His face darkens at this news.... "This is most likely the work of the Apophites... they love to kill and cause destruction. Younger ones are tasked with 'proving themselves' to their order."
I was afraid this might happen. But to warn you was to put you in even greater danger....but let's back up a bit.
"I am pleased to make your acquaintance and welcome you on behalf of the Concilio de Arcana. Three years ago, the Pope and Cardinals decided that the current dangers across the world demanded a more "aggressive" response. This of course still had to be in line with the Church's stance against killing... until it realized that these creatures are often abominations of evil and are not even alive."
"He goes over and pours a glass of wine. "I was in Seminary in Brooklyn at the time and was just getting ready to start at my parish. I received an invitation to join this group, based on my mastery of ancient languages and interest in archaeology. As my colleagues and I researched magic and the occult, we found much more that we did not understand. In an effort to change this, and hopefully do something useful, we reached out to several other magic dedicated organizations around the world."
.... as if on cue, the skies outside start to darken and a storm is coming on... (though not quite as "menacing" the other day)
"When we realized that this Order of Apophis was at the heart of most of the disturbances and creation of undead monstrosities, we knew we had to look at them closer."
....he looks over at you "this is when we heard about what had happened in Egypt a few years ago...your country has more of a connection to this than you can possibly imagine."
