Flashback - 1418

Cortona, Italy

Castle


Carlo was standing by a window, looking into the room at his master, a green, large demon.

Moloch spoke in Italian. "Carlo, caro mio. [Carlo, my dear one.]" Carlo walked in, over to Moloch, kneeling down. Moloch stepped over to him, putting his hand on his head. Mi ami? [Do you love me?] Ti daro tutto. [I can give you everything.] Tutto quello che desidero e il tuo amore. [All I want is your love.]"

Carlo nodded. "Tu hai il mio amore. [You have my love.]"

Moloch growled, quickly twisting Carlo's head, snapping his neck.

Church


The priest Thelonius was talking to a group of monks bearing torches. "E fuori. [He's out.] E il diavolo, Molocco. [It is the devil, Moloch.] E fuori nel mondo, facendo tante cose male. [He is out in the world, doing such bad things.] Abbiamo bisogno bi fare il circolo. [We need to form the circle.]" The monks gathered around Thelonius as he opened a large book. The pages of the book were blank. "Per potere di questo circolo di Kayless... [By the power of the circle of Kayless...]"

Castle


Moloch smiled, letting Carlo's body fall. His expression changed when he realized something was wrong, looking up, surprised. "No!"

Church


Thelonius continued the ceremony. "Per potere di questo circolo di Kayless, ti commando! [By the power of the circle of Kayless, I command you!] Vieni! [Come!]" In the castle, Moloch began to scream angrily. "Ti commando, vieni! [I command you, come!]" In the castle, Moloch screamed even more loudly in terror and pain. "Vieni! [Come!]" In the castle, Moloch continued to scream, bursting into millions of tiny particles. In the church, the particles fell into the book as the camera followed them down. "Vieni, demonio! [Come, demon!] Vieni! [Come!]" As the particles fell into the book, an ancient script appeared. When the pages were filled, Thelonius closed the book, stepping over to a table, putting the book into a heavy wooden box. "Preghiamo che questo libro e mai letto piu. [Pray that this accursed book is never again read.]" There was a shot of the priest from inside the box. "Che il demonio Molocco e mai lasciato piu fuoni nel mondo. [Lest the demon Moloch be loosed upon the world.]"

Thelonius put the lid over the box.
