Both Lucifer and Isadora came to a screeching halt— metaphorically, of course. Standing before the grandiose Church of Shadows. The building had a vibe like it knew it was the coolest church on the block, with its sleek shadow carvings that seemed to wiggle and dance when you weren't looking directly at them— honestly, kind of show-off-y for a place of worship.
It was a spot where believers and non-believers alike could stroll in or out like it was a park on a sunny afternoon, no questions asked.
This was in sharp contrast to its snooty cousin, the Church of Night, where you couldn't just waltz in without going through a full-blown conversion process. Those guys made you swear loyalty, light a candle, and possibly sign a contract in blood before you were even allowed to peek inside. Real members-only club energy over there.
