Title: Binding and Spells
Author: Lord Rune Artisem
It was time. For the last few weeks the weak forces of the Light had been searching and searching for me in some feeble attempt to break my control over the city of Skara Brae. So far they had managed to hunt down some of the weaker members of the Society, but their goal so far had ended with failure. And the events of this night would further make certain that failure would continue for them.
Because I would not tolerate anything that would put my ultimate designs at risk.
Lynne Darkthorne stood within the center of the large warehouse in the northern district of Skara Brae. Large black crystals were to her front, left, right, and back. Several members of the Society stood about the entire room as they waited as to why I had gathered them here. Erland Silverrose, Durial Lycan, Ole Jelly, Sigurd Rotharia, and Anais de Quoi had all heeded my summons and now surrounded The Lady.
And so now I would split that which is bonded...
I gave a quick little speech before engaging in the actual ritual. I told them that they were here to bear witness to the splitting of the powers that held Skara Brae to my phylactery.
For it was there that the small box that held my essence and being also held my control over this city. The weakness is that should the phylactery ever be destroyed then so would the grip of Darkness that held Skara Brae. So I would be splitting this power to make certain that the Darkness would reign forever. For half would be bonded to the phylactery and the other would be held within the soul of Lynne Darkthorne.
And then that would give the idiots of Virtues even more problems. For one is much easier to gain than two.
I then removed and held my phylactery to the sky.
A sudden silence swept the room with this action and all eyes were upon me. I let loose many ancient and forgotten words as I made a request to the powers of Death and Darkness. I then slowly began to take float and released a small and sudden surge of magic into my phylactery.
The small little box then quickly shifted into a long obsidian staff. I held the staff and pointed in the direction of Lynne Darkthorne. I looked into her eyes as she looked into mine. And then a wave of dark energy came forth from the staff and into The Lady.
Her body shook and her facial expression was that of pain. And then a smile came across her face which was followed by a dark laughter.
And so it was done.
