LOCATION: Iscariot Secret Catacombs.
Maxwell look upon the majestic golden statue in front of him with awe, curiosty and fear. The statue is 100ft tall, depicting a lifelike skeleton wearing a beautiful jet black robe with gold edges and wielding a golden staff on his right hand. The staff is entwined by seven serpents, that holds different coloured gems on their mouth that radiates a strong aura. The statue is sitting on top of a majestic marble throne, hovering 1 meter above the ground. Hundreds of 50ft tall lifelike angels, demons and human statues made out of ebony stone, each wearing elaborate golden armours and wielding different types of giant weapons, such as, swords, axes and spears, are depicted figthing each other, surronds the skeleton statue, making it look like the skeleton is observing a war.
"How did this even get here?" Ask Maxwell, visibly confuse.
"Sir base by are information it was here before the church was even build and is estimated to be over 3.4 million-4.5 million years old. that thing might be one of the oldest thing in this world." Answered the Iscariot Paladin to Maxwell, while reading a folder labelled CLASSIFIED.
"So, this thing has been here for millions years, 700 ft underground and still remain undamage?" Asked Maxwell.
"Yes sir, this catacombs was created in 1765-1780 so we can bury here the brave paladins that have been fallen in battle. So, no one can know what happens to them. After the catacombs was build multiple strange things happend, loud female and male screams can be heard every night, random drops of temperature and every night some paladins will have very horrifying nigthmares, that's why we start to search the source behind this anomalies, and came at the conclusion that the source of anomalies are most likely under are Catacombs." Answered the Paladin, giving the folder to Maxwell labelled CLASSIFIED. "The Paladins and Workers found this, after further excavation underground. We pinpoint this room's location after 3 weeks, because the deeper and the closer we excavate, the stronger and more frequent the anomalies become, like the anomalies are trying to protect this room." The Paladin said while scanning the room.
The shape of the room is a perfect hemispherical dome, the dome height and radius is 150 ft. The wall and floor of the room is made out of black marble like material and has different types runic symbols engrave on it that glows red ominously, Moreover, gotchic wall torches light the whole room with there undying blue flames.
"Whats the meaning of this!," Maxwell shouted, reaping apart the folder. shocking the Paladin. "Im the leader of this Organization! yet I don't know this exist here!" Maxwell shouted louder, glaring at the Paladin.
"Im so sorry sir! but the Pope himself said that only Paladins that has permission from him can enter and known about this room." Said the Paladin while bowing in front of Maxwell, shaking, terrified of his boss.
"...I understand." Said Maxwell in a apologizing manner, calming himself and the Paladin down. "Then, if this place really is the source of those...anomalies why haven't this room been destroyed."
Questioned Maxwell.
"Sir, it's because after further examinations of multiple agents sent by Vatican Section 3, determined that, this room is actually a holy ground." Answered the Paladin, looking around the room.
"The Vatican Section 3, Vatican's top holy relic bureau. What make them think this place is...holy?" Ask Maxwell, also looking around the room.
"Sir, its because even though this room reeks of darkness and despair, this room also radiate with strong holy energy. Especially that statue." Answered the Paladin, pointing at the Skeleton Statue. "They said this whole room depicts the Apocalypse." Said the Paladin.
"Demons, Angels and Humans fighting each other to the death. It does depict the Apocalypse accurately...so if this thing really depicts the Apocalypse, I pressume that Skeleton sitting on the throne might be depicting one of horse man of Apocalypse, and base by it's apperance, i pressume his DEATH." Said Maxwell piecing together the clues.
"Yes Sir, your right." Answered the Paladin.
"Ok then, I get it know. but why is the Pope giving permission to me, to see this? and why now." Ask Maxwell to the Paladin.
"Sir it's because...we're summoning the horse man of Apocalypse." The Paladin answered with a trembeling voice.
