Jerathmiel captures Luke

Two weeks ago, a bloodied Luke Chalfant is hanging under a tree. He is being held captive by Jerathmiel, a witch hunter from the Order of the Innocents who tells him that his namesake Luke the Apostle was hung upside down from an olive tree. The witch-hunter says he doesn't want to hurt him but to save his soul. Luke denies that he knows anything about the witches of Greendale, but Jerathmiel does not believe him. Jerathmiel already knows that his coven is the Church of Night and that his High Priest is Faustus Blackwood. He knows that Father Blackwood sent him on a mission and demands that he give the names of his fellow witches and the location of where they meet. Luke tells him that the witches and warlocks meet in the woods, a school, the Academy of Unseen Arts. The witch-hunter is excited at the prospect of a whole academy to evangelize to. However, Luke responds that only the hands of the initiated can open the doors of the Academy. The witch-hunter mockingly tells him that he brought him two before proceeding to cut off Luke's hands and kill him.
