The Feast of the Beast

The amber alert immediately went out all over Cardiff, Wales.

Someone had gone into the maternity ward of Cardiff's largest hospital and kidnapped a newborn baby boy.

Authorities all over the nearby Glamorgan County were contacted.

In the wee hours of the morning of this day what looked to be a young brunette woman wearing dark sunglasses had been captured on camera stealing the child.

She had entered and exited the building with lightning quick speed.

"Like a phantom in the night," as a hospital administrator put it.

In Dublin, Ireland, Dracul Van Helsing was in his hotel room when the amber alert in Wales was mentioned on the local news.

Dracul looked at the calendar.

March 23rd.

The Feast of the Beast.

And the baby that had been taken was a baby boy.

Dracul was aware that among certain hard-core satanic cults in North America, the Feast of the Beast was an important holiday.

It was marked on March 23rd because it was 2 days before the Feast of the Annunciation- the day that the Virgin Mary had conceived Christ in Her womb.

Certain hard-care satanists thought that by sacrificing a young male child (symbolizing the Christ child) on this date- March 23rd- the day before Saint Gabriel's Day (March 24th- Saint Gabriel the Archangel who had been sent to Mary to see if She would consent to being Mother of the Messiah and Holy One of God) and two days before the Annunciation (March 25th) this would grant the sacrificer of the male child immense power.

Dracul thought that this was hardly a coincidence that a baby boy had been kidnapped on this particular date.

He picked up the phone and asked to be connected to Cardiff Police in Wales.

At the same time in an abandoned church in Cardiff, a statue of the Celtic horned god Cernunnos stood on the altar where the Crucifix of Christ once stood.

On Cernunnos' head were the horned antlers of a stag with seven tines (or points per horn). He had long white hair and a white beard. He wore a torc (an ornate neck ring worn by the ancient Celts to denote nobility). In his left hand, he held a serpent which had on its head the horns of a ram.

At the feet of Cernunnos lay a crying baby boy.

Standing over the altar and above the baby was the Vampiress Morgana.

"Oh, Cernunnos, Lord of the Underworld," Morgana prayed an infernal prayer, "grant me success in my mission."

She raised the knife.

The knife fell.

The baby's cries were no more.
