Generation Legacy Issue #13 "Genocide" - Part 1

[Tokiwong]

The Summoning

The room grows visibly darker, a chill dances up the spines of the gathered teens and unnamed whispers fill their ears as the runes glow. The summoning circle glimmers with energy and then begins to boil like water as something begins to rise, squirming and thrashing about.

It hisses as it slowly rises from the twisted realm it came from. An ominous hum fills the room as the runes and circle seem to hold for the moment.

Gilden just needs to give it form… and the demon will be ready for business…

Cassie

The road extends ominously in both directions towards the horizon. It is a lonely feeling, and everything seems just out of reach. It is disorienting, the only comforting place is her foster home, and across the street she sees herself in full color like a mirror, gray shadows of people moving around her other self about their business.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Cassie crosses over to her other 'self' curious as to why nothing is colored but her, but sensing that her old home is a 'safe point' here.

 

[Hammerhead]

"I don't find that to be too comforting, and I am Catholic," she replies, "rather keep Heaven and Hell in the bible instead of the school gym... just something... a little bit... uhh wrong with that..." Tina says softly to Ryan.

"Probably," Ryan agrees. "Of course it's going to be the two Catholics who don't like summoning demons. Gilden and Anika are playing a game where they don't know the rules, or even their wager. Let's get this over with," he says darkly as the demon begins to appear.

 

[Aenion]

"Oh g-god..." Karen stammers quietly. She backs away from the summoning circle as the demon begins to take shape, bumping into Kal. She blindly reaches for his hands behind her back, searching for the comfort and safety of his touch.

 

[Agamon]

Anika focuses all of her will on containing the summoned creature while Gilden bound it to the circle. She did her best to ignore the talk form the others as well as the distraction of the other results of the ritual itself, focusing totally on the presence within.

Aid Another on Gilden's check.

 

[Mimic]

Gilden ignored the comments from those around him, nothing else mattered when the arcane was involved. It infused him, poured over him and burned through his veins. The others wouldn't understand, not even Anika, they gained their abilities through luck or happenstance. He gained his ablilities through study, isolation and sacrifice.

The summoning had worked and the circle was holding for now. He could feel the malevolent creature within, its hatred of him and for all others starting to bear down at him. Now he had to give it form and he knew just the form to give it. If he hadn't been so focused on his task he woud have smiled.

ooc: Make the demon assume the form of a miniature Red Witch.

 

[Shalimar]

As the writhing, twitching prescence rose up in the circle of power, Kelly felt her hackles rising, and instinctively she is wreathed in a shimmering field of power, as she stumbles backward from the sheer unnerving power of the thing despite its prison. "This is so not a good idea," she mumbles undr her breath as she continues to back up until she bumps into Kal and Karen and cringes towards them. She didn't understand how the others could be so close to it...it scared the heck out of her, and she couldn't even fully make it out yet.

The girl brings her right hand to her lips, ready to blow the thing an absolute zero kiss. "That thing is icky...totally icky. Lets be quick and send it back, it doesn't belong here."

 

[Tokiwong]

Cassie crosses over to her other 'self' curious as to why nothing is colored but her, but sensing that her old home is a 'safe point' here.

The more she walks towards it the further it gets, as if the street is getting wider. Then it snaps and she is face to face with Ryan with a smug grin. She is on the other side of the street, and she looks back and she can’t even see her foster father’s home. It lost in the gray concrete jungle.

Ryan speaks, “Where do you think you are going? I can’t afford to have you getting lost out here. You need to turn around and go back, I am not about to lose my only meal ticket against Overseer. Don’t make me drag you back, Cassie… besides it’s for your own good,” he grins.

The Summoning

The being begins to twist and take final shape with the sounds of bones breaking, flesh tearing, and other equally disgusting sounds. Before she stares back at Gilden, there is a cool hatred behind the eyes, but she is the spitting image of the Red Witch.

It hisses… it takes a tentative step forward and then recoils with a louder hiss. It speaks in a soft husky voice, “You have contained me,” the grin is sickeningly wicked, “but I can sense the fear in this room… and the mark of the Mistress,” she glances at Kelly with a hungry look.

Before focusing on Gilden, “Oh yes, I smell the fear and hatred… it fills me… with such… pleasure. Come closer and I can show you just how pleasurable it can be…”

"No, it's for YOUR good not mine." She says as she turns back to face hereself, to try and reach that other self. "You should consider that if I am your meal ticket..that angering me might not be in your best interests."

She moves to go back to where she was trying to go again, but is ready to react if Ryan lays hands on her.

"Oh brother," Anika mumbles. The thing was bound, it knew it, and it was trying to get them to make a mistake. She wasn't fazed, however. "Okay, everybody, let's sing Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows, maybe we can make it spew," she says, trying to lighten the mood somewhat.

As Gilden had cast the ritual, he was the one that could compel it to answer his questions, so Anika simply continued to concentrate on maintaining the barrier.
