Azel was at the first seat of a very interesting play. He was looking at both actors with interest. As he read Mark Stewart’s mind, he found that he wasn’t even shocked by what was happening.

Mark Stewart was… hurt. Deep within himself, he felt hurt by seeing someone so pious and chaste fall into depravity.

He then remembered that she appeared to have been okay that morning. ‘What could have changed in such a short time? I must save her from herself…but how do I do that?’

Mark Stewart the closed his eyes and forgot the naked approaching Sister Martha as he made a quick prayer in his mind. “Lord. I am in the presence of one of your lost lambs. She used to be so pure and chaste that I do not understand how this could’ve happened other than blaming the devil. Help me bring her back on the right path so that she can come back in your flock…”

After he finished praying, he looked her right in the eyes, waiting.

It wasn’t long before a trace of clarity appeared in sister Martha’s eyes. Her clouded mind was refreshed anew and she became herself again.

She looked at herself and didn’t understand what was happening. With a yelp she covered her most important parts as she ran to her clothes and wore them in record time.

“I…I don’t understand what happened…Mr. Stewart…I…am not like that.” She was crying while sitting on floor as all her strength had left her when she thought about the situation.

“I know. You don’t have to explain yourself to me. This wasn’t your fault.” Mark said as he stood up and went help her sit at a chair.

She was still trembling as she sat in the chair and she was avoiding to look at Mark’s face.

“When did you start having those impure thoughts?” Mark inquired.

“When I was showing Azel around. Later I ran towards my quarters and prayed with all my strength, but it was like I was under attack by an invisible force. That’s all I remember about today.” She said with a shivering voice.

Seeing her in that state, Mark then said to her, “Let’s pray. After we’re done, go sleep. I promise tomorrow it’ll be like none of this happened.”

So…they prayed for a whole hour.

When she had calmed down and was about to leave, Mark asked, “What were you talking about with Azel today?”

“It was mostly about you.” Then she left.

Azel could’ve been angry after seeing his plan fail, but he was now smiling because he liked a challenge every now and then.

Once, he had a group of nuns rape a pious priest.

Once, he had a monsignor steal from the donations of his believers and then spend it in brothels.

Once, he had a nun kill.

Once, he had…

Many members of the clergy had been sent to hell because of him and to date he had made two saints fall into depravity. Now, he needed to add another one to that growing list.
