The Van Helsing Conjecture – Excerpt No. 8

“I could say the same thing about you, Artemis,” Clara said before chuckling. “Why aren’t you up there servicing your one true God?”

“How dare you—” Artemis hissed.

“How dare I what?” Clara asked. “Travel through the woods?”

Clara loved to rile up her opponents. Sure, the goddess held the proverbial high ground, but why let the goddess revel in it?

“How dare you flaunt that name!” Artemis yelled.

Scene taken from a depiction of Dante's inferno. Shows a depiction of god, pushing souls through a meat grinder, collecting the material at the end in a glowing jar with a golden hue.
