[Suzerain of Sheol]

Father Heinrich takes in the presence of this newcomer with no real reaction, allowing him to parade his bravado without interruption. When it truly comes down to it, the Executor cares almost nothing for the desecration of sacred ground. Under the Eighth Sacrament, victory in this war surpasses anything in Heaven or Earth. Were it not for Ruler's compulsion, their corpses would already be profaning this hallowed hall.

As the young man settles in, Heinrich's gaze snaps to him, predatory and restrained. As he begins to quote Scripture at the blatantly-heretical mage, he briefly entertains the thought of what sort of devastating weaponry he could call forth from the Black Bible with this particular verse.

He paces around the table as he pronounces. "And he said to me, 'I shall give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of Life. He who is victorious shall inherit all this, and I shall be his God, and he shall be my Son. But to the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile and abominable, the sorcerers, the murderers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion shall be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the Second Death.'"

He holds no illusions that this brash man will hold any regard for his words, but at least now he shall know the why of his impending destruction.
