1:03

My dearest Elizabeth, this will be my last call to you.

1:07

They're on their way now. The authorities know about everything. I'm sheltered in the

1:12

crypt at St Sebastian's, I doubt they'll find me here during the evening service.

1:18

I just need to explain, I need you to know, I did it all for the Lord, I did it all in his name. I

1:28

told you about my visions, he appeared to me he told me this was the way my salvation, my purpose.

1:38

Abide with me, Lord, in this, my time of need. Guide my hand,

1:44

ensure my acts fulfill your glorious vision.

1:48

Oh Lizzy, if I hadn't fulfilled his wishes how would I have been able to live with myself?

1:56

My lord holds my hand steady as I complete his work. Lord, protect me as I fulfill your wishes.

2:06

His requests were not unreasonable. They started small but they grew. At first He only asked

2:15

for tokens, small trinket type offerings, possessions and icons of the anointed ones.

2:23

Yes, I may have pillaged sacred places and taken the symbols of faith, but the power the rabbis,

2:31

the priests the imams instilled in those items, that was the power my Lord required,

2:39

and as He began to wield that power my Lord began to require sustenance.

2:50

In the last few days I came to terms with the fact that His requests were sacrosanct,

2:56

He was not asking me to damage this earth but to save it through small violations of man's law.

3:04

He needed those souls to be reaped in His name. He needed their blood to be fed to His altar,

3:11

He needed my life, and their death, to be His.

3:17

I know now that it was my duty to listen to Him, my father, my prince, my morning star.

3:30

I will take my rightful seat at His right hand, I have enacted His will on earth like a son,

3:38

I have spread His truth, His wish, His will is done. I have cleansed and purged for Him,

3:46

I have delivered His demands and I will be delivered His wisdom and compassion. I will ascend

3:56

without the need for earthly possessions, or attachments. I owe my life to Him, I owe my

4:06

soul to Him, He is glorious, He is magnificent, His maleficence is necessary. The harvest was

4:18

tough. The five souls I collected were powerful and bore that power in their self-preservation.

4:28

The bishop was probably the most resistant and tried desperately, but with futility,

4:36

to prevent that furnace, those fires, from reaching him, from consuming him.

4:46

The embers of each house of worship acted as a flaming altar for my Lord. Each one burned

4:55

gave strength to Him, Beswicaan. I do not need you Lizzy, but I beg you understand that He

5:10

is the true creator and His is the only love I must ever have. He gave

5:18

this world its religions as a way to harness the power of worship. The spiritual leaders

5:25

gathered that faith on a regular basis in the names of false gods

5:30

so that Beswicaan could now harvest that power of deception as His own. Beswicaan's great deception

5:40

of so many souls for so many millennia will bring a lasting purge on this earth.

5:49

The time has come, they're here outside. Abide with me, Beswicaan, this is my end,

5:57

this is my devotion to you, the one true creator, the one, the only entity of the deep, thunderous

6:06

power of the sky, the shudder of the earth, this planet is your vessel and you shall break forth.

6:14

You will appear to them and they will know your glory. The molten rock that encases you

6:21

will be shattered and you shall be free. Come forth my Lord, come forth, come to me

6:28

now and your magnificence will shine forth. Let me ascend, to join you. Abide with me, Abide with me!
