- "Once in the city, we won't know what will come at us, I advise you to be on your guard as soon as we catch a glimpse of land . "

- "Yeah, and you should know that once we get there, it's everyone for their own life . Don't rely on us to protect you weakling . " Said Damien looking mockingly at Surgit .

- "I don't need protection . I'm barely giving you a warning . Yharnam isn't wh"

- "Yeah, Yharnam isn't what it's supposed to be we know" Interrupted Francis "We'll be on our guard, but I agree with the big guy here" he went on, looking at Damien "once there, it's everyone for himself"

The atmosphere was indeed getting heavier and tenser; suddenly they hear the captain's voice: "Land Ho" . The majestic legendary city was at last at sight . From the ship, they could make a great towering building through the fog with a clock at its top .

- "That's the Great Cathedral" said Surgit, "It matches every description that I've read on all the books . Only, it's more majestic than what I have imagined"

- " By the gods, This city already gives me the creeps" said Francis with excitement in his voice, "it's everything I have been searching for"

- "Damien, get ready, I have a bad feeling about this place . " It was the first time Paul had said anything since the beginning of the trip . You could feel anxiety in his voice and in his arched back, twitching arms and the way he clutched on his battle axe .

- "Is the brute getting frightened?" said Francis provocatively .

- "What did you say?" Damien had already unsheathed his big sword and was going towards Francis . All his bodyguards reacted at once and took up arms against the two mercenaries .

- "Enough!!" Shouted the cloaked lady . Everyone instantly stopped and stared at her, surprised . "From what the weakling said before, this city messes with people's minds . Keep it together while we're still on this ship, we have a bigger fight awaiting us . "

- "Indeed it does . " Replied Surgit, somewhat offended by the lady's remark "The city is known for its heavy atmosphere that can corrupt the mind and send anyone on frenzy . If you want to survive until you meet an actual blood minister, you'd better have some self-discipline . "

- "To hell with that nonsense" answered Paul "I'm cutting me some meat" he went on as he brandished his axe in the air .

In the midst of that tense scene, as Francis' bodyguards were preparing to strike, a terrible sound could be heard in the distance . It resembled the howling of a wolf, only with a lower pitch that can send chills through your spine . All men stopped in their tracks and their heads turned once more towards the city . Surgit had been observing the layout of the city before the fight had started between the men on deck . "That sound came from where we're headed, it seems like trouble is meeting us at the port" . All men hurried to the bow in order to have a clearer view of what was awaiting them . They saw an old port with only one functioning dock . The wood on the platforms seemed dangerously old but no living soul was to be seen around . Although it was difficult to see anything through the thick fog that formed around the port, the captain managed to bring the ship to a standstill next to the wooden platform .

Everybody had disembarked when the captain announced that there was no way to moor or anchor the ship in the port . "You'll have to find a rope with which we can pull the ship into the dockyard . It's a port, there has to be " as he was shouting his instructions to everyone down at the dock, a cannon ball had hit the ship and the captain was blast into the water by the impact . Fire had already started consuming the boat . Damien and Paul had managed to kill two of Francis's bodyguards; their qualm with him hadn't finished yet . When the others had tried to retaliate they took advantage of the second cannon ball that hit the ship to make their escape and disappear from sight . Surgit looked around to find the captain and try to help him out to safety . He saw a man swimming towards the platform and he went over to help him but a third blow by the cannon had shattered the platform and sent him flying backwards .
