Burn: The Last Witness (part 49)

*As his tour of the grounds of this prestine yet awful cathedral wraps up, Burn is suddenly confronted with the arrival of Erus. After two hundred years he looks exactly the same...actually, somehow, he looks younger and more filled with vigor....as he is surrounded by a reverent Congregation that follows his every step. Most of these penitent Congregants keep a respectful distance with heads down yet two are at Erus' side and it takes only seconds for Burn to see who they are. One is a beautiful woman who holds onto Erus and another as if they alone keep her upright. The other, the second that the beautiful woman holds, is Rayne. Dressed in black and looking much older, and empty, then last Burn ever saw him, Rayne heads towards the Cathedral which is exactly where Erus has been headed all along [AI Art]*
