"Cough…" Adam went behind a corner and tried to cough out the smoke from his lungs.
He then looked back towards the smoking house and wondered what the hell was going on.
'I know that others have claimed to have seen God's pure light, but I have never heard of this happening.
'The light was warm and inviting, like the rumors say, but why was it also painful to look at? Also, why did the light cause the explosion?'
He didn't know the answers to any of that, but he felt like there was something else to that ceremony that he hadn't thought of yet.
"Hey, you there!"
A shout came out of nowhere.
Adam looked towards the end of the alley and saw a group of armored individuals approaching him. They looked like knights with their swords drawn.
'Watchmen of Dawnwatch, this is bad…'
Adam slowly backed off, thinking about his options.
