The massive stone cross at the front of the cathedral loomed over the congregation, a constant reminder of the faith that bound them all—or, at least, was supposed to. To Peter, it was a mockery. A reminder that no matter how often they gathered, no matter how fervently they prayed, the same fear gnawed at them night after night.

At the pulpit stood Pastor Johann Dietrich, tall and thin, his gaunt face framed by the flickering candlelight. His voice, though soft, carried through the cathedral like the whisper of a coming storm. He raised his arms, his long fingers trembling slightly as he began to speak.

"Brothers and sisters," the preacher intoned, "we gather tonight in the shadow of great darkness. A darkness that seeks to devour us, body and soul. But we must not give in to fear. We must hold fast to our faith in God and His eternal protection. For it is only through His mercy that we will be spared from the evil that stalks us."

The crowd shifted uneasily, the mention of evil stirring the undercurrent of dread. Peter's lip curled as he listened, his mind a tumult of barely contained revulsion. Protection? Where had this God been when he had pleaded, when his body had been twisted, cursed? And now, these people clung to their crosses like talismans, like fragile shields against the growing darkness. He had learned long ago that no such shield could protect him.

The preacher’s voice rose, pulling Peter from his thoughts.

“The wolf among us is not a simple beast! It is a manifestation of sin, a tool of Satan himself. We must be vigilant, for the Devil seeks to turn us against each other, to pull us into despair. But if we remain steadfast in our faith, if we repent and seek God’s light, we will drive this evil from our midst!”

A murmur of agreement rippled through the congregation, but Peter clenched his fists. The words felt like sharp nails digging into his skin, a mockery of his own suffering. He forced his gaze downward, glaring at the cold stone floor beneath his feet, refusing to meet the eyes of the villagers who nodded along with the preacher’s every word.

The grand doors of St. Johann's Cathedral groaned as they swung open, ushering in the anxious murmur of the entire village. Beneath the soaring arches of stone, the townspeople gathered, faces drawn and pale. A sea of worried eyes flickered from one familiar face to another, but there was no comfort in the meeting of their gazes. The air inside the cathedral was cold and heavy with the scent of burning tallow candles.

Peter Stump shuffled into the back of the crowd, his shoulders tense beneath his heavy coat. He kept his head low, the brim of his hat casting a shadow over his face as he moved toward the farthest pews. Attendance was mandatory, but Peter had little use for the preacher’s promises of salvation or the hollow assurances of protection through prayer.
