*azaroth looks down at the ground* I see...... so you had a Nightmare that dealt with me, with the ritual?
Beamer what the Ritual of Bonding is, is a text that details a ritual that a group of people known as the Acolytes of the Skin use to summon forth demons and then become one with them. By wearing the demon like a second skin
I can understand why this would make you uneasy so if you wish to understand my interest in the ritual then allow me to tell you a bit of back story pertaining to it. Growing up my father used to read me stories of epic conflicts between good and evil. I loved these stories and would share the ones I knew of with a friend of mine, his name was Maximillion Legrasse.
About 5 years ago Maximillion left my town, unannounced, and unexpectedly. I never heard from him again. for those years I believed him to be dead, then about 8 months ago I received a letter in the mail from him telling me he had discovered something astounding and wanted me to visit him immediately in his home in Orussuss. When I arrived at his home he showed me what he had been doing all this time. After hearing the stories I used to share with him he became fascinated with Demons and set out on his own to learn more about them, just as I have.
His research was very similar to my own his was a bit more indepth though. While doing my research I had read stories of a book that allowed people to wear the skin of a demon. but assumed it to be a legend, as most of the other stories I was reading at the time were. But Maximillion, he actually discovered evidence that suggested that it may not be a legend after all. It was an amazing find.
After showing me what he had found Maximillion's tone changed, in a quiet voice he told me he had actually found a page of the book on one of his recent travels. He showed it to me and I'll admit when reading it a feeling of excitement swept over me. That page was definately part of the lengedary ritual.
Anyways after seeing his research and reading that page, I decided that I would try and find the rest of that book, and study it. I imagine that if i got my hands on it, my knowledge of demons would become greatly enhanced.
I told Maximillion about my decision and he grew ecstatic, at that point he told me of his decision to do so as well and how he planned to leave that night. He said he had some contacts.......*Azaroth pauses for a minute* *he becomes a bit worried but attempts to shake it off and continue* that might have some information for him.
We spoke for a bit longer then I headed back to the Red Dragon for the night.
I've always been interested in the demonic Beamer. This is a rare text as most copies have been lost or destroyed. The potential information to be gained from such a text as this is great. Plus the text itself is a curiosity.
Beamer I understand your concern but my interest is to further my own knowledge in the subject, nothing more.
OOC: heh this was supposed to be up a LOOONG time ago but I started writing it when I was feeling tired. So a few sentences in I fell asleep on my bed. Had this in edit mode for about 8 hours. lol
