A fiery scorch lights up a place where the ruler is vicious and complete with a plethora of beings looking to destroy your relationship with god. Demons flutter around you trying to get you to become an atheist. Thoughts whisper into you ears, telling you that the unseen is a sham, fraud, and hoax.
