The Blood Moon Ascendance
Goddess please let this ritual go smoothly.
Isaac's protests grew louder, desperate. "Please, no! I'll talk, just... just don't do this!"
But Gonzales continued, undeterred, the ritualistic words flowing from him in a powerful stream. I watched, a silent observer, as the air shimmered with unseen forces, the boundaries between the natural and the unnatural blurring before my eyes.
As the ritual reached its crescendo, Isaac's cries faded into a stunned silence, his body going rigid as the energies enveloped him. The light from the ritual cast strange shadows across his face, highlighting the fear, the uncertainty, and the eventual resignation in his eyes.
