIN!" screamed the creature,with his empty eyes practically stabbing Kirin.
"...Lucifer." spat Kirin,with fear writhing through him.
