"Dad, they took Light away!" Eris panics as Loren comes to calm her down.
"Don't worry, everything is going as planned."
"Planned?"
"Mhm, Light being taken was part of the plan. I put a hidden tracking spell on him so we can find out where he is." Loren consoles while searching for the mana trace in the surrounding area. 'I can finally get rid of those rats.'
"Uhuh, so you used Light as bait."
"Not at all, it was just the most convenient thing to do."
"Dad..."
"What is it?"
"Is Light really your son?"
"...."

"Ugh, where am I?"
"Well, hello there little one. I am Enoch, the first Apostle of God."
"God's Apostle?" Light asks as he cannot comprehend as to why God's Apostle would want to kidnap him. 'Is this a new scam I never heard about, because this is quite extreme for someone who wants money.'
"Yes child, we the Apostles of God follow our God's desire to free the world from its shackles of the abyss. Ever since we have been sealed within the shackles of the abyss, we have been searching for a person. Someone that has the power to release the seal surrounding the abyss, and we believe that you are the one that can set everyone free."
With a calm mind, Light thinks about what course of action would be the best. He has no idea as to where he is, in addition to what exactly they are after, even the fate of his sister is unknown and worrying to him.
"I'll help you out, but in exchange you'll answer some of my questions."
"Okay..."
"First question, where are we?"
"We are underneath the Duke's mansion, inside the basement."
Surprised about where he was at, Light remembers the rumors he heard inside the castle. "I heard from the maids that this place is cursed, Ohhhh, I understand now."
"Yes, we told our spies inside the castle to spread information about a cursed basement inside the castle to prevent your servants from entering." Enoch is surprised by the intelligence of the child in front of him. 'Is he really just a kid or am I just thinking too much?'
"Second question, what do you want from me?"
"I want your blood."
"Excuse me?"
"Your blood is the catalyst to opening the seal."
"Mind if I ask how exactly you will take my blood out." Sweating from the thought of having his blood drained by a certain instrument, all the blood drains from his pale face. After suffering from the hands of a certain wolf with a certain tool to drain blood, Light has always had a phobia of needles and syringes.
"Obviously, we'll use a syringe to take the blood out, don't tell me you're actually scared of that."
"N-n-no, I'm not scared of such tools."
Noticing the Horrified look of the boy, Enoch lets out a chuckle. 'I was thinking too much, he's just a child that's acting tough in a scary situation.' Enoch, done messing with the kid in front of him, decides to answer the question seriously. "We have a sword that automatically draws the blood of its wielder. All you have to do is hold it for a couple of seconds and we'll let you go. We wish to do no harm to others and only intend to help the inhabitants of this world."
"So, you'll let me go after you obtain my blood.
"You have my word."
"Okay, Give me the sword." Feeling suspicious as to how the sword can take the blood of its wielder. "Spikes won't come out the handle, right?"

'What is this smell, how can someone's blood smell this good? Why does it make me want to take a bite out of him, ssp, ssp." Due to the euphoric smell of his blood, Enoch slowly falls into temptation. "It won't hurt to take a bite, just a bite."
"Wait, wait, wait, what are you doing!" Light starts to panic as he notices the intense desire within the man's eyes. Light recognized the look in those eyes, as a certain wolf in sheep's clothing had the same exact look when attempting the act of drawing blood. "I shouldn't have trusted what you said, you guys are just a group of bloodsucking perverts. Light points the sword towards the fiendish man completely different from his holy counterpart. "Stay back or I'll use this."
"Stay calm child, it'll be over in an instant."
"Nooooo! Someone help!"
A figure breaks through the door, entering the room with a cold look in his eyes.
"You dare to harm my child."
