Kapitel 411: Meeting Again [1]

Standing before the gathered members, clad in robes of deep indigo, Cardinal Hamsia raised a Chalice in the air. 

"In his name, we seek not only the gift of immortality but the wisdom to embrace our everlasting journey."

His voice echoed throughout the dimly lit room. 

In unison, the cadets and priests chanted softly, their voices harmonizing. 

"Mortum, grant us life beyond the grave,

In shadows and light, our souls you save.

Through time's endless weave, we rise and we bend,

With your boundless power, our spirits transcend."

Leon and Evelyn stood next to each other while reciting the chants they had been taught since childhood. Having learned the entire chant from a young age, they knew every line by heart. 

This wasn't the first mass they had attended.
