Chapter 2: A Present Interlude I
Disclaimer: I don't own Hellsing, don't claim to, only doing this for fun.
"So that was how I ended up in New Spain not long after, the wretched months it took to cross the Atlantic Ocean were quite hard, and it was only through God's Grace I did not lose my stomach to the wicked waves," Andrew Bervaldi continued.
Father Enrico Maxwell let loose a snarl, "How dare you claim God's Grace upon yourself blasphemer! You are a sinner worthy of exe-"
"All Iscariots are sinners worthy of execution Enrico," Andrew Bervaldi cut him off mid-word, "That is part of the reason I had no guilt in killing those you sent to kill me. Our very Order accepts the taint of sins untouched by most Catholics, in exchange for a chance to defend the faith. You may call me a blasphemer Enrico, but in my heart I have never abandoned the Church, not as it has abandoned me."
"You did abandon the Church, and your Order," roared Enrico Maxwell, voice reverberating the walls slightly.
"I've touched a nerve haven't I Rico," mused Bervaldi, "You fear for your own salvation. You fear what will happen to you if you cannot be granted absolution, if a Sin Eater is not on hand to consume your sins. Worse though, you fear immortality on Earth, cursed like me to wander until the end. I suppose I should go on with my tale while you aren't trying to shoot me again…"
A/N: Short isn't it, sort of like the first chapter? It's intended to be that way. This story mainly dwells in the realm of the past, which is where the longer chapters will take place; however shorter interludes in the Present will be roughly this length.
