ANGEL: I come before the Oracles for guidance and direction. I beseech access to the knowing ones.

(inside chamber, Angel sees dead bodies of oracles)

FEMALE ORACLE: (ghost) It's unfortunate. Things are unraveling. The dark ones broach our temples now.

ANGEL: Can you help me?

FEMALE ORACLE: I can't stay long. I've been dead a while. So far I don't like it.

ANGEL: But my friend who gets the visions...

FEMALE ORACLE: Is in trouble. It's his mark, the one who did this.

ANGEL: Who? Who did this?

FEMALE ORACLE: Vocah, warrior of the underworld. He wants you weak. So he opened her mind to all the ones who cry out in pain and need. She doesn't have long either.

ANGEL: How can I stop it?

FEMALE ORACLE: The sacred scroll of Aberjian is now in Vocah's possession. The scroll is what you need. (begins to fade)

ANGEL: Wait.

FEMALE ORACLE: Find the scroll. The words of Anatole, only they can remove the mark and save your friend.

ANGEL: Tell me where to find him. I'll repay him for what he did here.

FEMALE ORACLE: He is here for the raising.

ANGEL: The raising?

FEMALE ORACLE: Like so many of them he hides behind man's law. Stop him. (fades)

ANGEL: I will. (grabs Vocah's scythe)
