Leim continued on his search for the man he had seen in his mirror. It had become late and he decided to get some sleep for the night.

He laid back and looked up at the sky. All those stars. On clear nights like this, he always thought he could reach out and touch them. He closed his eyes and quickly drifted to sleep.

"The time has come Leim, it's time you took your place as a hunter." The voice said as he stared at nothing. 

His brother just died. And they already wanted him to take his place.

"Why should I?" He retorted as he stood up to face his holiness the Pope. 

"So that I can fight and die for this cause? Why is my family so important in this crusade?"

The Pope just stood there, taken back by the sudden outburst. 

"You know why Leim. Your family is the only ones that can stand against these demons. Your bloodline has been blessed by God himself. Don't make this any harder than it has to be." He said as he touched Leim's forehead. 

"It is time for the blessing and to grant you your birthright." 

Leim knew he was telling the truth. He always knew it would come to this one day. 

No Hellzig has ever lived a long life and the next one in line always replaces the one before. He kneeled down before the Pope and kissed his ring. 

"Please forgive me of my outburst your holiness. I am ready to take my place." 

The Pope looked at Leim and said, "It's okay child, it is understandable to react like that in these tough times. Now let us begin."

............................................................

Leim jumped from his sleep. Something was not right. He felt a benign aura in the air. He quickly got his stuff together and started to look around. This presence is strong. This is a powerful being. 

'No', he thought. Wait there are more, a second nearly as powerful as the first but different and a few underlings. 

He could care less about the minions, but the other two if he felt them they must be aware he is out here.

Never one for hiding in the shadows, Liem smiled, "Ready or not here I come."
