Chereads / The Sanctifier Of Souls / Chapter 2 - Chapter 1

Chapter 2 - Chapter 1

At the abode of judgement, there was a tall, broad shouldered and long bearded old man wearing a golden crown and round spectacles with chains. He was wearing an ancient white robe and was vigorously turning pages of the book in front of him. "Hail your Excellency" shouted the grim reaper. The judge (old man) lifted his head and glanced at Roberto through his round glasses. He took three cards from the table and threw them towards Roberto. Two of those cards repelled and went back to the table while the third card landed on Roberto's head. The judge moved his fingers and muttered a spell and the card flew right into the judge's hand. "Employment" exclaimed the judge. All the people sitting in the hall stood and stared at Roberto in awe. The Enochlophobic Roberto gets anxious and covers his face. The judge notices his reaction and gestures everyone to settle down. Just then an eagle flies towards the judge and gives him a scroll. The judge glances at the scroll with a serious look and turns towards Roberto. The judge then waves his wand and two eagles appear and carry Roberto into another chamber. Totally perplexed, Roberto looks around, the room was filled with different kind of birds in cages, and he doesn't understand what was happening. The eagles open all the 20 cages and the flock of birds flies like a tornado! Roberto ducks and the birds fly above his head. 19 birds fly back into their cages while one bird, a scarlet macaw lands on his shoulders. A bright light passes through the room and Roberto shuts his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, he is back at the abode of judgement. The judge looks at him and stands up. "The sanctifier of souls" yelled the judge. All the others stand up from their seats and bow! "Hail the lonely sanctifier" they yell on the top of their voices. Roberto gets startled and frightened at the attention he's receiving. The judge takes control of the situation and silences the entire crowd. One of the ministers sitting at the abode of judgement gets up and asks, "What if he turns out like the previous diabolus?" the judge glared at the minister and yelled at him to be silent and not to speak something that should remain unspeakable in the three worlds. Roberto didn't know what was happening and who this so called "diabolus" was. The judge, noticing Roberto's confused state ordered him to follow and also stated that he meant no harm. He took Roberto to an isolated area and shouted, "Resurgemus!" As soon as he uttered this word, a palace started to emerge from the ground. It was a large golden palace. There were silver fractals all around and a large chandelier hung on the top, at the center of the dome. "Tribunalis to my chamber" yelled the judge waving his wand and golden stairs emerged at his foot. The judge climbed onto the second step and told Roberto to step up. As soon as Roberto stepped, it moved and took them to a room on the top. They both went into the room and the door closed. Roberto asked a bunch of queries running in his mind and the judge listened to them patiently. After his list of queries is done, the judge stated, "I don't know how you ended up at the abode of judgement, as your lifetime isn't still completed. However, at the abode of judgement, there are three diverged ways: the hell, where you atone for your sins, the reincarnation, where you begin your next life and employment, where you work for heaven and complete your missions." Roberto nodded his head as if he understood everything and asked "Who is this diabolus?" The judge stared at him and said, "Diabolus means devil. He was the previous sanctifier and he committed the ultimate sin. Since then the scarlet macaw lying on your shoulders stayed in its cage and never came out." "What sin did he commit?" asked Roberto. "Curiosity killed the cat. Never ask anyone about the unspeakable" replied the judge and before he could ask any more questions, the judge waved his wand and a black wand with silver carving landed in Roberto's hands and the next moment Roberto was in another room. There were three people chatting with each other. As Roberto entered the room, they stared at him and one of them said, "oh my god! It's the sanctifier! One of them ran to welcome him. She was having black hair and pupils. There was another blonde girl with deep blue eyes and a guy with red hair and black pupils. The guy with red hair came forward and said "hey dude! I'm Lucas, we're roommates!
