Second Night

The Chapel lay ahead of him, the hallway seemed longer than usual and a strangely a lot darker...
First Brother Lucius found himself in front of the grand doors of the chapel dedicated to the God Emperor of Man.The doors were huge, three men standing on each others shoulders could not top it, and on the doors the symbol of the chapter was carved in a stylish manner. The Chapters symbol was simple compared to other Space Marine symbols. It was a sword and a spiral, nothing more nothing less, nothing special.
"The chaplain is surely waiting for me" thought Lucius, " He probably knows of the doubt in my mind already".
He let out a loud sight and pushed the chapel doors aside
A bright light struck his eyes blinding him for moments. When he could finally see again he observed his surroundings. A great golden altar lay ahead of him and the walls were decorated with stained glass depicting the God Emperor and chapters of history from the Horus Heresy Era, a clearly paved road led to the altar and he could see other Space Marines on their knees praying. Strangely no light source could be found but the room was still illuminated, he didn't pay attention to this. He looked around for the chaplain but he was nowhere to be found. He turned around only to find a face with a mask of a skull on it and a pair of green eyes staring into hes.
- Welcome First Brother Lucius, i am glad you came too see me.
- Chaplain Erezaia, always a pleasure too see you can still sneak up on me.I will figure out how you do that one day. In any case, i came to report that the recruitment festival on Albetros is due tomorrow. As usual they have not been told why they fight for.They know if they don't fight they will die anyway.
- Good good. I am pleased by your report. In all the long years that you have served me not once did you fail my tasks, i am proud of you. Very well i shall inform my superior and so forth, be sure the Chapter Master will hear the news.
- Thank you Chaplain Erezaia. I will take my leave now.
- Very well First Brother Lucius, i shall see you at the next sermon.
- Yes Chaplain.
Lucius took for the door, not looking behind him for the world, he almost had the door knob in his hand when....
- Ohhhh, First Brother ! One more thing....do i detect uncertainty in your purpose ?
- Chaplain, i do not understand....
- I know what you thought on the bridge tonight, i find your lack of faith disturbing.
- Please forgive me Chaplain, it was a momentary slip up, I know the God Emperor is watching us, i know the Empire can never fall.
- You are lucky i do not sense the taint of Chaos on you First Brother or else you would have been dead the moment you stepped in the chapel. Be gone now, and remember that fear denies faith. Think on this.
- Yes, Chaplain.
- I look forward to the new neophytes First Brother, do not let me down a second time for i shall not be so kind.
First Brother Lucius exited the chapel more confused and full of worry than he had entered it.
"After all the battles and sacrifices i made how can he still doubt my faith ?! " tought Lucius while walking away.....
"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss, how can they........" a voice echoed in Luciu's head......
It felt like something or someone is pulling at his mind....Lucius stopped and looked around, he was alone.
"Must be the pressure"
