That was all? Only 300 pages on a book about Kasim the Destroyer? Unacceptable. If he wanted to disrespect Illumin on a grander scale, he'd need more scriptures of his greatness. In the dark and lifeless halls of the church, Kasim, Rin and this nameless cultist stood all conversing about the person who mattered; Kasim.
"That book, let me hold on to that." Kasim insisted. He dropped what remained of the cigarette and crushed it with his foot awaiting the mans response.
"Um...well, this is my only copy-" "Surely there's more than one book..." "Well yeah but-" "And I'm sure you don't want to piss off the god of destruction, right? Because things don't end well when Kasim the Destroyer is pissed off." He stepped forward, a sadistic smile stretching across his lips as his eyes seemingly darkened. The man held the book close to his chest, nearly bending over backwards as Kasim towered in front of him.
"O-of course not!" He shivered in fear. Soon he handed the book to the Savannan.
"Smart choice." Rin giggled.
"There we go." he nodded. After the book was taken the man stood there, lost.
"What? Am I supposed to bless you or some shit?" Kasim questioned.
"Um no- I, I mean not if you d-don't want to..." "Then what the hell are you waiting for? Get out of here, human." It only took a second for the filthy creature to bolt out of the door. It seemed that Kasim's reign of terror extended to even Fiore.
"What do you need the book for, Kasim?" Rin asked. Her voice seemed filled with worry. The destroyer raised an eyebrow before responding.
"For starters, I want to see what people have to say about me. This is a book on my life after all. Besides, it seems like my trusted assistant is hiding things from me now." Rin sighed and shook her head, stepping forward to hopefully halt Kasim from believing she wasn't trustworthy anymore.
"No- I... I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the prophecy. You can trust me." Kasim merely rolled his eyes, swatting his hand in the air as if her words were like bothersome flies. The Nephilim walked to the front of the church again.
"Well I sure do hope so. I'd hate to kill the closest thing I have to a friend." Rin smiled. Granted Kasim didn't actually call her a friend but she assumed that she was getting there.
"I thought we were going out?" "Nah, I've got some reading to do. We'll make this our home for the time being." And with that he found the Priests office and closed the door upon entering. Maybe this book had answers on how he was going to get his strength back.
