2021 L.A.

Part 5

The cold breeze of the night blows through the room, Hunter on the other hand was looking weak and tired after passing through several transformation.

The doll walks up to Hunter, ‘ you must seek the healing church or else you can never be cured from Paleblood, what do you say ’, in a serious tone.

Hunter kept mute for a while before replying, ‘ how do I get there, I don't even know where am at ’.

The doll laughs, ‘ stop behaving like a lost child ’.

....

The Hunter now travels to the central of Yharnam in search for the healing church because of its connection to blood ministration, which is linked to the plague. Getting their he sights a very old man, standing upright with his chest out, he first observes him before walking up to him.

‘ hello sir ’, Hunter greeted.

The old man turns around with a mischievous smile on his face, ‘.am doing good and what are you doing here ’, he asked.

Hunter becomes suspicious of his words, ‘ what do you mean ’, in a low tone while slowly moving his sword for an attack.

They both stared at each other for a while before the old man laughs and turns the scene into a comedy with Hunter having his hopes up.

‘ am sorry, nice to meet you, am father Gasco, I am the only worshiper of the holy church ’, he said.

Hunter stares at the church. It was about five story building tall with mudded roof tops and a triangular front shape. Inside of the church was filled up with chairs and forward was a podium that was about 32 inch higher above the floor.

Hunter and father Gasco both walked into the church with Hunter still been watchful.

‘ make yourself feel at home ’, father Gasco said while walking up to the alter where he went down on his knees praying.

The church looks old with Hunter looking around and feeling lost, he was about taking a walk around the place when the doll appears from no where.

‘ where did you think you are heading to ’, in a bold tone.

As Hunter heard he was first shocked with fear, ‘ what are you doing here, you almost killed me with a heart attack ’, he said.

‘ am sorry for my weird appearance but I am here to help you recover yourself once and for all ’, in a serious tone accompanied with wooden sounds.

‘ and that is ’, Hunter asked.

‘ the blood ministration is the church itself, the only way you can get cured is by taking it from him without his knowledge ’, the doll said.

‘ isn't that called stealing ’, Hunter replied.

‘ no it isn't, it's called borrowing ’, the doll said.

The both kept quiet for a while with the Hunter glancing at him, ‘ ooh yes it is called stealing, what else did you want to call it ’.

‘ mmh ’.

‘ if you don't think fast am sorry to say that you will be trapped here like the rest of us or even worst you may die, this world you are in is a temporary world, everything here looks real but they are not ’.

‘ where am from is more beautiful than your world, in my world am a hunter, I got injected by a rear disease called Paleblood, that is the main reason am here, to cure myself I did not know that am going to be sent back in time or something ’, Hunter said.

Foot steps approaches their direction, as the doll heard he vanished with informing Hunter who was still busy talking out loud to himself.

‘ what do you think ’, he said out loud to himself.

‘ what do I think, I find it to be awkward for a young strong man like yourself to be busy talking to him, it looks like a sign of metal disorder ’, father Gasco said while staring at him.

He rose up on his feet, ‘ no, it's nothing serious am just admiring your church, it's soo beautiful ’, he said.

He smiles, ‘ you are welcome, follow me ’.

Hunter follows father Gasco to a hidden room in the church, getting to the room, Hunter saw drawing on the wall, it was all about monsters and people been eaten by them as they kept approaching further, father Gasco stops and blocks Hunter from wondering off.

‘ stop, we are here ’, Gasco said in a bold tone.

Hunter turns around, ‘ where is this place ’, he asked.

‘ this is the room where all the secrets of our church is hidden, this is where the church blood ministration started and this was where they all died ’, he said with a broken look on his face.

He on saying, ‘ my fellow servants and friends were murdered by this deadly secret and I plan to guide this secrets with my life ’.

Hunter drives his sword back to his shaft, ‘ am sure but I need that blood to cure myself ’, Hunter said.

As he heard Hunter voice, he moves towards him with a flash and was about placing a dagger on his heart before the doll appears and uses his body as a shield for Hunter, “ swish ”.

‘ what... ’, Hunter stammers.

To his surprise it was the doll, father Gasco dagger pierced through his wooden chest, the doll slopes his head down with Hunter holding him up.

Father Gasco moves away from him, ‘ am sorry for the lost of your friend, but I can not let you have the blood, it is dangerous and deadly ’, he said.

While Hunter slowly placed doll to an edge corner where the doll positioned his back. He walks up to father Gasco with his unsheathe sword.

‘ why did you have to kill him ! ’, he yelled.

‘ measures needed to be taken to protect the church ’, he answered.

‘ if you take the blood you will be transformed into a monster and I don't want that ’.

Hunter dashed for him and the both of them began to fight, father Gasco was hurled to the ground with Hunter's sword on his throat.

‘ give me the blood ’, in a scary tone.

He points for a cabinet, ‘ it's over there ’.

Hunter walks up to the cabinet and began to throw things to the floor when suddenly he heard flesh tearing sounds, he turns around to discover that it was father Gasco.

He was transformed into a monster with long fangs and claws.

Hunter braced himself and was prepared for anything.

Father Gasco rose up and voiced out, ‘ today you die ! ’, as his contracted claws were about striking Hunter, the doll swiftly moves him away from his previous position while Hunter colildes his fists for his face and stabs him on his stomach.

Father Gasco slowly drops down to the floor and slowly closed his eyes for death.

Hunter walks over his body, ‘ so he wanted to kill me, such a pity he ended up paying with his life ’, In a low tone.

The doll stares at his lifeless body, ‘ he sacrificed himself for you not having the blood, he thought it will turn you into a monster and he was right, he did the right thing now he won't be remembered for it it's only those who witness it that shall remember it ’, he covers father Gasco eyes with his wooden palm.

‘ now where do I go to from here ’, he asked.

‘ Byrgenwerth, you need to get to Byrgenwerth by passing through the Cathedral ’, he replied.

‘ that's good to hear ’, he said to himself....

The Hunter now journeys to Cathedral getting there he encounters vica Amelia who is one of the Cathedral members from the church.

She was average in height, fair in complexion and was sporting on a long red hair accompanied with her blue eyes.

She was very beautiful and attractive, she was dressed in a long black gown.

‘ welcome Hunter ’, she said.

The Hunter stops and turns around only to discover that it was a young beautiful lady, ‘ what are you doing here all by yourself ’, he asked.

But she emerged a smile on her face, ‘ I know why you are here, you are still in search for the blood, but you can not find it here ’, she said.

The Hunter becomes surprise and decided to deny that facts, ‘ no, that is not why am here ’, he ignores her and continues his journey through the Cathedral.

‘ I know what you did, you killed father Gasco, he made the sacrifice to save us all from the demonic blood, you can not hide anything from me, cause I know all even yet to happen ’, she muttered with the Hunter vanishing into a far distance....

Getting to the Grand Cathedral, the Hunter sights Vica Amelia again but this time she was a 6foot tall monster.

Hunter repositioned himself and battled her with her winning over him despite his aggressive attack and powerful strikes.

He huffs heavily and sighs for the last time and dashed into her, pushing her over a cliff by accident, he grabs her hand but as she was getting to heavy he had no choice but to let go.

The Hunter was now standing at the front of the Grand Cathedral where he comes into contact with an artifact that bids them to visit Byrgenwerth, only accessible through the Forbidden Woods, ‘ whoshing sounds ’.

At Byrgenwerth.

“ Energy whoshing sounds ”, ‘ where the hell is this place ’, he looks forward only to sight tall buildings.

He walks forward a little and heard a bones cracking sound coming from one of the building, he slowly turns around only to discover that it was a human figure.

He moves closer and it revealed itself to be Shadows of Yharnam. They were up to ten in numbers blocking him from entering the gates of Byrgenwerth.

‘ you are not suppose to be here Hunter ’, in an echoing tone, ‘ we would not let you through ’.

Hunter drives his sword forward and defeated the shadows, he stood firm and opens the gate.

With both of his feets in Byrgenwerth, he encounters Rom, a cosmic kin.

He was tall in height, with pale skin and was wearing a long white cloak accompanied with several horns on his forehead, ‘ I have been expecting you Hunter from another world ’, in a serious tone.

‘ tch ’, he expressed.

Now hunter faces off with a cosmic kin.
