This wasn’t what you expected...
@fishprincessofthelaw
Lavender Zone is closed since it's Monday and that's perfect for you. Especially when you have so much on your mind and need some privacy.
You still can’t believe it has been over two weeks since you got back. Even though you are at Midnight City and seen your old friends and some new people, it's hard to understand if this is real and how long things will last. Or... Is this some kind of mind game they are playing with you again?
You shake your head harshly to ignore that thought. They told you are ready and let you go. This is real and you are free.
However, they did give you a personal mission. A mission to find your own way to honor the Noble Circle's Gods. It's not worth to say out loud but you haven't figured that out yet and you are worried they aren’t satisfied enough of your efforts. This makes you afraid of them and you know what they are capable of. You don’t wanna make them angry. That’s the last thing you would ever consider.
Anxious to find answers you decided it’s time to ask some guidance from lower level and that is why you are today spending your evening at your dear shop. To commit some harmless low level horrorterror summoning rituals. Nothing too special. Just a little summoning ceremony for guidance.
... Is summoning horrorterrors illegal?
Hmm... No, it shouldn’t be. You are alright and won’t talk about this with anyone. Probably.
Okay, you have your Grimoire of Horrorterrors, candles, salt, chalk, athame, match box, lotus incense... Yes, you have collected everything you need to make this ritual work. You do need to move your shop's belongings a little bit so you move the table in the kitchen and your chair as close to the wall you can.
Note to yourself, get some light furniture since these are heavier than they look.
Now you need to start the actual job which is to draw a perfect circle and star to have the base before you start writing any ritual sigils on the floor. Time flies and after two hours you light up the last candle and ready to start.
You close for a moment your eyes to focus and just breath. After you open your eyes, you draw blood from your delicate finger tips with sharp ritual knife, which makes you grimace for a moment. After that, you start walking around the circle and guide blood drops to fall on the star symbol five times.
It’s time.
“H’t sas’h yar.” “T't ayar rule't tis f’rhi sas’h ph’g.” “Ya surround yself tis jalu.”
“N’ghft gohluyng fut geb.” “T't naflble fu ma.” “T't naflble sas’h callet geb.” “Mir ma t't wirg.”
After a moment of focusing and chanting, you start to feel how the air temperature drops. The magical energy starts focusing on the center of your drawn symbols and if your shop was earlier dim, it is now turning even darker, looking like this entity is devouring the light itself. From the center of star is now raising up magical fog and it whirls around your shop with resolution little while until it starts shaping itself.
Now... Take a deep breath, brace yourself and don’t let the fear take control. They are your friends, not enemies, unless you make them. You are ready to face this horrorterror.
