Chapter 4: A Present Interlude II

Disclaimer: I don't own Hellsing, don't claim to, only doing this for fun.

"Salvation is a beautiful thing Enrico," said Father Bervaldi, his eyes tracing the lines of the weapon in the younger Priest's hands, "So free, so cheap…yet we, as members of the Iscariot Order betray it."

"We do not betray salvation," growled Enrico, "We fight to prove ourselves worthy of it, fight so that others do not have to."

"I once believed that," Bervaldi said, shaking his head, "but things changed. I discovered the truth in Méjico."

"And what truth is that blasphemer," asked Enrico Maxwell, curious. He was interested in hearing the story after all; perhaps it would even provide him the clue as to how to kill this evil abomination.

A/N: Yep another short Present Interlude. I realized I needed to get back to work on my Hellsing fics. So, for the first time since the death of Pope John Paul II, and the election of Pope Benedict XVI, I present to you a new chapter. As always, expect the next one, set in the past, to be longer.
