A Love In Dark Times

“It's not just fear, it's also ignorance, we can use that. -Francisco smiled, lowering his gun.

-Let's put our weapons away. -Grunted Estrello, “This is a wedding, not a battle.

“The two of them,” Francisco paired Luis and Luisa, Guio and Angie, he did it like he was dancing a waltz.

-1 don't know if I can marry them, they don't have all the communions, besides they don't seem to be over the legal age. - don't know if I can marry them, they don’t have all the communions.

Monsignor, we can fix that for sure, here in this bag I have two kilos of reasons for you to marry them. -Francis proposed showing him a cloth bag that seemed to have coins inside.

-If they are gold, I might be able to make a deal, it seems that only gold plus silver is what we can send to heaven. -A nun received the bag and looked at the gold coins, exclaiming, “It's gold, doubloons, doubloons, doubloons! -It is gold, Spanis doubloons, our lord will be grateful for such a noble donation!

“itis a humble offering to intercede for us to cleanse us of our sins. -Francis knelt down.

Perfect, let the wedding begin. -The priest applauded, transforming the scene, dressing everyone in elegant gowns for th occasion and the brides in couture white veils, in which they all look beautiful and this was no exception to see this pair young women at the altar dazzling in their beauty.

We are gathered today to celebrate these ceremonies, the unions of these souls?

“What is your basis, priest, how is it that you can unite souls, how can you prove that there is something intangible callec soul? -Estrello shouted.

“It is the power given to me by the Creator, I will give you the blessing of the union?

-1 don't believe that God would come down from his throne to grant you powers. -again howled Estrello.

The wolf is right, I have some friends that the priests married them seven times and they couldn't conceive children, on the other hand, others that lived in amance and were full of babies. -added Francisco's traitor.

-Of course, the true blessing of a marriage is children, that and that it lasts. -opined Luisa.

-It seems that we are being sabotaged by mocking demons, we'd better perform an exorcism, altar boys, bring me holy water!

-How can it be possible that a man like you can improve or endow water with better qualities, just because you claim not to have had s*, when some prostitutes, nuns and altar boys contradict you," Estrello bellowed angrily, being surrounded by several Blessed.

“You blaspheme us in our own house, we'll take you out of here and excommunicate you forever. ...

1 am not afraid of that, for there are other religions that also claim to be the true one. -Francis replied, looking at the fac that they were also being surrounded.

The only true religion is us, the others are lying, only we will lead you to salvation, to paradise.....

“Your paradise looks boring, I prefer the paradise of milk, honey of another religion and eleven thousand virgins. -Francis finished with a laugh.

-Our paradise is the real one, when you die you will d iscover it and cry tears of blood because you cannot enter, besides you will be sent to the depths of hell.

-1 don't understand how they can affirm something that happens after death, if nobody has returned to tell what happen afterwards, who knows if there is more beyond, or simply everything ends like when we sleep without dreaming anything Luis exclaimed, without letting go of Luisa, in the hope that they were married.

-It's because that's the way things are, that's the way they were taught and that's the way our ancestors believed... “You're wrong, my ancestors worshipped the sun. -Angie interrupted, remembering that her father was a shaman.

Those were pagan acts that would lead them to eternal damnation, thanks to us converting them and baptising them, their souls were saved...

He did not consider that having converted by blood and fire, counts as redemption, or not for you, additionally we also have the inquisitorial crimes.

those are mistakes, that could have happened because of demonic infiltration in the organisation, something we have already corrected...

“It's hard to believe individuals with some of the biggest fortunes and who are not able to help the poor. -Guio opined, recalling a mission in the headquarters country of that religion, where he observed all the excesses of the top leaders. These are slanders, even though we, as representatives of the kingdom of heaven, deserve a decent salary?

They say that it is more difficult for a rich man to enter through the eye of a needle than for him to enter the kingdom of heaven! -Francis shouted, surrounded by several headless nuns who were pinning him down,

The cry of a baby was heard, which was then followed by several others.

The tunjos have woken up! -announced the nuns and everything turned into a nursery room.

50 cute. -Luisa said as she held up one of those babies with golden skin and emerald eyes.

1 already have teeth. -He said the golden baby and burped a flare.

“Spray it with your saliva and baptize it. -said Francisco.

-In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit I baptise you. -Lisa kissed his forehead, and immediately he was transformed into a golden doll like the ones she had seen in the golden room of the museum that they had once taken o a school trip.

Margarita, that baby is mine, although if you want, ll make you one. -They were interrupted by a short, chubby man wit small hat, a small ruana and a carriel that hung from one shoulder, but the strap crossed his chest, leaving the bag at the other end, he also had golden skin and ruby eyes, but his smile was missing one of his canine teeth.

“Wait, Mr. Handsome, we're just looking for the key to Capes. -Angie clarified, drawing her sword.

I'm doing you the favour, of course they already did it to you, I congratulate you and I envy the creature that will feed fro your beautiful breasts. -The seductive Tunjo smiled, taking off his roan, revealing his stomach with his chocolate bar abs and his massive pectorals with frizzy hair and a thick golden chain that, I said, held the key they were looking for.

That's the key, please give it to us. Francisco knelt down and pushed the women away.

That won't do, young man, this key was given to me to keep by a good friend, unless you pay the price I tell you. ~The Tur pointed to Luisa and wiggled his tongue like a snake.
