Blood and Demons
« Thread Started on Mar 27, 2006, 4:06pm »

An office was more upscale than the castle had been. Autumn was pleased. She could move in an actual sound system, furniture...and not feel as if she were...stifling the true nature of the place. As it was, she was sitting on the floor, having pushed back the rug to bare wood.

The charmer drew a pentagram of white chalk. She lit candles at each star point. Electricity ruined the effect. There was a single silver bowl in the center, where she sat. Autumn held an athame in her other hand and, with wisteria leaves crunched tight in her fist, she slit her wrist. Not deep enough to hurt.

But enough for blood to seep out of the wound, into the dish.

"Azrael of Qlippoth, come to me
By blood I summon you
By spirit I sustain you
By magic I bind you
Come to me, Azrael, speaker of devils"

It was not black magic. It was gray. Her sacrifice, no one else. But she had to know the truth. Vampires. Vampires were -never- a good sign en masse. And if she had to speak to the Devil to get an answer, she would.

The star seared red as Hell, then he appeared. A man, nothing more, nothing less. Not corporeal. He was silver gray, clad in Victorian costume. His eyes were black. Demon.

"Little witch, what an honor. What do you wish that causes your sweet pulse to jump? I smell fear." He waggled one finger at Autumn, amused by the stark terror she sought to hide. "You can't lie to me, little witch."

"I gave you my blood. Answer a question."

"Aye, you did." He made a great show of inhaling, licked his lips. "Witch blood tastes best. I thank you." His heavy lidded eyes fixated on hers, as if laughing. "You wish to know about the vampires."

She nodded, swallowed. "Should I hunt them?"

He laughed outright at that. "Little witch, asking me for permission?" She flushed scarlet. "Should you...should you...yes. If you don't, they'll kill you. They'll rip you apart and violate you...in such a manner even I won't be tempted. Oh yes, little witch. You should kill them now. They'll drench your precious city in blood if you do not."

Autumn couldn't breathe. She felt the blood drain from her face. "Are you lying to me?"

He smiled, like a Cheshire cat. "Is that another question? I'll need more than blood if you want an answer. You know how this works." She did.

She wasn't willing to give him what he wanted. "Be gone with you, Azrael, Bane of Gods."

"I do miss the old names," he said wistfully. He tipped an imaginary top hat to her. "Feel free to summon me again, little witch." He smacked his lips obscenely. "I like your scent."

He was gone.

"Shit," Autumn whispered. Oh yeah...one hell of a war indeed.

Power can be taken, but not given. The process of taking is empowerment in itself.
