The Kommend Prophezeiungen *revvel* pt.3

The Sesselin Sisters, both vampire and live in the wilderness away from any civilization. Now both of them were referring to Revvel as one who is chosen to be this wanderer of the night, a vampire. Somehow, this new idea which was introduced to him moments ago seemed somehow right, something in his mind wanted it and told him to take it. But another part of his mind screamed a muted scream, with a message of fear towards them.

Looking into their eyes Revvel inquired to himself what next to say, what it is he should do his next action.

"Go, think, and consider. Go on with what you must do now. We shall come when it is time, and you shall know when we come." The both spoke in an eerie unison. Staring into the black foreboding darkness that seeped from their eyes they faded into the cloak of the night leaving Revvel in the night forest. A soft wind picked up, whistling through and around the branches of the trees, winding around Revvel wrapping him in its autumn grasp. Then the darkness began to lift and small beads of light began to as a blur in the distance and came into his vision. A short row of candle lit lamps lined a cobblestone road. Beyond that was a small chapel and short wooden buildings, each of them had the sign of the church. A circle with three spheres in the middle and two staffs crossing the middle of the circle; it was the abbey that he was on his way to.

Revvel traveled down the cobblestone road reaching the abbey entrance which was formed by a small stone wall that surrounded the abbey. He saw two women standing outside the chapel doors, both dressed in their white ceremonial gowns. Revvel approached the two and one spoke to him.

"Do you have business here stranger?" An old scratchy voice asked him. She looked up to him with shadow covering the majority of her face, only the end of her wrinkled chin extruded from the shadows under the gowns hood.

"I am looking for Sister Adrie." He responded.

"Sister Adrie waits in the chapel for you. Praise the three is with you." She whispered from the shadows under her hood.

Revvel walked past the two and pushed upon the chapel door. The chapel as lavished with many paintings, portraits and statues. Five pews lined each side of the chapel; each of them had four of the holy book, "The Coming" which was also known as "The Kommend" to others. A woman in another ceremonial gown sat on her knees singing a quiet hymn. Revvel approached her and sat two pews away from the front on the left. He waited, observing the paintings, some of them he had seen long ago in the church orphanage.

The women finished her hymn and stood as she kept her hands latched together. "How may I help you brother?" She asked without looking to him.

"I am seeking Sister Adrie."

"And you have found her; do you have a message for me?"

"A brother has a request." He said, remembering that's what the cloaked man had told him.

Sister Adrie stood finishing a prayer and she turned to face Revvel. The shadow under the hood wasn't as covering as the old women outside, but the eyes were still covered. Sister Adrie came closer to Revvel letting him see her closely. She had a thin face with smooth skin that blended with her thin skin colored lips. "Heresy has taken root near the abbey and I wish for you to cleanse the heretic camp which lies north of here, it is an hour's walk. You will silence the heretics with the blessings of the three. You can find the path to the heretic camp at a fork in the road that heads north, an extra path made by feet heads through the fork; they are hidden by the trees." She held up a gold piece for Revvel to see. "You shall be paid eighty gold pieces for your completion, do you accept?"

"Yes I accept." He answered immediately.

"Good, go in the afternoon tomorrow, for now, sleep." She turned away from him and sat back onto her knees at the chapel front and began singing another hymn.

Revvel left the chapel and the old women stopped him as he exited the chapel arch.

"Go to the cottage behind the church, your quarters are set up. Thank you for the help and the three is with you."

Revvel thanked her and headed to the cottage. It was small but decent, a small bed, food and an outhouse nearby. He removed his shirt and hung it on the back of a chair by its collar. He stretched for a few minutes then planted himself on top of the bed covers. Closing his eyes he ran through what he had to do tomorrow over and over until he had stamped it into his brain…

Revvel woke startled and found himself in another place. There were many other beds, each with small footlockers and each bed was well taken care of, each cover neatly folded and each pillow sat perfectly in the middle top of each bed. The place was familiar but no name came to him. Revvel realized that nobody else was asleep in this place but him, he stood and found he was still in his clothing. Brushing himself off he headed towards the only door which was at the other end of the room. He moved towards it but never getting closer. He began to run and it stayed where it was. The windows became foggy and the room grew darker. Boards from the outside of the windows slammed onto the outsides choking light from the room as Revvel rushed with all his might towards the door. The room became dark and then a putrid smell came to his nostrils. The rotting smell filled the room as Revvel slowed and began to gag on the smell. Strings of light broke through the cracks of boards outside the windows and began to fade. The smell became stronger and Revvel wanted to cover his nose but couldn't move his hands. He felt the room curve as his vision moved across the room and then came across the dead rotting body of a child. He tried to scream as the rotting body stood off the side of the bed and approached him. The rotting child's cheeks were gone and much of the skin was blackened or eaten away from decomposition. There were no eyes and the teeth had fallen out with time. The remaining hairs were thin and limp as the body was also frail and rotted. The rotted child reached towards Revvel and everything disappeared as the cottage surroundings came back into view.
