~The House of God~


~The Devils Hide~

The story opens with King riding hard through a familiar forest on a mountainside in a place known as the ‘DEVILS HIDE’, He became lost as the road vanished from sight. As King searches for a path he feels as if he was being watched! It seemed as if the trees themselves had eyes.

Suddenly the still night air filled with howls of many wolves…a howling so haunting that it chilled his bones. The next thing he knew he was surrounded by glowing yellow eyes… he thought he was about to die…when suddenly there was a beautiful sight, a wolf in a halo of light.

Morning slow came as the larger wolf chased off the other wolves! The angelic wolf had saved his life and without a word the wolf said follow me…

King feels an overwhelming urge to follow the beautiful wolf, so he did. Near the top the wolf stopped and King could see the village below, like dark decaying teeth, the village was deserted, the streets lay empty… the wolf moves on and the King follows until at last he come upon the most dark and forbidding church ever to scar the face of the planet, the HOUSE OF GOD.

Above the door to the old church is inscribed ‘This Place is Terrible’ and it was. King could feel distance thoughts inviting him in to sin and he wondered to himself if God was ever here at all! As he enters the church everything begins to change before his eyes into a place of glorious beauty, on one end of the church, facing east is a pulpit with a canopy portraying gargoyles in the sun and on the other side facing west is a pulpit with a canopy showing demons having fun. Next to the alter there was a little black devil carved out of dark stone. To one side there was a table laden with a feast of food and wine. The entire place was kept dimly lit by a few candles spread about the room.

Suddenly as he watched the wolf began to shed its skin, he grabs his silver crucifix for protection from whatever evil was to come next but dropped it in surprise when he saw what lay underneath the thick coat of fur was actually a beautiful women. She said her name was ANGEL and to King she was the most incredible women he had ever seen and for both of them it seemed it was love at first sight. For six days and six nights they filled the church with heavenly sin, making love in every way possible, joining body and soul until…

The early morning of the seventh day when King awoke to find Angel kissing the little Black Devil on the head, That damn little Devil that he hated so, for somehow he knew there was more to it then meets the eye. Somehow every time he looked at it he could feel an evil hatred coming from it…as if… it where Alive!

Later that same day as King and Angel are in the confessional playing a sexy game acting like he’s the priest and she is the sinner of all his dreams. Her face suddenly changes and her smile vanishes without a trace. She tells King that,
"nothing is forever" she said."nothing is forever, my dear. So many things are wrong in here, so many times I’ve lived in fear" She goes on to tell him, "A year ago…I signed a sacred Pact."she cries, "and if you love me so will you." She was terrified and trembling and he could tell it was not an act. as she continued, "The Pact is so powerful it leaves you no way out!" She looked up at him then with a desperate, hopeful look, "unless…unless within a year" She paused "unless what? What can save you from this terrible place?" King yelled overcome with fear and frustration at the thought of losing her, his sweetangel after all the lonely years… He would do anything to save her! "unless within a year someone else will sign it in blood!"

A chill runs through King as he slowly begins to see the truth. "What are you saying?" He asks in disbelief, "If you sign it now I may go free I’ll be able to leave as myself not in the form of a wolf like I’ve had to for the past year." though he knew what was coming his heart still soared at the thought of her being free from this place. "Unfortunately I would leave without my memory of this place, of the last year of my life or of…" She paused the tears streaming down her face as she drew closer to him, taking his hand she said. "I would have no memory of you or your noble sacrifice" she wept, "I would never see you again!" He took her in his arms, holding her tightly knowing that he could never let her go. Knowing that he would have to. He kisses her and tells her. "If I don’t sign the Pact then in seven days you will die before my very eyes so either way I’ll never she you again. But if I sign then I must stay, and only leave as a wolf for pray" he looks her in the eyes and says, "For me there is no choice I’ll not let you die in this evil place! You will be free and I will stay. So please my sweetangel fly away…fly away."

Alone in the church King slowly starts to lose his sanity! The long nights roaming the woods as a wolf stalking his pray the feel of his teeth tearing into the fresh of the small animals he prays on tearing out their throats and eating their entrails. Then the endless days in the church searching for some clue, some hope that there might be some way for him to leave this place before his year was up and he would have to find some poor soul to take his place or die an agonizing death. The memory of angel haunts him more and more each day and he knows it will haunt him till the day he dies…which was sooner then he realized. For as the days passed the heartache, isolation and he’s looming inevitable doom all became to much for him and he truly loses his mind. He begins to destroy the church smashing the mirrors, smashing them over and over until blood is running down his arms and dripping on the floor. He stops smashing the mirrors screaming out to God or Satan or whomever it is hiding in the shadows. He screams for help from anything that would take him from this wretched life…

Suddenly there’s a crashing sound and King slowly turns around and he see something move, a void of darkness in the floor, where the alter stood. He moves closer, the blood still running down he’s arms from all the cuts in his hands. A musty old smell rises up from the hole and he thinks he hears a sound coming up from the darkness below. At the same time he hears a bell ringing but he is all alone who could be ringing the bell? He knows now must be the time. He will find the secret of this place or he will die trying!

Armed only with a candle and his soul he set off to explore a hidden path that leads to an underground catacombs. Spiders and rats were everywhere and the shadows dance along the wall. He can just make out a cryptic message carved into the floor. As he follows the catacombs he looks into the little chambers all along the narrow halls to his horror he finds there all full of human bones! Finally he sees a light, he pushes some bones aside to find another chamber. This chamber had a glow to it and he could feel the evil energy stronger then before he thinks to himself that it might even be a doorway to another world. As his eyes adjust to the darkness he begins to see what looks like the Virgin Mary! A life size statue carved out of wood standing tall up against the far wall. Her face peeling from all the years that it had been down here. He wonders if it was just a statue or was it what he had been looking for all along? He starts to pick at the peeling face of the statue until he completely breaks away the face to find another one instead…

The face of a mummy appears as the bandages fall away… the face beneath is grotesque the face was dried and shriveled, the empty sockets of his eyes where sown shut and about its head he wore a crown of thorns! From the empty eyes came an entity of light pouring out towards him and he begins to run. He feels a cold wind from far beyond the dark chasing him through the catacombs and he runs even faster till finally he’s back in the church he dashes through hole in the floor just in time he turns around he can hear the wind from the catacombs as the magnificent blinding light floods out from the hole and the church blazes with a light that it had never known before.

The entity floated above him their contorted faces and bodies glowed and shimmered even brighter then the blinding light filling the church. The fear of dying was long gone but the terror that soon he would know the truth was heavy upon him. "YOU HAVE ENTERED WHERE NO HUMAN MUST GO YOU HAVE SEEN THE LIE. THE LIE ABOUT THE CROSS" They spoke in unison in a loud voice.

"I AM MANY… WE ARE ONE, THE HIGHEST. YOU’LL NEVER KNOW WHY WE KEPT HIM HERE THE ONE WHO DID NOT DIE ON THE CROSS. COULD IT BE THAT WE KEPT HIM AWAY FROM GOD, SO THAT HE MAY NEVER WALK THE EARTH AGAIN" their voices boomed on for some time, "GOD AND SATAN ARE JUST PUPPETS ON OUR STRINGS CREATING CONFLICT IN YOUR LITTLE HUMAN MINDS, KEEPING US ALIVE! IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO OR WHAT YOU THINK WE ARE ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU KNOW WE ARE GOD THE DEVIL, GOOD AND EVIL, WE’ER ALL THAT AND SO MUCH MORE!" king burned with rage over how these pompous, arrogant ‘gods’ played with the lives of all mankind! He stood before these ‘gods’ and challenged them to prove themselves to him! He screamed defiantly "Show to mankind that you really exist and then explain to us the meaning of chaos, give us reason to persist, to go on living through this hell on earth! All I want is peace of mind from all these non-existence gods. And I bet that not even you will ever understand the truth cause you are nothing but a puppet on even higher strings"King begins to climb the gray cold stairs, the stairs that lead to the tower of Hell! One by one he slowly ascends the stairs with rope in hand, lashing out at the shimmering ‘gods’. The realization that what man has believed for thousands of years has been all a game! That man has never truly known what lies beyond and after or before. We’ve created for our selves a belief system that’s based on a foundation of lies and half- truths, misinterpreted scriptures and blatant outright corruption. He screams to them, "Your unholy eyes I wanna sew them shut, oh you meaningless little god, and so I choose death over you!"Up the final stairs to the tower of hell he wraps the rope around his neck, there is no fear for this one has seen the truth and he knows… King cries out for the father of the universe and his final words where this place is terrible! And he dies….
