Carlo Simpato and some One World soldiers approached the steps of the Temple. A couple of the soldiers were dragging a huge pig by a rope. As Carlo neared the entrance, an old grey haired man stepped right in front of him.

The old man stuck a finger in Carlo's face. " You dare blaspheme God".

" Where is your God?". Carlo pushed the old man back. " Who are you anyway?".

The old man grinned. " People call me John".

" Well John". Carlo walked past the old man. " I have important things to do right now". Carlo walked past the Court of Women and the Court of Men. Then Carlo encountered some priests who refused to leave.

Carlo stared at the priests. " Will you bow down and worship me?".

" No" said the priests in unison. 

Carlo walked past them. " Then you shall die".

Carlo finally reached the Holy of Holies. He took a knife and slashed the veil in two all the way to the ground. Then Carlo took the same knife and slashed the pig's throat. The pig's blood was splattered all of the altar of the Holy of Holies.

Carlo walked over to an open balcony window. He stared down below to the masses including Rory who were scratching their sores.

" Pay homage to me". Carlo pointed toward a large tent. " Take my mark of loyalty".

Down below, Rory smiled as he scratched his sores.
