Advent of Calamity Ritual

[21:27] As they all felt their marks he allowed for them to explore, As no one asked him any questions he figured he'd go on to the next topic at hand. Introducing the chaplains who stood like daunting shadows behind him.


"These 10 people are my Chaplains as I'm sure you all have read by know the Chaplains duty is to protect the Exarch and the Vicar while also defending spreading the words of Belial to all who need such freedoms. They are members of a the former cult of Belial and myself and their former master are enemies. " After explaining as much of the situation as he could he'd then move to retrieve the Tyrium dagger. Then of course with another flicker of his wrist he'd extinguish the stare fire returning it back to just normal flames.


"Beyond that I'm also studied in riftmancy and currently learning the Arcane of Chaotic nature. these are all gifts I plan to give you all who wish to learn it if you prove yourself worthy of it. Those who ascend to Chaplain rank will need to have forged some connection to a Chaotic art while also proving themselves as devout members of the Cult." He'd smile towards them. "If this is a path you believe yourself worthy of I hope you prove to myself and the Vicar you are worth it. "


Eniel would look towards the group gathered before him, Turning his body to look at the mirrors as it seemed the moon was beginning to rise higher. As he watched the moons light filter in from the mirrors that reflected the light perfectly Eniel would then give them tasks to prepare for the ritual."Lets prepare for the next ritual then shall we? This one is called the Advent of Calamity Ritual. We give offerings of any sort to the Starfire. Any possession you feel has some connection to you. We give this willingly to Belial in hopes that one day when he will reciprocate give us items he has personally blessed of his own power. "

" It can be anything it doesn't necessarily have to mean a whole lot. Just the act of offering it with a prayer is enough. As we are low on sacrifices we will have to instead give offerings. Is everyone understood?" As they all responded he would then begin to hand out tasks for them to prepare the ritual

"Aku Etrix I need you both to use that black powder to create a ritual circle like this. " He'd draw on a piece of paper how he wanted the circle to be drawn with the powder and pointed towards the sacks of powder in the corner behind the book shelves.

"Maia, Chornelius I'd like you both to adjust the mirrors in the ack so they're facing the pyre and directly shining the moons light into them. There has to be a completely direct pathway to the moon through its light so our offerings can be noticed. " He'd then show them how to rotate the mirrors so they faced the right way.

"While you're doing these tasks ponder about what you wish to offer to the flames. As long as its something you give willingly it is enough. "

[21:36] Maia bobbed her head to Eniel after listening to his speech, She then adjusted the mirror as she was shown. (then she had to log out)
(Maia Crescentborn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:37] Etrix having gathered the required materials flits around the room to half of the marked locations, and follows the pattern seen on the paper provided. All the while thinking of what he even had that was sacrifice worthy.
(Etrix Albestrel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:37] An explanation of the teachings opening up to him was given and a new ritual was proposed while Aku was leaning back and forth to try and catch his own reflection in the windows. Rather than being able to see what the mark did to him he was met with a task coming from Eniel. A small nod was given to the Exarch before he moved towards the book shelves, thinking of what he could and should offer to Belial in a moment like this. What was there to give, after all?

His possession were nearly none and coins did not feel personal at all. A light frown came to his face as he lost himself in thoughts, deciding instead to focus on the drawing upfront and taking note of the demonstration given.

A sack of black powder was picked up from the shelves and spread around the room shortly after in a manner reminiscing of the man's demonstration. Thoughts were still active, trying to find what he could give up.
(Aku)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:45] As the exarch of the Cult of the Crimson Moon speaks about the new ritual, curiosity came up to the Neries.

The Advent of the Calamity… It does sound like an interesting name, but sadly there is nothing that Chronelius consider as valuable with him, maybe he will have to improvise and find something.

He blinks twice as the exarch mention his name. Giving him an usual serious grin and nod slightly as an approval.

He silently walks up to the morroir in the ack and adjusts them so they are facing the pyre. Then Chronelius walks to the fire.

As he gets in front of it, he would stares at the flames dancing in a shade of yellow, orange and red, simply thinking about what he could put in the fire.

Blinking twice, he has an idea. He would open his mouth as he lays his hand to take as tooth that seemed to be quite unstable and begins to retire it. IT was painful, but the kid has nothing else he could think about.

He actually managed to take his tooth out, but stay still with the same serious grin than usual despite the pain he felt.

" I give a literal part of me. ", he says, his mouth bleeding a bit.

He would glance a last time at the tooth before letting it fall in the fire without any shame of doing so and walks off silently.
(Chronelius)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:53] Hearing the name of the ritual and finding it suited a member of a cult called Crimson Moon quite nicely. Etrix wondered what other kind of rituals he would under go during his time as a Neophyte and even later down the line

Etrix continues to wonder what to sacrifice, he could sacrifice the clothes on his back but none of it meant much of anything to him, he could sacrifice his staff but since it was near to being obsolete he didn't value it much. His armor even less of value to him. Alchemical supplies? A dime a dozen, so he had to think that maybe instead of being precious to him it could instead be precious in general.

Recalling the Exarch's Sacrificial dagger was made from the precious metal called Tyrium, a potent magical conductor.

Pulling out his small stock of Tyrium he had found he walks up to the fire which was of an unnatural color, a reddish color that seemed to be the signature color of the cult.

Dropping the metal into the fire he watches the flames momentarily go up as the metal seemingly vanishes.

"The ore that I put my blood, sweat, and tears into mining from the caves."

Having said his piece Etrix steps back into his place and watches on with a calm look about him.
(Etrix Albestrel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:58] It took some time for him to figure out what he should give up. All the way until the circle was completed, even. The young redhead's lips parted to let out a breath, to figure out what truly would mean something.

... And that's when he felt it weighting him down. Literally so. His arms shifted a bit, the backpack he had for all of his childhood was taken off and grabbed with both hands. This was the physical connection that he kept with Mikael and Clara. What had them speak to one another in the first place.

It meant a lot.
It wouldn't stop him from living, however. Detaching himself from those two, breaking the bonds that were held in friendship and allowing himself to decide whether he should or shouldn't befriend them for who they were rather than stumble upon this friendship was the right decision.

A deep breath is drawn in.
Aku's bag is tossed into the flames.
(Aku)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:58] {Item} You drop Rucksack.
[22:17] Eniel would watch as they each completed their tasks as he eyed them for a moment he would begin to get prepared for the rituals start. " When you're all done join me in the center. And be sure not to disrupt the circle." As they did and they gave forth their Offerings to the flames Eniel would once again douse them in Corrupted cosmic flames. As the moon light sparkled it began to go from silver to red beaming back towards where the moon was.

As all of his members gave forth their offerings Eniel would soon give his as well. It was something more meaningful to him in his life than he could imagine but he made sure it was exactly that...something he knew he couldn't live without and that only made the ritual so much stronger.

He reached around his neck and gave up a necklace, One that once belonged to his mother...after she had let him escape Valamsia she placed it around him for safe keeping and now...he was unsure if she was alive or dead.

It meant a lot to him, Kept him safe for many years as he struggled upon the journey towards Agartha and even while being here. Yet he still knew that it was an attachment he couldn't have. His mother made her choice when sending him here...and he would make his by riding himself of the painful past he fled from. She wanted him to live freely. And that's exactly what he chose to do.

offering the necklace to the flames he'd watch it slowly melt with the other items. Feeling some sense of remorse and mourning as he watched it incinerate. After a few moments had past he clasped his hands together and began to pray to Belial.

" Upon full moons light I offer to you these gifts Lord Belial, May you see our devotion and shine your light upon us your faithful. I the Exarch of the Crimson moon your most valued champion upon Agartha. I will gather more people to serve under your name. And we will crusade for Liberty of All within this world." He'd allow for the others to say a few words letting them speak their own truth to Belieal and after which they finished the ritual. Crimson moonlight would begin to slowly disapear as Eternia moved away from its Axis.
(Eniel Daigal)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:22] Aku would do his best at a prayer, or whatever this was. With the flames burning bright and red the young one knew that he would never see that backpack again. This... actually stung. His teeth came to a grit as he stared at the sacrifice that had to be made. His lips parted, words being quietly muttered in an awkward, shy manner. He never had done this before and watching his step was all too important, too.

"I hope you can understand what decision I've made. I... yeah."

Definitely not the same kind of prayer that Eniel gave, but what would you expect from a young one?
(Aku)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:25] The Neries would approach the fire and stare at it silently. The golden gaze shifting between the fire and the exarch twice before staring at the fire again.

He lays his both arm in the air and look up in the sky.

" I have no shame to give a part of me to the Lord Belial. ", he says laying his arm back and looking back at the fire.
(Chronelius)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:28] Listening to Exarch Daigal say his piece, Etrix follow suit, clasping his hands together. He starts his first ritual led prayer towards his God.

"Upon this night and all further nights, let your light give me the wisdom I need to further your cause. Let it forever allow me to grant Freedom to those who do not have it, let me be able to enlighten those who follow order to finally know what true Freedom feels like. My soul is yours, it shall belong to no other like it belongs to you.""

Etrix feeling like he had finally laid his soul to bare, shows a relieved smile upon his youthful face.
(Etrix Albestrel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:31] Eniel smiles...After the ritual had concluded, He looked like a proud brother amongst his siblings. " We are all a family now. Connected deeper than blood. We have confirmed our linage through the bond of the stars. The next ritual and mass will be held soon. Do well to grow in strength and knowledge until then."
(Eniel Daigal)
