Once in Italy he is approached by a member of the Vatican. They had been keeping an eye on his activities with cursed and dark objects. They needed his help in locating an amulet and they hoped his immortality would come in handy on this particular hunt. The details were explained to him in the church were they priest asked to meet.

"Basically, there is a necklace, an amulet really that is connected to multiple possessions. When we exorcize the demons out of the children the necklace disappears with it. We need to locate this amulet as soon as possible to protect the others." The priest explained showing Grismore a drawing of the Amulet in question. "We are always three steps behind it, and if we take the amulet off before the demon is exorcized out of them, the child dies."

"You've tried that?" Grismore asked.

"We have tried everything we could think of. Nothing works. Nothing. The Vatican does not often ask for outside help, but we have been watching you over the centuries. you are good at hunting down and destroying objects of dark origins. We need you to hunt it down for us so it can be destroyed and never hurt another child again." He stated looking at Grismore's dusty dirt covered travel clothes. "You can track it down cant you?"

"Of course I can, I need more information on it. Can you give me what you have on it? What it does what it is exactly?"

"I will request the files for you. I can not make any promises. In the mean time study the picture so you know what you are looking for." The priest urged and left the room. Grismore studied the picture of the amulet realizing he had seen something similar to it before. It had been in one of Gottschall's estates he had visited before he had gone to Japan. Grabbing a blank piece of paper he made a few notes to himself before slipping the paper into his pocket.

"They have denied your request." He stated urging Grismore from the building. "I am sorry, can you find it without that information?"

"Most likely, but it will take a hell of a lot longer." He stated running a hand through his shaggy dark hair. "Forgive my mouth Father."

"Of course, I will keep trying to get you access. In the mean time, call if you need anything." He stated and smiled sending Grismore on his way.

"Of course, I will get started right away." He stated and turned to leave. His first place to hunt was in Gottschall's Italy home. The man had collected books all over of dark lore and cursed objects. The first thing he needed to do was locate the amulet in one of those books. Heading towards the small town where the house was located he settled in and began to search.

Weeks had past and Grismore had learned that the particular amulet he was hunting was more than just a conduit for demonic possessions. It was an amulet to store innocent souls. Souls of children, often used in exorcisms by the church for the more difficult cases. The amulet had been stolen by a demonic force over a century before and the Vatican needed it back. Shaking his head Grismore knew he had to get that amulet back but he wasn't giving it to the church. All that would accomplish is them taking the soul of a child themselves. It was wrong. Starting closest to the Vatican he began to fan out following leads left and right. At least until World War 1 broke out and Italy joined. Staying out of the war itself he helped to relocate anyone in harms way as often as he could..

During the War he learned the Vatican was taking this chance to hunt the amulet down themselves using the very information they refused to share with him. Going to talk to the priest who had hired him he learned the man had been murdered, throat slit and hung upside down in his church. While he was in the building trying to take the man down from the rafters a fire had started. Someone had tried to burn him in the church. Trying the doors he realized he had been locked in. This was an assassination attempt by the church. With a sigh he placed his palm against the wood and willed the metal in the locks open. Pushing the door open he stepped free letting the church and the man burn. Looking around he shook his head and closed his eyes allowing his form to disappear in the wind. Reforming a few miles away he began the search once more.

Finding himself in Venice he tracked the demon down and cornered him. Until the demon disappeared into the canals thinking Grismore would die if he followed. Diving in after him Grismore swam down into a small tunnel under the city and resurfaced in the Demons layer. Looking around he seen bones of humans, children and adults alike. Forming a silver sword in his hand Grismore stalked after the Demon. Having been attacked from behind Grismore and the Demon began to battle each other. The battle lasted nearly an hour as they seemed to have been evenly matched. At least until Grismore knocked the amulet form the Demon, this knocked the extra power from the creature and Grismore decapitated him. Speaking in Latin Grismore exorcized the Demon back to hell. Grabbing the amulet he placed it into his breast pocket and found a tunnel back to the surface through a warehouse.

When the war was declared over Grismore left the country with the Amulet never letting the Vatican know it was found until after he was long gone. Even then he withheld the letter for an extra month. Paying the man extra to deliver to three other delivery services and make sure it didn't make it to the Vatican for months.
