Parsley ran through the streets, looking for a sign of Sir Archibald. He thought he'd lost the knight, when he caught a glimpse of shining metal vanishing behind the corner of a building.

He rushed towards it, and soon saw Sir Archibald's mechanical guise pass through the doorway of what looked like a temple. For a moment, Parsley wondered if he had found a church, but he doubted it would be that simple - most likely it was a different building of importance. Regardless, he raced towards the doorway, hoping to retrieve the artifact before Sir Archibald did something reckless.

And then the door slammed shut just as he reached it. Parsley tried to find a handle, but he couldn't. Still, a mere door was only a small problem for him. He touched it and began turning it to bread.

He cursed his luck as he realized what he was transmuting; the "door" was made of stone. Had Archibald gotten himself lost in a cavern and been trapped behind a cave-in? It could take hours to change enough stone to bread to make a passage through. And that was assuming the demon hadn't simply shown him an illusion of Archibald. He could be wasting all that time on a ruse while the real Archibald was tricked into destroying the weapon.

Parsley sighed. His best chance would be to find Stein again. The Baron might have a device that could break through rock, or be able to invent one in a reasonable amount of time. The demon hunter turned around to track down Stein's vehicle.

And then he saw two strange figures flying towards him. One of them stopped and shook his hand.

"Hello, Parsley!" Carnea said. She turned to the other flying being as Parsley stared on in confusion. "This is Parsley, God of, um... Bread?"

Parsley simply stared as he tried to figure out who in blazes these newcomers were.
