The ritual

Back on the apartment building

Riding the elevator Adrian hiding on the crate, was hearing the clansmen chatter

"I am telling ya men does bones where crazy looking, they look like normal bones, but the skull jaw, splits in two, and has sharp teeth, I bet those are Dark stalker bones"

Another men ask, "what are those Dark stalkers??"

Making the last men respond "Dark stalkers are an almost extinct race of void humans, they can make them selfs semi invisible, like a shrouding cloak, when ever they want, they are the best hitmen and assassin ya can wish for

Hearing that Adrian was more then interested, he needed, a skull, right arm and left leg to finish his skeleton, he only needed the location and he might as well take the bone for a walk right??

The elevator stop at the ritual floor and the 3 men push the crate to middle of the room, leaving it inside and leaving

Adrian came out of hiding looking at his surroundings, he was inside of dim light room, with violent fire torches, barely illuminating, the floor and ceiling, at the center on the room hanging from the ceiling a old men in priest robes, was hanging with his hand tight together, and face looking down

Adrian: looks like that bastard Tekan got him self a priest huh??, he might be initiating a new shaman, but using a priest instead of a normal persone is a way more advance ritual

Deep in thought Adrian realized the possibility of the voodo book being brought here

Adrian: even if brings the book, how is he going to remove the blessing of the church, you need a external force to intervine, and a vessel to transfer the blessing??

Adrian eyes open wide knowing what this meant

Adrian: he is going to use my people sacred book to strip the blessing and use the voodo book for the sacrifice, but why going through all the trouble.... maybe the souls has more value for the dark beings after all the body was blessed by holy power and the result of the ritual will make the voodo gods satisfied with the sacrifice of a light force priest, thr new initiate will receive a fat better blessing from the gods giving him a better affinity with the dark element

Following his own deductions Adrian start to make a plan, searching for a hiding spot Adrian notice a black wood cabinet in the corner, if you don't pay attention you surely will miss it, getting close to the cabinet Adrian tried to open it the cabinet was locked with runes and engravings

Adrian: what do we have here a advance carving with children bone powder, that's a very tough seal, for someone else reaching to his backpack pulling a pen with blue engravings Adrian start mana carve the cabinet seal destroying the seal with some ease

Adrian: really, for a master voodo shaman, he did not modify the seal and leave it as it come in the books, what a pity and lack of care

Adrian open the cabinet a dark duffle bag, was inside, opening it Adrian notice the bones, a happy smile from on Adrian's face

Adrian: hahahaha yes sir, free bones, I have almost all the requirements for my undead

While laughing Adrian heard footsteps, and went into hiding closing the cabinet door taking the bag and shrouding him self on the corner

Tekan walk in the room with eight people six men and two women, one one of the two women being a curly black hair girl with yellow eyes in handcuffs, the other women a black lady with ritual gown was holding a rope tight around the neck of the captive women, the other men, started to arrange the ritual materials around the room, until Tekan call a one of the men

Tekan: Andre, come here, ya need to be ready for da ritual, prepare da blood drawing on da old men

Andre: yes boss

Andre signal the other men, to take the clothes of the old guy, frowning the men undress the old men and Andre started to write with chicken blood and a brush on the old men, after 10 or so minutes Andre finish and Tekan spoke

Tekan: da preparation are done, we should start the ritual, deshany, bring the vessel, and ya guys start the chant

Deshabty the black women pull the black hair girl under the old men, the 5 men stared to chant, and Andre pull out a ritualistic dager from his robes.

Tekan brought out 2 books, one made out of Demi-sheep folk skin, and the other a Dark brown, book with what it looks like a face with its lips and eyes sew together, the white book being the book of Adrian's Clan The Hangman Forest, and the black one being the last vodoo volume, stolen from the vodoo queen her self

Tekan instructed Andre

Tekan: wake da men when he starts to beg for his life and crying, stab him on da throat, and keep pulling da dagger down till his intestines are visible

Andre walk to the men and smack him with bottom of the dager, the men woke up, because of the pain and look around frantically, when the men was aware of his surroundings, and looking at tekan and Andre, he broke down

Sacrifice: NO NO NO NO NO DONT DO IT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I NEVER DID NOTHING WRONG I WAS A LOYAL MEMBER OF THE CHURCH PLEASE I BEG YOU

Andre: the member of the church should be unbreakable right, why is he begging

Tekan: they are only on da battlefield next to other members of da church, by them selfs they are weak

Andre: all right

Andre getting closer to the crying priest Aiming his dager at the throat " NO NO NO NO NOOooooo.....aaaaaaaghhhhhht" while pulling the dager down the priest beg while he choke on his blood coming out his neck while he was being open apart like a animal fot slaughter

The chant intensified tekan started to read the white book and out of the air a dark hand came out and went inside the priest gaping hole where his intestines where falling, pulling a golden phantom dove, that was struggling, the hand was moving towards the girl, at that moment tekan pull the other book and started to resite a chant, the hand slowly was getting closer to the girl, in that moment she pull a cylinder out of her robe and ingnated it with one of the torches around

Tekan saw that and scream " NO EVERYONE OUT, THAT A FLESH EATER GAS GRANADE!!!"

Adrian watching everything unfold rush out of hiding, sprinting towards tekan, taking advantage of the commotion, taking the books from tekan hands

Tekan: WHAT IN TH...

Adrian rush out through the door. Outside the room there was pack full of clansmen, behind him the 4 member manage to come out, the black women, tekan, Andre and one of the men that where chanting, just when they close the door.

BOOMMM..... and small explosion sounded, with Tekan screaming

Tekan: GET AWAY, GET AWAY FLESH EATING GAS, RUN RUN RUN.... SEAL THE FLOOR WHEN WE ARE SAFE

When the words flesh eating gas where scream all the member voted away leaving the floor, because Adrian cloak and the momentary panic, Tekan forgot about the books and intruder, trying to get away from the area.

Flesh eating gas, the most use gas by the UM on the battlefield, it come in artillery shells, granades, rockets, and airplanes payloads, it leaves the bones intact, but eats away all flesh and organs that where in the body, but only lasts for 10 min

Adrian with no way to go down or up, after all the clansmen where on alert because of the gas and him stealing the books, was stuck on that floor 120, the only way to leave was on elevator or the stairs, that if you don't count that they seal the whole floor
