they
still agreed for another war. Looming inside their brains, which
helped them make the decision to battle again, was the fear that
Satan would be furious with them if they ignored and didn’t
attack.
     
    Hoidrious grinned inwardly as he reminded himself about how easy Stage
One in his own plan had been. He felt sure that soon he would
become the new rightful leader of the coven and Rex would be forced
to step down.
     
    Rex, unaware of his seditious thoughts, then
paused for a moment to let his coven’s members express themselves.
He then held his hand up for silence, and as everyone quieted down,
he continued:
     
    ‘And when my warriors return from Scotland,
we will send werewolves to Paris and all the other major cities
across the world. Soon the planet will be swarming with these
beasts, and after the humans die, mother-nature will hopefully be
able to cure itself.’
     
    Kaine could not disagree with the idea of
less humans. Halving the planets’ population might actually help
the planet, but Rex’s plan was pure insanity. Werewolves were their
main enemy, had the old fool finally gone mad?
     
    He glanced up at Rex who was leaning over the
edge, his shrewd eyes upon him.
     
    ‘Kaine, I see you look like you disagree with
me, so I will explain. We have finally found the sacred silver
sword, so releasing the werewolves is safe. There is no risk of
starting another huge war with them. We will keep the mother
werewolf here, and all of her offspring can run wild around the
planet. When we want to stop their destruction it’s simple--we just
use the silver sword.’
     
    ‘And just how are we going to locate them
all? Put homing collars on them?’ Kaine asked cynically.
    Rex shook his head and sighed. ‘Let me
explain,’ he replied, looking at Kaine as if he was one of the more
ignorant schoolboys in the class. ‘The silver sword’s powers are so
strong that if we behead the mother in the dungeons with it, then
all her children running around the world will die too.’
     
    ‘But we all know the myth, Rex,’ Kaine
insisted. ‘The silver sword is locked, you fool. There’s a spell on
it and it can’t be used.’
     
    Rex’s grin was wide and evil. ‘The sword has
a spell on it, yes that’s true.’ He then glared at Kaine, all
semblance of humour gone. ‘But Longinus has just gone back in time,
and after he turns this Jenny person, I’m sure the holders of the
spell—meaning the church—will release it. That is, after I
blackmail its leaders.’
     
    Rex paused. He looked around himself, then
leant forwards on his ledge and spat dark black phlegm onto the
dead guard below. He then wiped his mouth on his sleeve and
said,
     
    ‘We have recently learnt in the near past
that a priest who we know only as John, had a child with a nun.
This is, of course, forbidden in the church. The foolish priest
broke their sacred rules, and if the leaders had found out he would
be banished from the priesthood forever. They would have no choice,
since he broke his vows to God that he made during the
administering of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. The child in its
eyes would be a terrible thing. The priest abandoned his daughter
Jenny when she was only a day old, and never told his superiors
about her.’
     
    Rex chuckled to himself. ‘They will be
furious with him for it, I’m sure.’ Everyone else laughed with
him.
     
    He fixed Kaine with his gaze and continued,
‘Longinus has just gone back in time to 2014 to find her. When he
does, he will turn her into one of us. In the year he arrives, she
is not a baby anymore but a 30-year-old woman. He doesn’t have a
lot of time to accomplish this, because she dies in the same year.
I know this because my dark spirits have warned me.’
     
    He gave a half-smile. ‘I know the priest
knows and hates us, but he will have no choice. I will send a
messenger to arrange the meeting. Then I’m going to tell him to
lift the spell on the sword or I will not only have his
