Priest

In this chapter, we are introduced to Mr. dudley, the mayor of a small town in the north of England, who is being threatened by a young man named ivan. . He tells ivan to stop threatening him in his own office, and to open his eyes and see ivan for what he is. He says that ivan is his soul, and he wants to help him in any way he can. He reminds ivan that he is in the land of the "unholy" and that this is his "battle ground" to seek revenge on the one who has torn his destiny apart. ivan says that he can't believe that pierre and his party are in the "land of the unholy" , and that they have failed in their mission. He adds that he thinks something has happened, and pierre must be telling the truth. The story of ivan's life is told in this chapter. He was orphaned when he was a child and adopted by a rich man who wanted to have his only daughter, gena, as a companion. Now, years later, he stands before a crossroads, where he is accused of corrupting the faith of a betheal. The priest volume 9 tells the story of how ivan defeated the first enemy of the cult, and how he is now being hunted.
