Terminus: Inverted Baptism [Part 2]

[16:59] The air was soon drenched in an etheric radiance -- one that invoked weight upon the general vicinity. The taint of Death herself was... Moving?
The chill of the air... The stillness, it was being rebuked!
However, there was an odd intensification about a single denizen of Varesia: Yorumi.

A psionic connection hummed about, making it clear that something was attempting to make connection to someone else. To those adept to sensory prowess, the target would be clear.

To the realm abroad, a voice boomed out:
"Denizens of Varesia…"

"It has been decided that your ilk would be without my blessings. Unto you all, I offer you promise of any and all that your mortal minds could desire...

Whether the matter great or petty amongst your fancies... But know, that such pursuits will not be upon the grounds of your settlement... Nor aligned beneath its banner."

An offering, that came with a warning -- necessary given the nature of what played out mere moments prior. With such declaration made, the presence waded off... Making a clear departure from the claimed land.

[17:00] Etheric Presence's voice (to Yorumi): The vial contains my blood, necessary for a single blessing... You may invoke upon it now? Or call upon me to bring on a ritual. However, it may not be on these lands.
[17:09] Yorumi can feel it, the familiar presence returns from within the tents, the cold radiance wavers around her body as the purpled eye child- smiled.

Her hand would instinctivelly go to the vial now resting upon her neck, touching it lightly and feeling it pulsate... Reacting to the presence of the being that concentrated around her.

But as soon as the voice ressonated through, her smile would fade, the ligght touch would turn into a grip as the child frowned.

"No... Why...?"

Confusion and frustration would paint her visage, in an angered reaction the small child would STOMP her feet on the ground, her magi intensified by the Ethereal presence would seep out in frustration.

"Why not in our grounds? Invictus had promissed me that all would be welcomed-"

She shakes her head, angered.

"Not in our lands... Bullshit."

In a quick motion she would rip the necklass of her- popping the cork with her teeth and drink the purplish liquid...

[17:21] The etheric presence was still departing....
Though, the Patron could still feel the strong emotions invoked upon the child that carried one of His boons. Perhaps it stirred...
Perhaps it slowed...

Those whom couldn't sense it, much less see it? Were likely to be confused. Though, with the consumption of the fluid within the flesh vial taken upon her person? She had committed to an act that'd invoke a casting unto herself.

At first?
Nothing...
Though, with mere moments to spare? The sensation sought to ruminate within the girl. It was as though, the entity whom she had imparted upon herself, and her were becoming one in some aspects.

What she had consumed, was this alleged Patron's blood.
Pop.
Pop. POP!
Squelch.

Miniature enactments of fulmination sought to ravage at the body from within, all whilst seeking to rapidly restore what was briefly displaced. The circuitry was simultaneously assailed from within by a foreign presence! Though, just as swiftly as it was pulsated and punctured against? It was rejuvenated to become something... Slightly modified.
Perhaps, it'd bear exhaustion upon those whom consumed the alleged Patron's blood...

One thing was certain, the blessing originally intended for another? Was taken by the child in spite. In rebellion!
It was, a final act -- A means of ensuring closure with one's self and this grouping.

The seed, was indeed planted...
Now, it was time to see if it'd go beyond rooting...
The sprouting was to be at-hand.

As for Yorumi? She would be the first to bear a Blessing of Terminus.
