Chapter 266: Evil (1)
Phillip noticed Andre’s interest in the markings he drew on the walls.
"They help me to think. I have travelled far across the kingdom and learned new things. There is so much more to this world than we have been taught, and finding these markings has helped me to see this," Phillip explained, intrigued by what he wrote.
Phillip would soon pass one the markings to the others once he felt they were ready for the new knowledge.
"What are they? I have never seen anything like this in the church," Andre said, curious where Phillip found them. He was most concerned that they might have belonged to a creature.
"I have started to draw them on the churches I have visited to keep them safe. They are markings tied to a being far bigger than us. There is a great force helping us to reach our goal, and they speak to me," Phillip said, feeling powerful for the task given to him.
Phillip walked toward one of the walls and touched the markings he had made. "I have been trying to understand what these markings mean. If you ever come across any books or scrolls with these markings, bring them to me."
Andre was surprised to hear Phillip was working with someone else. The church served one God, and all along, Andre thought Phillip was doing the same.
"Is this being someone we can trust? The purebloods have tried to fool us before," Andre said, taking a step back toward the door as Phillip approached him.
"You think I would easily be tricked by purebloods? I have been studying those creatures for years to not fall victim to their tricks. The holy water is gone, and we have very few holy weapons, thanks to the priests before us not succeeding in their war. I had to turn to someone," Phillip revealed.
