The fire crackled subtly against the back wall as an ink pen wrote away on faded paper. Though the pages of Beau's medical journal had become aged, the lessons inside remained timeless. If the day ever came that he died, the man or woman who got their hands on the books in his study would be very lucky. He hated most publications in his field considering they all were ran by and pandered to light creatures. Hence the reason all his intelligence was hid away in an office in an insane asylum.
This late at night, none of his patients could be up. Regardless of that fact, he did not panic or even flinch when the door was opened. He could smell Jasper's venom a mile away. It was potent, unlike any vampire he'd encountered. His work partner wasn't just any old vampire. No vamp lives as long as he has, yet there he stood, flesh and blood.
"I've been thinking, Jasper." Beau removed his reading glasses, carefully folding them to set on top of the dark oak desk.
The warden grasped his cane tighter for support as he lowered himself into the chair beside the fire. He seeped a sigh, "That's never good."
"Hm, please, old friend," He replied, "I've always been interested in studying all religions and all Gods and Goddesses, but Christianity has been one practice that's intrigued me the most. I have never seen a religion, not in LaVey's, that is as arrogant and hypocritical. Lucifer was thrown from the Heavens for defying God and lying to his creations. In the eyes of a Christian, he is pure evil, yet Christians also believe God forgives all. They've done much worse than lie and they get forgiveness?
Their bible is full of horridness, yet so many creatures submit to it. It's not because we live in an evil world, it's not because these people are blind from the bad ways of their religion, but because our world has grown weak. No one is willing to defy Christianity because it's a monster."
"What are you getting at?" He asked.
"My new patient, he's treated as a monster when he isn't one. He's made mistakes, yes, but he's an honest man just trying to provide for his family. They beat him and cast him away because it was easy. It's easy to face a fear we can see, and it's easy to defeat when it's one man. When a force is unseen and it has taken control of millions, influencing them to lie, hate, and kill, that is a true monster that cannot be defeated. And that, it truly terrifies me."
"I never thought of you to be a man who could fear anything. I do not fear religion in itself, but I fear the ignorance it breeds. It creates the broken, but I suppose without lost souls, we would be out of a job."
He sighed, "That is an unfortunate reality. I fear for creatures like Croc, there is no place other than these walls where they are to be accepted."
