Then, he ordered his flock to forget all about the tragedy under threat of excommunication. And to those few who dared to claim that it was heresy to abandon these relics inmundane territory, the Abbot replied: "Know that Our Lord has come to me in avision and told me that the depths of the river are also holy, for they have neverbeen soiled by the Original Sin. Thus, the holy incantation "Duo Crur Bestia" willprotect the metal prison from profanation for all eternity."DUOCRURbESTIAThen came the time to scatter the Demon's unholy remains throughout theKingdom, so that no one could ever revive it. A conclave was decided, duringwhich the Abbot of St. George named the locations where the foul bones wouldbe buried.Brothers, I have found these forgotten relics.They lie beneath the thames, at thepoint known as the Stretched Elbow.Once they are on board, deliver them to your brothers who are awaiting onthe shore. They will take them to theElder Star's traveling wagon. Train636, wich already carries two relics,will depart from London at the ninthhour.The time is near, my brothers. The Messengerwill soon be born again! the Cardinal Seven thus were chosen, seven holy places capable of containing the demon's evilemanations. Then began the secret processions that would lead the dismembereddemon to oblivious internment.Each holy place received its diabolical relic. Each, except one. For at thethirteenth hour of the first day of the journey, the group carrying the beast's hindlegs was seized by a sudden and terrible tempest, their ship sank in the middle ofthe Thames, and all hands were lost.When he learned of the horrible tragedy, the Abbot of St. George ordered hismonks to search for the missing relics. But no trace of the ship was ever found.PLAY AGAINDRHZOUBVKETAJYFGCWMSIWould you like to play the Timed version of the game ?YesNoWould you like to play again ?To be continued...
