Taming the Devil

[clonewar]

Nataniel, Nathan to his friend was a white cloak of the first order protector of the relic of St peter and Sacrament of the faith. The old small church was being torn down he had one final job to cleanse a demon. The small room the church had been built around was hew from a single stone and tree. "Demon you know i have come for you". The room was deep in the earth at the base of a hill sized rock. The demon was chained to it covered in prayers so old that they had turned into fossils.

The demon was covered in only a loincloth his face was that of a young man his body that of a god. "I must cleanse you or destroy you sending you're soul to hell" He placed the cross on his chest it sank into the flesh burning leaving behind an intricate tattoo the rosary beads sank into his flesh emerging at valorous points he forced the last into his mouth. He stood up waving his hands the chains vanished. If he was wrong the demon could tear him to pieces in seconds he had to be right.

Jericho had been chained to that tree for so many years he had quit counting them. He was deamed evil by the holy society of hypocrytes and for his supposed crimes he was punished and put there. His crimes as they were called were nothing more serious then being attracted to a human that he had saved from the jaws of death. Fitting reward, it seemed that one good deed was enough to comdemn a being to 1000 years of torment. His long silver hair fell covering his face and his body ached from being locked into place for so many years

When the young priest walked in and carried through with his cleansing he was confused . When he pressed the rosary into his chest the burning made him want to scream but only a low growl could escape his mouth. He tried to spit the last bead at the priest but it slipped down his throat making him caugh and causing his throat to burn. When the seal broke and he as free he fell to his knees weak from his imprisonment. His scarlet red eyes looked up and locked onto the young one."What is you plan priest? I could kill you without thinking twice you know that right?" Even though he was not necessarely evil the years had made him bitter towards this religious

Nathan had hair that was so blond it was golden a radiant hair that covered his head like a helm of old times. A lock came over his left eye exposing only the right blue orb to the demon he was tall an unusually thin. He coughed a little he was not a well being his hand came away covered in blood it was normal. He held up the demons chin placing a cross on it burning his skin with the mark it faded slwoly. You know i could cause you great pain" he slid his hand over his chin feeling the demon.

He made the man stand slowly feeding him energy stored in the plant hid behind his back life could neither be created nor destroyed. "I an Nathan i must purify you of you're sins before i can release you". He turned around dropping the dead plant he began to walk snapping his fingers caused the beads to glow red like coals. "if you try to escape, hurt me or any other i will not hesitate to inflict pain" he continued to walk climbing the spiral metal stairs to where the church had stood.

Jericho sniffed the blood on his hand and his eyes softened only for a moment. The young man he had saved coughed like that. As quick as the moment of softness came it was gone and the demon was shocked by another searing attack of pain by the cross being pressed to his head. He growled and stood with the Priests hand. "Yes I realize you can cause me pain." He could feel energy returning to him and in a sick kind of way he was greatfull to the young man for giving him this back but it did little to cool his hatred's flame.

He laughed his voice sounding like a melody. "Sins?!? That is what they call a demon showing affection to a human? They label me a sinner and lock me to a tree to centuries becuase of love." He shook his head but winced when the beads burned against his skin. He followed the priest listening to his threats of inlicting pain. He would not hurt anyone who did not deserve to be hurt. In fact the only being he truly wished to kill was that damn priest who locked him up, but he had most likely been dead for a while by this point in time. "So what is it you intend to do to me boy? Dip me in holy water, maybe pray for me?" He laughed again this time in a mocking manner

The small tent was covered in prayers he moved slowly sitting on a long low slung couch removing his shirt. "I don't know i was more a, well clerk at my mission so i have never purified anything' his back was covered in hard scales of stone. the stone marked not only his skin but penetrated his organs as well. Each day the stone grew deeper until one day they would take his life far to early for his own taste. "So i know nothing about how to purify a demon" he looked back at the demon the stones had grown again.

"You know you can count on me to give it my best shot" he placed his hand on his shoulder as her read from the book. Step one a demon must confess his sins, well he had already done that he smiled looking further into the book, Step two a demon must acknowledge why he had committed the sin in the first place. "why did you commit the sin of lust" he coughed again the stones in his lounges rubbing against each other. He smiled he was a very bad priest but a very good clerk he looked forward to going home.

Jericho stared in wonder at the stones growing along his back. He was facsinated as to how the church would allow one of its members to suffer so severly. He reconized that alement and he knew how painfull it was. "You were a mission boy and they assigned you to purify a powerfull demon. The concept is laughable." He watched with some amusment as the young priest read through the how to guide for purifying a demon. When he asked him about his list Jericho grew angry and wanted to lunge at the young boy but he settled for growling."It was not lust!" He snarled"I loved him! I wanted to make him happy and make sure the he was protected from a life of persecution for being different

Nathan coughed again he looked through the Demonia a manual for demons that covered sin as well as excommunication. "Here it is if a demon will not admit his sin he must be tempted" he as a naive priest who was born into the church he looked it up sin of lust the desire for the flesh he blushed this would be far harder then he though. He leaned forward kissing the demon on the lips closing the book. He moved back and looked down at the book there was a section on how to seduce a demon. "Do you like my body" he asked deciding to wing it he stood up his shirt open in the front he lowered his pants.
