《Painting Horrors》Church of Modesty
Advertisement
As Gabriel was looking for a place to rest, the parents of the siblings went to knock on the door and when they didn't get an answer they forcefully opened the door and what they saw shocked them. The room was a mess it looked like there was a battlefield that happened, the strangest thing that happened was that only furniture were destroyed, there didn't seem to be any blood or any of the sort that would help identify the culprits. They were scared because their children went missing, "Honey, what do we do our babies are gone." The mother sobbed as she barely uttered those words out. "Don't worry, I'll get the church, we've been long time follower of them, I'm sure they'll help us with this problem." The husband said comfortingly to his wife and he looked quite calm at this moment but this was just a facade to make sure the wife didn't feel any worse.
"Followers of the divine, you must make sure that you follow the rule of Mercy. 1. Always live modestly, don't over eat, don't over drink, and don't over spend. 2. Help those that you can possibly help in need, abandoning another would make it so the divine would abandon you. 3. Live a life with modest sin, we know that you'll eventually sin in life but keep it in a modest level." As the deacon of the church was preaching the rules of Mercy to the masses inside the church, he notified the workers of the church to collect Caesar coins from the people. The masses were only allowed to donate Caesar coins that were either bronze or silver, you couldn't donate any gold Caesar or else that would be breaking the first rule of Mercy which is to live a life of modesty.

As people were donating bronze Caesar coins, the deacon noticed that a couple who looked quite distressed, donated 3 Caesar Silver coins. This was quite a big amount of money, as it would be the worth of 3 years of working and not spending it on anything. As the old deacon noticed this he walked toward the couple and asked them, "Followers the divine, what seems to be causing you such distress?" The couple looked at the deacon in his eyes, the deacon's wrinkles on his face didn't make him look ugly, it made him look very mature and wise. "Oh great deacon, it has been a disaster for me and my wife, we woke up this morning just to see our children gone. The weird thing was that there seemed to be quite a big fight in there but there was no blood or any signs that there were people who were fighting in the first place." The husband told the deacon with quite a gloomy look. The deacon was shocked when he heard this, but he soon fixed his expression and told them, "Don't worry loyal followers, we'll send our devout to handle the situation." As the couple heard him say that, their expression brightened up but they were still worried. "Everyone, church hours is up please leave the divine temple orderly." The deacon clapped his hand and said this still in his kind and mature voice but it made the people feel like they had to obey his order.
As the deacon watched everyone leave he went out the church and walked behind the church's building. He hit a brick and the brick moved back and a hidden passage opened behind the church, as he walked down the ominous stairs he was in deep thought. "Who was the one that attacked the couple's children and why did it seem like there was such a big battle just to get a couple of normal humans." As the deacon was in thought he reached the end of the passage, he saw 5 teens with the robes of Mercy on them. The robes of mercy didn't look any fancy in fact it looked quite ordinary but this was the formal attire of the church because they still followed the rule of living modestly. While the 5 teens were playing around they noticed the deacon and their expression turned serious. "Devout, there seems to be someone who is abusing his gifted power to harm the innocents, I need you to investigate and capture this sinner." As he said this he told the teens in the room what the couple told him and left. The teens were in thought as they heard this, "Well it seems like we have something to do after a long time, it'll be a good way to relieve our boredom." A husky masculine voice said and the teens all nodded in agreement, "Alright everyone, prepare your supplies we need to catch a sinner." A soothing voice said this but all the teen's face didn't ignore it in fact they seemed like they were hearing an order from a leader. "We'll go catch this sinner at dusk, so we don't alert the citizens." As the voice said this everyone in the room hurried to get their supplies. 'It will not be peaceful tonight.' The person with the soothing voice thought of this, and she looked at the people in the room and hoped everyone could come back alive with no problems.
