Chanting continued as I drew from the energy fields of the three practitioners. Faint particles of liquid ether floated in the air. I used them to create a temporary body, much like a space suit. It formed to my current likeness and acted like a mirror projecting an image of my current depraved state. I looked nothing like I once did on earth. The skin on my face was cracked, dry, and scaly. It hung loose and appeared over one hundred years old. My hair, not more than a few gray strands, hung past my shoulders. My teeth were rotten and my eyes black as death. One of the practitioners let out a frightened shriek as my presence slowly became visible to them. The process was exhausting and took intense focus to pull off. No one spoke until the initial shock subsided. Justin took the lead as he had always done, having no clue that his former friend was the devil he conjured.
“I am your master.” The cracking of Justin's voice let me know of the sorry state of fear consuming him.
