Curse of Oedipus

It has been a foggy night, the wind whistled through the leaves of the trees. The streets were emptied from Kindred and humans as one. Camila went through her library as she suddenly recalled of the stolen books from the Tremere chantry she got from her new colleague. The books were placed one on top of another in a dusty box, each one represented guides and techniques to practice a specific type of blood sorcery. She laid her hands on the black book Gerard represented her a couple of days ago, it had a little symbol of a pitchfork on it. It was more than clear that the book represented the practice of foul sorcery, one of the more guarded secrets the chantry. Even Gerard himself was surprised he managed to find the book on his way out through the basement of the chantry, moments before running away from his sire. Chills were running down her spine as she opened the book, giving her the sensation of Blasphemy voices whispering straight into her ear. Camila couldn't get more excited of getting the treasure of Gerard as proof of his loyalty to the Blackrose coven, and went through the pages of the diabolic book. The book contained many secrets of the damned, including several true names and techniques for the undead to abuse their vitae in order form a connection between them and the foul creatures. Some of the secrets were already known to Camila due to centuries of experience with the damend. However, one of the rituals in the book could arouse her curiosity. It was a quick and useful ritual that would be easy to cast even for a beginner, all it required was an incense stick. She went through the instructions mentioned in the book and practiced them for the following nights until she managed to get this right. By the end of the week she could already perform the ritual without even taking a glance in the book.
