Bloodcurdling screams echoed through the heavy double doors of the church sanctuary.
A sacred space, now desecrated by the sounds of agony and despair. Those trapped inside wailed with unrestrained horror, their cries piercing the silence of the hallowed halls. Outside, two guards stood at attention, their expressions etched with confusion and unease.
"What's happening in there? Should we check?" one of the guards whispered nervously, gripping his spear tighter. His face was pale, his voice trembling with apprehension. Whatever was causing the screams inside, it was beyond anything he could imagine. The church was supposed to be a sanctuary of peace and divine strength, yet the cries from within spoke of torment far removed from anything holy.
