Emily follows Papa Emeritus II in a large and dark corridor. The stone walls are lit by flaming torches and several paintings are hung also, all represent Papa Emeritus and his Nameless Ghouls in different positions. Early intimidated, Emily begins to trust this mysterious lord and continues to follow him. They come in a medium-sized room, which resembles a small chapel. Papa Emeritus turns to Emily for him describe the room where she is.

(Emeritus): "This is the chapel of ritual. Can you feel the smells of dead human sacrifices on the altar bed?"

(Emily): “I can feel, it's really strange. But you said a ritual?"

(Emeritus): "Yes, the ritual of the queen of darkness. I'll explain you. For many years, I reign alone on the world of the dead and darkness, and I'm missing something: a woman, who could reign with me. I decided to choose a woman of mankind because if we are linked, our two worlds too, and this will prevent a war between our two worlds. "

(Emily) "Why? The war will burst?"

(Emeritus): "Yes, because Vulom, another lord of the shadows, hates the earth. He hates the humans and wants to enslave them forever. If he becomes the new Dark Lord in my place, he will launch an attack against your world and it would be the beginning of the war between humanity and the world of shadows."

(Emily): "But how to prevent it..... You think the queen of darkness..... Is that me?"

(Emeritus): "When I saw the courage and how you have resisted me, I knew it was you."

Emily does not know what to think. She is destined to become the queen of darkness? But if she wants to save her world, she really has no choice. She walks to Papa Emeritus II and spoke to him with a gentle and loving voice.

(Emily): "If I do, it is not only to save my world, I must admit, this is also because ..... I feel attraction for you."

In hearing this, Papa Emeritus smiles and his heart dead and cold pounding. The answer is, yes. He looks at Emily in the eyes for a few moments, then, he slowly advance head towards her. In her mind, the young woman understands what he wants to do, but she did not try to escape, on the contrary, she gently closes her eyes and waits. Papa Emeritus II gently places his lips and kisses Emily, gently and tenderly. Emily feels the cold of the dark pope in her blood, like a kiss of death, but for her, it's a great feeling. The kiss lasted a few seconds, then after, she looks him into the eyes and smiled.

(Emeritus): "Thank You for letting me do this."

(Emily) "No .... Thank you."

The Nameless Ghouls enter the room and begin to form a circle around the couple, singing lyrics, like the singings in the churches.

(Nameless Ghouls):""Our father

Who art in hell

Unhallowed be thy name

Cursed be the sons and daughters

Of thine Nemesis

Whom are to blame

Thy kingdom come

nemA"

The room is plunged into the darkness, with only a few lit candles held by each of the Ghouls. With his scepter, Papa Emeritus shows a bright red pentagram underfoot of Emily and asks her to stay in place, she has nothing to fear. The young woman is impressed but not moving.

(Emeritus): "Do not fear anything, you will not feel anything."

Emily has trust to the dark pope. The Nameless Ghouls continue to sing the lyrics, while Papa Emeritus stands in front of Emily and begins to sing too, showing a dark sphere in his hand, with his scepter. Then he reaches out to Emily and the sphere enters into the young woman. Emily felt a weird feeling when the sphere enters her body, but it only lasts two seconds. She looks at her hands and sees dark sparks that appear and disappear. This is a sign that she has received the powers of the queen of darkness. Slowly, the lights come back and the ritual ends. The Ghouls going in silence and extinguish the candles. Papa Emeritus stays in the room with Emily and approaches her.

(Emeritus): "How do you feel?"

(Emily): "Well ..... A little shaken, but well. It's finish?"

(Emeritus): "Of course, now, you're become the queen of darkness. My queen. My love."

Emily smiled and her heart began to beat wildly. This time, it was she who comes forward and kisses the dark pope with love. The kiss lasts longer than the last. After the kiss, Papa Emeritus watches his queen with love and smiled.

(Emeritus): "I have something for you .... Alpha."

The Ghoul named Alpha enters the room with something in his hands. This looks like a great black dress, with the symbol of Ghost above. There is also a silver diadem, with a ruby in the center, the crown of the queen of darkness. Emily thinks this dress is lovely.

(Alpha): "This is the dress for the queen of darkness. She is for you."

(Emily): "Thank you very much. It's really beautiful."

Shortly after, Papa Emeritus II takes Emily to his room and let her so she could get dressed. He stays out of the room. As she dresses, Ghouls come to Papa Emeritus to talk him.

(Omega): "She is young and beautiful. She is the perfect queen."

(Emeritus): "Yes, I do not doubt, but it is more important to me now. I love her."

Moments later, the bedroom door opens and Emily comes out, wearing the dress. Papa Emeritus turns to see and his heart began to beat wildly. Emily wears the black robe of darkness and the silver diadem on her head. She also wears black gloves and large black boots, hidden by the robe that falls to her feet. Papa Emeritus advances to her and takes her by the hand.

(Emeritus): "You're really beautiful, my queen."

(Emily): "Thanks."

She blushed and also takes Emeritus by the hand. The Nameless Ghouls respectfully greet the queen of darkness, bowing before her. Emily has not really habit to that. But the joy was short-lived. A powerful and terrifying roar is heard outside the clergy. Suddenly, a monstrous creature passes through one of the windows and goes inside, striking the ground with his fists and growling angrily. Papa Emeritus goes before Emily to protect her and Nameless Ghouls are ready. Despite the transformation, Emily looks and recognizes the look of the creature.

(Emily): "No ... It's impossible ..... Mathias!"

The Nameless Ghouls try to attack the monster, but the creatures sends of tentacles with his arms and hit all of them, before propel them on the ground. Then Mathias turned to the couple and headed towards them, in shaking the ground at every step.

(Aldak): "Now it is time for you to die!"

(Emeritus): "I recognize this kind of magic. It's a creature of Vulom."

(Emily): "Wait, this is ...."

Too late, to protect Emily, the dark pope sends a dark radius on the creature, but Aldak dodges the attack. The monster grabs Emeritus by the throat and throws him against a wall with violence. Then he turned to Emily and roared with rage. More likely, she has recognized the look and voice of Mathias transformed by the creature.

(Emily) "Mathias, listen to me. Do not let him manipulate you. It is this creature that controls you."

But the young man is completely possessed and hears nothing. He is about to hit Emily with his claws, but a other dark radius strikes him in the chest and pushes him against a wall. It's Papa Emeritus which regained consciousness. Emily goes to him in hope he is fine. Mathias falls to the ground, unconscious, and resumed his human form. The group walks towards him with caution.

(Emeritus): "It is surely a servant of Vulom. I must kill him before he wakes up."

He prepares another dark radius with his scepter, but Emily restrains him and speaks with sincerity.

(Emily): "NO! Waits! I know him, is a friend of mine. I do not know what could happen to him, but I know he is not evil. Trust me."

Papa Emeritus II at trust in his love and lowers his scepter. Emily leans to Mathias, who is still unconscious but moaning in pain.

(Emily): "What could happen to him?"

Suddenly, a female and dark figure appears in the entry and advance to the group. She does not seem hostile. The creature moves slowly and begins to speak.

(Tara): "I can explain what happened to your friend .... I'm....an ally."
