Private Blood Rites

Within the heart of the Crimson Void, hidden amidst the nightmarish landscape like a grotesque jewel encased in a tomb of flesh, lay the cyclopean city of Mordrak. Its twisted spires and spiraling structures, each hewn from dark, chiseled stone that seemed to throb with a sinister pulse, reached towards the maddening heavens like the gnarled fingers of an ancient, malevolent god. The city's very architecture oozed with eldritch intent, evoking a sense of cosmic horror that whispered of forgotten pacts and accursed destinies.

Mordrak's streets were a winding labyrinth of serpentine alleys and shadowed boulevards, their uneven cobblestones slick with the viscous residue of infernal rituals that knew no number in their frequency. The buildings themselves, their facades etched with nightmarish reliefs that seemed to writhe in agony, leaned and twisted as though contorted by the unfathomable forces that permeated the very air. Gargoyles of grotesque design clung to the sides of buildings, their eyes like crimson embers burning with a malevolent sentience that bore witness to the city's unholy secrets.

As one ventured deeper into the city, the air grew thick with the acrid stench of incense and decay, a noxious blend that clung to the senses like a suffocating shroud. Strange, flickering lanterns cast an eerie, blood-red glow over the streets, their spectral light barely illuminating the nightmarish tableau that unfolded with every step.

The city's inhabitants, like spectral phantoms, moved in haunting procession through the coral-hued gloom. Their forms, twisted and contorted by the very essence of Mordrak, bore the marks of a grotesque communion with the cosmic horrors that dwelled within the nebula above. Their eyes, radiant orbs of baleful carmine, seemed to weep blood as they chanted incomprehensible incantations that resonated with the very heartbeat of the void.

In the heart of Mordrak lay the central square, a nightmarish amphitheater bathed in a maelstrom of scarlet shades. A massive, churning obelisk, its surface carved with profane symbols and sigils that seemed to writhe and bleed, stood as the focal point of this horrific arena. It was here that the cultists of the Bloodbound Brotherhood gathered, their crimson cloaks, akin to a river of blood given form, billowed in the night like a torrential cascade of life's vital essence, their ritualistic fervor echoing through the tortured architecture and off in to the visceral skies for all to hear.

The very ground beneath the square pulsed with an otherworldly rhythm, as though the city itself were a living, breathing entity. As the cultists performed their gruesome rites, the obelisk's surface seemed to ripple and undulate, as if it were a gateway to dimensions beyond mortal comprehension, a portal through which the blood horrors of their baleful rituals sought to emerge.



Arkyrion had stood as a lone sentinel, his very presence a haunting echo of the world's unsettling nature. This nightmarish planet exuded an aura that whispered of forbidden secrets and ancient horrors, and Arkyrion, like a crimson thread woven into the fabric of the void, had become a part of its macabre tapestry.

The terrain beneath him was a grotesque spectacle, as if the world itself had bled and wept vermilion tears for eons. Jagged mountains rose like serrated blades, their peaks piercing the perpetual twilight of the sky. The ashen soil, soaked with the essence of countless rites, resembled the dried remnants of bloodstains upon a sacrificial altar. The sinuous chasms that crisscrossed the landscape seemed to ooze with malevolent intent, like ancient wounds that refused to heal.

The atmosphere itself was a ceaseless symphony of dread, as if the very air pulsed with the eerie cadence of a heartbeat steeped in eldritch terror. The nebulous clouds above, like a writhing veil, draped the heavens in their ghastly embrace, their shifting patterns reminiscent of coagulated arterial gore under the dim light of a persian moon.

The flora of this foul world appeared as though they had sprung from some blasphemous union of flesh and vegetation, their luminescent tendrils akin to arteries pulsating with a sickly life force. These grotesque plants cast bizarre, pulsating glows that bathed the terrain in a phantasmal radiance. Their roots, like veins, snaked through the soil, seemingly feeding on the very life essence of the planet itself.

Arkyrion's appearance, amidst this macabre symphony of crimson and darkness, was as haunting as the world that had consumed him. His hair, as white as bone, cascaded like apparitional tendrils down his slender frame, each strand imbued with a ghostly luminosity that mirrored the wraithlike glow of the nebula above. His form, draped in obsidian robes that clung to him like the very shadows of the void, exuded an ethereal grace that seemed to transcend the boundaries of mortal existence.

His blue-purple eyes, twin pools of twilight, held the secrets of the Blood Rites and the cabal's dark machinations. They seemed to bleed with an otherworldly intensity, a reflection of his deep immersion in this enigmatic world. His very physique, honed through weeks of solitary survival and introspection, bore the marks of a man who had danced with ghoulish forces and emerged with his essence forever stained red by the planet's sinister allure.

As he awaited the arrival of Adeline Noctua Adeline Noctua , atop the precipice of a vast peak overlooking the sprawling city below, he knew that their alliance may be a fragile lifeline in the face of the blood-soaked horrors that awaited them in the heart of this dread-soaked world. He'd never met the woman that had been dispatched to his aid, he knew her name only as Darth Keres, and the rumors that swirled through the halls of the Jutrand Academy. One of these. . . Vampires. . they'd say often. And that she was very cute.

There was a sort of bitter irony there, given this mission to put down this latest Sith Cult that sought to unsettle their Order even further than it already was and retrieve whatever artifacts they could from the aftermath.

The landscape, one which would repulse many or otherwise lead to feelings of pure disgust or fear... Did not do such to the avid occultist. Adeline, otherwise known as Darth Keres had a rather dangerous love for anything that was beyond normal understanding. That feeling, where your primal brain surges with curiosity and caution... How the madness can crack your head open like how we easily crack open an egg. Adeline only felt the curiosity, for by now a child of the stars was in her very veins. Her blood not just tainted by a vampiric blessing, but also a strange inky substance that functioned well enough in this reality. Does this make her some form of nightmare? A demon or devil? While the answer was subjective, she herself adored what reputation she had acquired by now. With many considering her a walking nightmare, able to burrow right into minds and break them.

This wasn't the first time someone had cried out for her help, with the last one being turned into her own tool that she could sharpen and use as she saw fit. Perhaps this man would join that same fate, beaten and broken till his very body collapsed, mind pushed and tormented until it cracked.

The body turned into a strong vessel, the mind blessed by fortitude and brilliance. Such was her way, much akin to how she herself learned under the dark lord Darth Carnifex Darth Carnifex . It was do or die, and she would be there to watch.

The covered up figure of Keres would soon walk up alongside him as he stared off, her battle scarred armor covered by a dark cloak. From behind her crimson visage she stared at him, a metal claw tapping at where her chin is.


"Arkyrion I would presume? This place is beautiful is it not?"

It was a simple introduction, and it seemed that his aid went to gazing off at the landscape instead of studying him more. In truth she wanted this place now, yet another target for her ambitions it would seem.




 
From this vantage point atop a towering peak that overlooked the sprawling nightmare of Mordrak and the ghastly expanse of this crimson-hued World, Arkyrion remained reticent to her introduction, his gaze—like her's soon followed, descending down upon the city like a dark omen. The jagged silhouette of it's vast architecture stretched out before them, a nightmarish labyrinth of twisted spires and spiraling structures that seemed to claw their way out of the very earth with a ruthless aggression.

The acrid scent of incense and decay wafting up, even, to this lofty perch, mingling with the appalling whispers of the wind that carried the chittering voices of the city's inhabitants. Strange lanterns cast a baleful, blood-red glow over the streets, their spectral light revealing only fragments of the grotesque scene unfurling far below them.

Beautiful, the woman had said, and that is what the young man allowed to linger between them.

The land below, and beyond, with its barbed mountains and meandering chasms, appeared as if it had been sculpted by the hands of ancient gods with a profound penchant for the macabre. The very terrain seemed to inhale, then exhale, with an otherworldly life, its contours a testament to the ceaseless interplay of forces beyond the mortal ken.

The amorphous clouds above, their mercurial patterns casting misshapen shadows, held a beauty that was as haunting as it was beguiling. The crimson glow they exuded bathed the landscape in a chimerical radiance, revealing the eerie, alien flora that dotted the terrain, each effulgent tendril a delicate brushstroke in this nightmarish masterpiece.

He drank in the surreal beauty that surrounded them. The city of Mordrak, with its nightmarish architecture and inhabitants, appeared as a dark jewel nestled within the crimson embrace of the Void. It was a place of terror and wonder, where the boundaries between reality and nightmare blurred into a mesmerizing dance.

"In a manner of speaking, Darth Keres, " he whispered, the words drifting in the air like a haunting refrain. "I can appreciate it's morbid splendor. "

As Arkyrion turned his gaze from the haunting spectacle below to meet Adeline's pale visage, he spoke with a voice that resonated like a deep and gravitational force, each word carrying a weight of respect and power. His tone was smooth and measured, a reflection of the reverence he held for her position and the acknowledgment of this now shared pursuit.

"I have heard a vast many rumors about you, Keres, some I dare admit—are quite true. " He'd never be so forward as to admit exactly what those were, not yet, not right now. "But those of your, " his voice held a respectful reverence for her capabilities and reputation, "Confliction. . . "

Should she have met his gaze, his eyes held a profound depth, as though they were the windows to an inner world rich with emotions and contemplation. They possessed a certain perplexing beauty, a quality that drew others in, much like the irresistible pull of a hidden, uncharted realm.

"How will a place like this affect one like you? " Unlike most Sith, or, at least those that he had come to encounter. Arkyrion's voice carried the promise of collaboration and shared exploration, a powerful melody that resonated with the profound respect he held for Adeline Noctua Adeline Noctua 's own formidable abilities and her place in this dark, enigmatic venture. But there was worry, a nagging feeling born of his own misconceptions and ideas about the things he had heard, and what exactly she was.

She raises a brow, listening in as he spoke. It took her a moment to pick up what he was hinting at, and then she connected it all together. The realization making the woman laugh a bit as she gestured a 'no no' with her metal clad finger.


"Dear, it takes more than some red landscape to urge on my hunger. If I so desired to drain the life out of your neck, I wouldn't be standing here within this moment."

It was adorable in a way, yet also clear that her once great and mighty species was long gone from the minds of men. With herself and what else was left being like a myth, a boogeyman.

"You are not the only one who knows so little of my kind, be assured I took no offense to that question."

She was rather curious what other rumors he may have heard, there had to be a fair amount going around.

"What all have you heard about me? I know people tend to tell stories, perhaps getting carried away."
