Valkin sits once again in the Great library in Tarkuul, shadows play on the books like shadow dancers in battle as the canals burn, Valkin calmly turns the pages of yet another tome in tilted “Thayvian Devices & Panel construction”. A Shadow Creeps into the Room, it slides over to Valkin, it speaks short words “ Talbot, Cecila.. help.. now” but Valkin simply nods to it.
Soon he walks from the library towards the apartments above as a portal appears before him, Talbot & Cecilia stride forward. Cecilia seeming ill or injured, Talbot says we need you help. I hope my shadow found you, * valkin nods again casting invisibility on them the rush past the library to the under tunnels below *
Talbot Explains some strange magic has been cast on Cecilia, a gease or something, “Valkin casting detect magic, then read magic, he searches threw the arcane around her the Devinne is there also” She has be bound by blood to another, *Valkin grins, realizing the possibility at hand if handled the right way, thankfully his meetings with Mezlo and Cecilia will pay off after all. * You are in luck it just so happens I have been researching such bonds and bindings for some time, I am certain that I could free her with the right tools and time.
Talbot agrees Cecilia protesting no doubt from her bond she struggles. “ inform your men we will require three others to preform the ritual, along with an assortment of candles, I have the rest with me now” With that valkin and Talbot summon forth messages sending them out to seek Naethar, Mezlo,Luke,Talbot Valkin & Cecilia. To Darkhold...
After a time Mezlo Arrives, he said he has the supplies required and has sent for the men who should arrive at Darkhold shortly, with that they open portal to Darkhold, traveling forth towards the fort dammed so.
As they enter the Terrible site still a fresh pentical lays on the floor before them, Valkin walks forward and being to make preparations, he lines the circle in salt, then parceling a candle at each point of the star.
After the preparation wear done Valkin lays down a black tome on the ground and hands out instructions to each of the people present to preform there part, He begins to chant the following, with this he give Talbot instructions and gags and chains for Cecilia, who is then bound and gaged and placed in the center of the circle.
Lord Balmortis, by your grace, grant me, I pray thee the power to conceive in my mind and to execute that which I desire to do, the end which I would attain by thy help, O Mighty Balmortis, the one True demon who livest and reignest forever and ever. I entreat thee to come forth to manifest before me that you may give me true and faithful boon in return for my service, so that I may accomplish my desired end, provided that it is proper your will. This I respectfully and humbly ask in Your Name, Lord Balmortis, may you deem me worthy, Father.
With this the others standing around in turn take there part and call each of there corners, binding the circle completing it.
East: Hail to thee Guardians of the watchtower of the East, the powers of Water. Bright rivers of inspiration and love, flow into my heart, ebb into my life, and shower me with your power. I call upon you to protect this circle and aid in our work. So Mote It Be.
South: Hail to thee Guardians of the watchtower of the South, the powers of Air. Winds of change and creativity, blow into my mind, breathe new ideas, and swift be your power. I call upon you to protect this circle and aid in our work. So Mote It Be.
West: Hail to thee Guardians of the watchtower of the West, the powers of Fire. Courageous flame of transformation, ignite my will, spark my desire, and let my heart burn with your power. I call upon you to protect this circle and aid in our work. So Mote It Be.
North: Hail to thee Guardians of the watchtower of the North, the powers of Earth. Rocks of solid determination, nurture us, give us firm foundations and unlimited sustenance; and let us feel your quiet power. I call upon you to protect this circle and aid in our work. So Mote It Be.
With this Valkin picks up the black tome, he begins to bind it with chain, as he dose this he nods to the others once my chant is complete she must he killed to clean her soul, then she will be.. free.
By the Pentagram before me
Water, Fire, Earth, and Air,
Ruled by Spirit as All should be
As I speak So Mote It Be!
With that the Cyricists Follow the order Striking down Cecilia, her blood covers the floor and their weapons, Valkin screams out IT IS DONE, Come Forth Balmortis you Are Bound to ME !
Valkin begins to Chuckle manically he Screams out at his success, Luke Turns to the others Deceit we are betrayed, strike at Valkin... But Valkin simply waves his hand his Sanctuary forming he steps back from the crown and say the final passage.
And once that is done we say:
The Circle is open, but never broken.
Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again.
Balmortis you are mine....No longer am I the slave to your whim, you will forever be bound to me and my plans.
*mumbling to himself * Two with one stone... how efficient that was.
