I once id my eyes upon a magnificent creature, a work of art if I must say. It happened after I sent one of my coworker, who has a tendency to set anything she sees on fire to investigate. That accursed woman never listen to a world I say, quite rich for someone who get consumed so easily by an ability so trivial. I clearly remembered sending her to scout out new "apostles" . What was my surprise when this sad excuse for a woman presented herself with nothing to praise her for.

  Still, I am a priest and as the Father would say, you must forgive the mistakes of others and guide them to a better path.

  After all, the more who partake in our cause, the more it forces humanity to open their eyes to the truth.

  Regardless, I remember when she found that foul mix between a human and a paranormal being. Such a magnificent yet repugnant creature. It disgusts me that it calls itself human and woman alike. The Father would never approve of such vile mix...

  However, as I am ever so generous, I shall approve it. Oh, forgive me, Father, for my curiosity outwits even your whims. As, I know you'll forgive me, you always do.

  After all, you blessed me with this cross shaped mark on my right hand.

  "Why are you twisting your body like that, Sacerdote ? I don't even know why I put up with your shit. I wish peque?a bruja was here. It's way more fun to mess with her than to spend time with you guys."

  "If you like that witch so much, why don't you marry her ?"

  "You should be careful what you say, bitch, one wrong move and I burn you alive."

  "Seems like you don't remember how that ended for you the st time you said that, you slut ."

  "How original, the virgin calling the person with experience a slut. Any other creative insults ?"

  She immediately put María in her pce with her ability. Outright stopping her fire and putting her back on the church's bench without a single touch. To be honest, why does that mistake keeps provoking her, the ability to produce fire isn't comparable to the manipution of reality most of us do. Seems like her head has gotten so big that she forgot she's the weakest here.

  "Anyhow, where's ******* ?"

  "She said she couldn't come to the meeting cause she had homework."

  "I said *******, not Sally."

  "Oh."

  "Homework, lmao . That red bagpack is so funny to look at , why is a kid even an apostle to begin with ? I bet her mommy doesn't even know she's part of a cult."

  "I hate to agree with you, Mierda but you have a point."

  "What do you mean "Mierda"! You know full well my name is María ! I'll burn that shit mouth of yours, Lucee ! Maybe you would finally shut the fuck up after I do that !"

  "So uncouth..."

  Both their eyes were fixated on me, as I slowly approached my hand between both of them.

  "Alright, listen, dude, I'm sorry, don't do it again."

  "Please, I don't wanna experience that again."

  "Too te. Not only does that thing over her keeps insulting this sacred pce with her nguage, clothes and behaviour but the other one dare question the truths of our Lord."

  "Dude, you know we aren't blessed by "this one" like you. Get a grip."

  That was the st words she said before I turned her and the other into a pile of bloods and organs.

  "I think you'll stay like that for 10 minutes to reflect on your crimes."

  The thrill about this power the lord blessed me with is that I don't have to kill sinners to make them feel all the pain they deserve.

  My authority as an apostle of faith is truly absolute.

  "Please, feel free to remember the peace for all humanity our organisation longs for. A world without pain, where those disgusting beings cease to exist."

  Such is my Faith.

  I can't wait to dissect you and rid the world of humans of people like you, Lilenbergh Heisenberg.

  Oh, seems like you made it, little miss Sally. How was the homework ?

  "Oh, that ? Teacher didn't give Sally a good grade, so Sally turned teacher all red, like you told her. It was funny, her head turned into pretty confettis. Why did the others leave and scream though ? Sally made a show with the teacher for them."

  This child is the apostle of a weird entity, I should be careful how I approach her. She doesn't even seem to remember she killed her own family and that weird thing pretending to be her mom is the manifestation of the God who handed her her powers.

  She doesn't even seem to be affected by my ability. I'd rather not mess with whatever that thing is.

  "Well, Sally just wanted to say hi. Ask me if you need anything, Mister Priest but tomorrow please. Sally's going home to take a nap."

  "But the meeting isn't over yet."

  I was suddenly forced to bow down, as her voice completely changed and the real Sally spoke. After all, the incident I mentioned earlier with her parents happened 70 years ago. Most of the time, her alter ego outright suppresses the real her but she stays terrifying, other times her power leaks outside of her mental space and the real her makes her presence known. She truly is terrifying when that happens, as even my abily who usually work on everyone in the first pce just ends up vanishing in her presence.

  "I told you I'm going to take nap. Bother me again while I'm busy and I will do the same to you as you did to them."

  "I understand ..."

  "Now leave me alone, I'm leaving ."

  Still, I prefer to have her on my side than not.
