Saint Ren was shocked, falling to his knees in worship.

One minute he was leading the boy, Lars, in the First Sacrament, the next, a divine conscient descended and enveloped the kneeling boy. Before he knew it, the boy was hidden to his eyes by a seething globe of golden Divine Light to the sound of a choir of heavenly beings singing an overlapping chorus of – as far as he could tell – all 7 Sacraments…

A burning yet soothing warmth like a curtain of air then suddenly swept into Saint Ren's person, knocking him off balance, causing his butt to be planted onto the ground. He felt a most holy presence and a bewildering pressure surround him.

A spiritual voice then echoed through Saint Ren's mind, shocking him into tears unbidden.

"THIS IS MY FAVOURED SON, WITH WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED! I SHALL LEAVE MY MARK ON HIM – LET NO-ONE LAY A HAND ON HIM!!"
