The booming sound came from the coffin, rattling its very cover.
All three of them looked at the coffin with solemn eyes as right in front of them, the cover slowly moved.
Out came a skeleton's hand, its bones crunching as they gripped the corner of the coffin.

"You have finally come here. I have been waiting for your disgusting aura to come here so that I could kill you myself." The skeleton spoke once more. As it said this, it started hovering slightly, and was a few inches above here coffin, in the air.
"Saint Ester. So what I have feared actually came true." Father Joseph shook his head.
