The heat from the fire made his face feel hotter that it already was. His limbs were like lead weights and he swayed on his knees, barely keeping upright. Screams and the crackle of the fire pounded in his head and he felt hands on his shoulder. A voice resolved itself out of the chaos and it was Pyotr.
The light of the fire made strange sharp shadows on his face. There was something wrong with the man's eyes. Bas wondered what had happened to his friend. Who was this impostor? He ground his teeth and began to pray for the power. He felt it in the distance, the cold heat of a far away star. He prayed and strained but nothing came to him. Cold sweat began form on his forehead from the concentration. This thing in the Pyotr suit was doing something to him!
Suddenly, the other man was there. It was both of them! They were doing something to him. He tried to stand up and his legs didn't respond. Another voice intruded into his mind, a girl. He looked up at her and she was haloed in firelight. Was this a vision? Was she the Holy Mother? He saw kindness and concern on her angelic face, could feel the heat radiating from her. His eyes locked on her as she knelt and put her hands on him. It gave him chills and he felt her holy power wash through him.
The fatigue and chills disappeared and his legs worked again. His mind still felt clouded though. He looked at the Pyotr mask and felt a chill. The other one was there too, along with onlookers. He looked away from the demon and back to her and took her hands. He whispered, "Please, Mother, please make them go away!"
