CHAPTER 1: REVENGE
Notre Dame was very quiet. It was the middle of the night and there was one lone man inside the cathedral, the Arcdeacon. His real name was Jean-Paul Mariel, and he was a pale doddering old man of seventy-five. His was iron gray, as were his eyes and he was lighting candles for the Feast of St. Thomas which would take place the next day. The reason Father Jean-Paul had come to the church so late at night was that could not bear to sleep in his cold, empty, monk's cell and someone had to get up early to light the candles. This was not for tradition or anything. Father Jean-Paul just could not get up tomorrow and come to a church where the candles were not already lit for the Feast of Saint Thomas. Things had to be the way they always had been. They had to be the way they were when Quasimodo was here.
Quasimodo. Father Jean-Paul should not have thought of him. Quasimodo had been the bell-ringer of Notre Dame for many years. He was an orphan taken in by the church…..
Not the church. Father Jean-Paul reminded himself. And that was not the worst part of it either. Quasimodo's mother was an innocent gypsy woman who had come to Paris with her three older brothers in search of a home and to Notre Dame in search of Sanctuary. They had been captured by Judge Claude Frollo, who had been the justice minister in those days. Father Jean-Paul had been attended the monastery school with Frollo. They were both Priory orphans. Jean-Paul's real name had been Eamon, he had been born in Ireland. He had been seven years old when his mother and father were killed during a raid by the French army. Afterward, he was taken in by Father Philippe, the Archdeacon of Notre Dame then and brought to the Cathedral's Priory. Frollo's story was arguably even more tragic. His father, Jean-Pierre had been the Justice Minister until, he and his wife, Marie were killed by the Black Plague. Thus, their two sons, four-year-old Claude and ten-year-old Jehan were left to beg on the streets. It was said that they were taken by gypsies for a time, but for some reason, when Jehan was fourteen and Claude was eight, the two young boys were evicted from their guardians' camp. In two years, Claude's sixteen-year-old brother, Jehan was sent to prison for stealing a loaf of bread and ten-year-old Claude was brought to the monastery by Father Philippe's sub-prior, Brother Godwyn.
Brother Godwyn. Once Jean-Paul had given that name the same reverence and admiration as he had that of his rescuer, Father Philippe, but he now wondered, It was all his doing, what Frollo became. That and his father's.
Both Judge Jean-Pierre and Brother Godwyn had believed that there were two kinds of people in the world; The good, responsible Christians who followed the Scriptures and the Laws to the letter and the vulgar, common, weak, lecherous, Hell-bound crowd. The first group was completely good and would eventually meet the Savior in Heaven, the second was completely evil and would burn in Hell. Jean-Pierre had worked hard to instill this attitude in his two sons. While this failed with the kindhearted, stubborn, Jehan who enjoyed music and playing the Gypsy children, Claude seemed to have believed it and respected his father. Once in the priory orphanage, Brother Godwyn had taken Claude under his wing as Father Philippe had take Jean-Paul, and as a result Claude grew vapid and arrogant. He would insist that the actions of almost anyone else, was a sin worthy of eternal damnation. Especially if the other person was a woman, or a gypsy. Years later, after Jean-Paul became the Archdeacon and Claude became the Justice Minister, Jean-Paul had convinced him to take in the orphaned and deformed Quasimodo to teach him compassion and humility. Instead, it had Claude angrier and more bitter, but otherwise did not change him in the least. Instead, it had led him to nearly kill Quasimodo, a young Gypsy, Esmeralda and his young captain of the guard, Phoebus twenty years after, and by extension to his death.
Maybe I should have reported him to the King that fateful night instead. Thought Father Jean-Paul, but the moment the murderous thought crossed his mind, he regretted it. He was a man of God, he could not think of causing the death of another man however evil he was. So Father Jean-Paul held his breath and began to think of all the good that had come of his decision to make Frollo work for his immortal soul. Notre Dame had never had a better bell-ringer than Quasimodo, nor a man who was so good with the church's children. Without Quasimodo, it was very likely that Phoebus and Esmeralda would never have married or had their son, Zephyr who was the best juggler in all of Paris and was friends with all the orphaned and poor children of the city whether they were of the priory, the gypsy commune or the streets. It was also very likely that Quasimodo would not have been able to save the soul of the beautiful, young, thief Madeleine. It was then that another wave of guilt hit Father Jean-Paul. They were all dead. They were dead because of Father Jean-Paul's weakness. In the past year, a mysterious army known the Demon had invaded the shores of Paris. They had killed the French royal family and forced everyone who was in power to serve them in any and all things including Father Jean-Paul, Phoebus and Quasimodo who were forced to take of people who the Demon considered their enemies. Father Jean-Paul had preached that this was the book of Revelation in full swing and that the people of Paris would have to submit to the will of their new tyrant rulers until the redeemer came and freed them all. But, aided by a group of mysterious children, Quasimodo and Phoebus had done something that meant much more, they had fought back. And months later, this had cost them their lives. The Demon had sent a man to eliminate the threats to their rule, the mysterious children had also returned and brought a transport to save the family. It had all been for naught. The transport was destroyed with Quasimodo, Phoebus, Esmeralda, Madeleine and young Zephyr aboard it. Esmeralda had been nine months with child. It would have been her second. A girl who, Phoebus had told him, they planned to name Maria. Zephyr was almost ten years old. Quasimodo had proposed to Madeleine. It all still haunted Father Jean-Paul, even six months later.
The door opened. In walked the strangest collection of figures that Father Jean-Paul had ever. There was a tall, handsome, muscular man with long black hair tied back in a ponytail and icy blue eyes whose face was only marred by three blood-red scars across his face, an equally muscular, handsome man with blonde, deep blue eyes and a strongly chiseled face that included an attractive blonde mustache, a pretty woman with curly brown hair, deep brown eyes and horn-rimmed spectacles, a small stout man with an unattractive, large, red nose and light blue eyes and a tall intimidating figure dressed all in black and wearing a silver mask.
Despite the fact that these individuals disturbed Father Jean-Paul, he smiled welcomingly at them and said, "Hello sons, daughter. I am happy to welcome you to Notre Dame. Come have your wounds healed and your thirsts quenched."
"We do not wish to have our wounds healed." Said the black-haired man, "Nor our thirsts quenched."
"We didn't come to for sanctuary." Said the Blonde man figuring a dagger.
"Oh no." asked Father Jean-Paul, "Then why have you come?" These people were really making him feel uncomfortable.
"We have come for you, Archdeacon Jean-Paul Mariel." Answered the woman, a murderous look in her eyes.
"Me?" Father Jean-Paul was now feeling very cold and very frightened, "What have I done?"
It was then the man in the mask spoke for the first time.
"You been accused of offering sanctuary to enemies of God." His voice was deep, cold and somewhat familiar, "Knowingly aiding and abbetting in the commission of Witchcraft. And the murder of Judge Claude Frollo."
"Thou judge be not judged." Father Jean Paul answered, "And who are you to judge a priest"
"The man on whom the judgement lies." The mask came on. The face was one that Father Jean-Paul had never expected to see again.
"You-you're dead." Judge Claude Frollo laughed a menacing laugh, "The Lord has granted me a second life." He reached out a hand and touched Father Jean-Paul on the face. And then there was darkness.
