three → THE OMEN'S PRESENCE
( three → the omen's presence )
In the shadows, deep within the forbidden forest, lies the cult of chaos. The High Priestess, Melinoe, is at the forefront of this cult. For she alone talks to the Scarlet God, and in becoming their Omen, she has access to a multitude of abilities and knows a great deal of her power. The Scarlet God has spoken to their Omen, the Crown of Darkness is drawing near. The Scarlet God commands the Omen to summon the cult, and with this great incantation, the avatar of the Scarlet God will make itself manifest to the witch that is Lilith Midnight.
Melinoe, the Omen, obeys and summons the cult to begin the great incantation. This incantation needs a great deal of reagents, and so Melinoe begins to command the cult to gather them in secrecy. Despite the cult's attempts of secrecy, the Umbra knows of their secrets, but these reagents are foreign to them, making them unaware of what is happening or what kind of incantation is the cult trying to create.
The shadows retreat, and trying to report to the Mother of what the cult of chaos is brewing. Mother listens attentively to what her children are speaking and reporting, she is aware of the reagents being said to her, but the incantation is foreign to her. Mother says nothing other than to continue to gather intel regarding the cult's actions. Should things begin to escalate further, the shadows will consume such hypocrisy.
Her children nod, the Umbra has always been loyal to Mother, but this was something that they needed to do; for the shadows have done many things, their secrecy is an art that many attempt and fail to do. If Mother can only figure out the incantation being done, and their reagents, she might be the very thing that could stop the Scarlet God from manifesting into their reality and ultimately push the prophecy away.
The shadows that once lurk within the forbidden forest, now disappear. Melinoe, the Omen, watches carefully before continuing with her own incantation. While the cult of chaos gathers the reagents needed to make the Scarlet God manifest themselves into their own reality, Melinoe, however, has her own commandment to manifest.
She gathers the following reagents needed to create her own incantation, and into her own pot:
a crown in gold,
the darkest of erebus,
bones of a fell starchild,
wrym horns & three teeth,
blood ( of her own ),
soil ( softened ),
some moss,
& finally, the essence of Morpheus. ( 1/2 teaspoon )
Melinoe watches as her mixes her spell together. Though she has never done such spell before, she watches with how all of her reagents mixes through their own. The first reagent, the crown of gold, was consumed by the darkness that hailed from Erebus. Followed by the Wyrm horn mixing itself together with the blood that Melinoe shed for this incantation, the soil came next and together with the moss, it was finally encompassed by the essence of Morpheus.
As the reagents have been mixed together completely, the pot glowed in a great azure color. Melinoe clears her throat as she speaks the incantation in a foreign language. The mark of the Scarlet God began to appear from below her own pot, she took a quick glance before continuing.
❝ In nomine tenebrarum, vocamus te, Chaos Dominus.Ex umbris ad lucem, ex silentio ad clamorem. Sanguine et cinere, sigilla aperimus.Audi nos, qui servimus, et manifestare potentiam tuam. ❞
The mark of the Scarlet God changed in its nature; revealing a more sinister variant of its mark. This variation reveals a more sinister looking mark ― having much more sharper lines than its previous one, this seems to be the Scarlet God's way to reveal to the Omen that her incantation is working. Melinoe is somewhat spooked by the mark, as all those who see its mark will feel a sense of fear, but she continues her incantation as the Scarlet God tells her to.
❝ Chaos Dominus, audi nos. Chaos Dominus, manifestare. ❞
Melinoe, the Omen, continues her incantation. The ground shakes, as the mark below her pot grew more and more malevolent looking. The High Priestess grew more confident as she the incantation is reaching its final climax.
❝ Per coronam tenebrarum, mundus renascetur. Chaos Dominus, adveniat! ❞
In reaching the climax of the incantation, the mark of the Scarlet God reveals a menacing skull-like figure in its mark. The ground of the forbidden forest began to shake, and while the High Priestess did not waiver nor did she fear what was coming, the shadows of her own altar began to take a form of its own.
From the shadows of darkest Erebus, the power of the Scarlet God blessed its Omen, and gave her the gift to look into the dreams (or nightmares) of others. Melinoe grew more and more powerful, and has spoken to the Scarlet God of what will transpire next, Melinoe is now tasked to find Lilith Midnight as the incantation has now been casted.
