Volatilis asked each of his 10 members the same question, "Are you all ready to become part of our Holy way of life, our Holy cult?"
"We are."
"Are you ready to consume the delicious and delicate flesh of man, and women only?"
"We are."
"Are you ready to serve your god, and your god only?"
"We are."
"Are you ready to praise lord Heptus for his mighty sacrifice?"
"We are."
"Consume the flesh."
All 10 of the members lunged at the women upon the altar, in front of the star symbol scorching the wall. Her eyeless face was burning with fear as blood spilled down the sides of the stone, streaming violently. They were part of the Holy one, they were part of the cult.
For over a month, Fatum had been testing antimatter, and he had discovered a breakthrough. He made a mini jump gate able to send them flying light years, in minutes. He mounted it on his Rogue Gunboat, and signaled to his newly appointed members for lift off. He took off, as fast as his thrusters could take him. He passed through the clouds and into the heavens of space.
"Alright, I'm engaging my antimatter transmitter Heptains," Said Fatum into his microphone.
"Roger King Fatum, your good from down here," Replied Kornatus, the first member he recruited to the Cult.
"Engaging... NOW!" Yelled Fatum.
The force of the antimatter was almost unimaginable, he entire body lunged back as he traveled through a tunnel of black and purple, then his genius showed, he pushed a button on his chair, which activated his navigation system WHILE traveling faster then light itself! Then everything stopped, and he was overlooking a large, orange planet, that looked as though it was covered with lava. In fact it was. He entered the atmosphere, his ship just barely holding on, he made it through. His ship smashed on the ground creating a small crater. He exited the ship and just glared at a 40 foot gate built on dry, dry ground. Clordostein, the capital of Heptainus, the domain of Heptus. He looked to his left. Off in the distance he viewed a giant Volcano. He looked to the right, but all he saw was a deep red sea of magma. He was about to step into the gate when something caught his eye. He say a large metallic box, with 3 skeletons lying over it. He went over to see it, he... had to feel it. He pressed his finger to it. A sound emitted through the entire planet, a screeching sound. Volatilis realized that this was the bomb the resistance had founded. But why was there no one here, and why hadn't the bomb went off all those years ago, either way it was going to now. He rushed over to his ship almost screaming. He jumped aboard and started the engines, the screeching grew louder. He took off, and the sound became almost caused his ears to bleed. He was about 4 miles above the ground now, when suddenly the screeching stopped. It exploded. He just made it out of the atmosphere when shards of the giant beast started to break away. He tried to engage his antimatter launcher, but it was jammed. Shards were nearing his ship, and he had to leave. Finally, he was in the tunnel of purple and black.
"So.... what was it like? You know before it blew up?" asked Jagani, the last recruited member of the cult.
"Dry... everything was dry..." Replied Fatum,"Although I take this as a sign from god, that were not meant to live there, but.... were meant to live HERE..."
"Ah.... so I suppose we just keep recruiting?"
"By God's command, yes," He said, before taking a large bite out of a child's dead leg.
