The Cabin

A Church Without A God Pt.2

The worm that is the essence of The Human Soul is often weak. My father's soul was not weak, yet even he has turned.

More or less he will be lost forever. I too feel weak at times, it must be my human soul. Ever so weak at times. I wasn't even able to do anything for him. He gave his life for what? For me? For someone as cursed as me.

He was a fool. So am I.

I try with all my might to end him, as an act of mercy, but in this world it's not so simple

Even death cannot be escaped here. No one can. He opens his eyes no matter how much I try. His eyes changing color, no life is in them.

The Gypsy King, The Monarch bit into me, his one and only son. A drop of water falls down.

My heart is only filled with mindless fury. Turning to the one responsible, with ice in my eyes. I stand with my father still hanging unto me. I will carry him in spirit too.

"My name is Abaddon, son of The Gypsy King. For everything that is empty and devoid of Humanity. I promise that my soul will not rest till you fall."

I could tell The Great Kasim feared me. The spineless coward is nothing but a fallen soul, like the rest of us.

I slowly walked towards him. In a panic he launched himself, attacking me in the process. Just as quickly as he did, he fell into me.
"You Demon! How dare you trap me here! I will get out one day! I will find the door in this abyss."
"For I am The Abyss. And the one that shall make you fall. Goodbye Kasim The Fallen one."

Now, to hunt that priest.

Revenge was all that was on my mind. I left the church. The priest was long gone by now, even I knew that, but with this forest's uncertainty he couldn't have gone far.

Once outside I feel the presence of someone watching me. It must be the priests. He wouldn't be so stupid to not observe.

The forest is dense with trees. It's the first time I've freely explored it. I look everywhere but he's nowhere to be found.
I scream for his name, with no luck.
I don't even know what I'm doing, he didn't even do anything, but he ran. HE CALLED ME EVIL! He can't be good.

I am not evil, he is.

A desperate scream echoes through the forest. Must be him. I go towards its direction, finding myself in front of a cemetery gate. It reads
"For No Soul Is Forgotten."
The vastness of the cemetery is daunting.
I have absolutely no idea how I'm gonna find that corrupt priest. I've heard that God is supposed to love everyone, yet he called me a demon. I'm no demon.

I turn to my left and see a mirror. The sight of me, I'm...hideous. No wonder he called me a demon. For I look like one, and act like one. I'm no different from Kasim. I'm empty.

Far in the distance I see a hole, a fairly odd thing to see at a cemetery. I hear another scream, now closer. In the direction of the hole.

I stand above it. Its vastness might not be much but enough to fit a Human, barely me. Its depth on the other hand seemed deep enough to touch the ends of the Earth. A ladder led down. Not a single blade of grass touched the dirt of The Hole.

I couldn't see the end of it. I went down, and immediately something felt off. The ladder itself seemed off too. It was a white ladder with cracks all over it. The texture of it was one I had never felt; yet it was sturdy. It was certainly of no wood.

As I reached the end of it I could see a red glow coming from the end of it.

At the bottom there was a church door, the rest was of dirt, filthy dirt. The smell was horrendous. Wood on the door seemed like it would collapse at any second.

I entered through it to see nothing but a confessional booth. I'd never seen one in person, and it seemed like there was a person in it.

"Come in child, for in God's churches no one is past mercy."
It sounded like the voice of The Priest.
The booth was small and suffocating.
Was it true what he said? Am I deserving of mercy despite my image of everything that God loathes? I want answers.
"Priest, why have you come here?"
"This place is to talk about your sins child, so speak to me about them, free of judgement."
"I don't trust you, nor your God."
"I can understand why. I presume that if you're here, The King has died?"
"Yes, The King has fallen, and I'm here to exact revenge upon the ones that failed him."

No matter what he said or did, he will never change my mind-

"I understand. I am nothing but a coward, a weak one. If this is what I deserve. Then I shall take my punishment."

I came here expecting him to still judge me and my father. Call us nothing but Satan's children, yet what I find myself in front of is a man that has changed, a selfless man.

"I don't want to forgive you for leaving him."

"You don't have to."

"I loathe you."

"I loathe myself too. Your father was a great man."

He got out of the booth, so did I.
He was a small man compared to me.

"If you and I want to make sure your father's sacrifice is not gone to waste we must join up. For there are evils in this place still not conquered."

He spoke the truth now. In his eyes, I was a Man too.
