[15:00] Niobe Flux [Angeline] scooped up the dying song-bird. She knew that time was of the essence if her ritual was to prove fruitful. She took the steps two at a time as she quickly made her way out of the manor.
[15:01] Niobe Flux [Angeline] cut around the back of the manor and made for the Ravens Wood. She new the path was a little long than her normal route to the magick lab, but she was confident she would not be stopped for a bit of idle conversation along the way. Seeing no one about she made a quick dash from the edge of the wood to the lab, slamming the door behind her with a bang. [15:02] Niobe Flux [Angeline] gave the songbird a quick inspection to make sure it was still among the living. It's eyes were half closed, and the lids moved slowly when it tried to blink. The feathers looked dull and gritty. They seemed to lack the vibrancy of life as the bird lay near death. Angeline placed the songbird in the center of her ritual space, quickly moving about the lab as she gathered her materials. She muttered and cursed at herself for not having everything prepped ahead of time, but she wasn't expecting a chance to apply the summons so soon.
[15:03] Niobe Flux [Angeline] disrobed, exchanging her daydress for her ritual wear. Allowing her more freedom of movement while still pandering to her vanity. Angeline stepped inside the ritual space with an armload of supplies. She lined up her tools as she made ready the ritual. N ear the songbird Angeline placed a polished golden bowl, complete with a matching fleam. Next she placed a large sumi-e brush, scroll and large incense burner. She sprinkled granules of frankincense, myrrh into the bed of coals and soon the air was thick with the fragrant smoke.
[15:05] Niobe Flux [Angeline] forgo casting her protective circle before this particular ritual. It was her belief that doing so would cause offense to the shadow essence she would try to summon.
[15:07] Niobe Flux [Angeline] knelt before be body of the bird, it's beak half open while it watched with half closed eyes. She wasted no time watching the bird, knowing she had only a small window in which to work with. If the bird dies before the ritual was complete, all her work would be in vain.
[15:10] Niobe Flux [Angeline] held the golden bowl in her right hand and the scalpel in her left. Placing the edge of the scalpel against her right hip she scored herself with three cuts, each about two inches long. Angeline held the golden bowl to her thigh, catching the blood as cuts began to bleed freely. She then did the same on her left hip, but the marks were not as neat and slightly deeper as she used her off hand to deliver the cuts.
[15:13] Niobe Flux [Angeline] placed the bowl of blood in front of her. Picking up the sumi-e brush she dipped it in the blood before beginning to paint a stylized glyph on the songbird. One smooth line of blood lead from the bird back to Angeline. She dipped the brush again as she began to paint the same arabesque glyphs on herself. The glyphs complete she sat back on her knees, her palms outstretched as she began to chant. " O-Da-Mas... O-Da-Mas. I Rachana, do dare breach the veil. I Rachana, do dare to breach the wall of sleep. I dare to call out across the eathers, cross space void, where time lives not. I Rachana do call you to my side." She picked up the ancient scroll, unrolling to to read the text within.
" I by True Name call upon you. Anac-loth-otah! Hear me. Anac-loth-otah! I Rachana, dare summon thee from thy slumber! Anac-loth-otah, I Rachana do call you from your Dreaming." The smoked filled air twisted and churned before Angeline. She suddenly found herself lightheaded as she smoke began to thicken before her eyes. The thick smoke began to darken as the air became cloying with the scent of rich opium. The dark smoke began to shift as it began to take of a feminine form. It's eyes seemed to glow. The smoke form began to speak, but it's lips did not move as Angeline heard a voice in her head a brush of silk along her mind. ' You, Rachana have called Me. I felt the pull of my Name across the aeons. As called, so shall I answer.' [15:22] Niobe Flux [Angeline] held out her hands, offering the remainder of the blood towards the figure of smoke. "Planetary Bondage. Impart but a fraction of your being, a slice of your dreaming essence into the vessel I have prepared, to aid me in my personal quests. Bond a fraction of yourself to this plane and by my True Name, Rachana, also named Angeline Xavier Blackrain, will serve you for an equal time and equal service. I will ask of you nothing that I am not willing to do in return. By Blood, By Dreaming Dark I swear this."
[15:25] Niobe Flux [Angeline] The smoky djinn hovered in front of Angeline as she made her oath. It stared at her with unblinking eyes before suddenly rushing forwards towards the offered bowl. the smoke rolled around and up the sides of the bowl before pouring in, filling the space with a swirling haze. The djinn absorbed the offering quickly, tasting the truth in her blood. it's eyes glowed as the djinn spoke inside her head once more. 'Mutual Bondage. It is agreed.' The Djinn's form began to fade but not without a word of warning, "You have but a fraction of myself to use. Do so wisely."
[15:30] Niobe Flux [Angeline] felt a rush as the smoke seemed to spin down towards the songbird's open break. A thin finger of smoke entered the bird's mouth, filling it's tiny lungs. The songbird began to flap and twitch against the floor, it's wings beat wildly as it righted itself. The songbird sat looking up at Angeline with bright shiny eyes. It hopped once, then let out a trilling warrble before taking flight about the lab. The songbird flew from shelf to shelf examining papers, books and other materials scattered about.
[15:34] Niobe Flux [Angeline] Done with it's inspection the song bird flew to Angeline's shoulder. She stroked the top of the birds head with a smile as she spoke to it, " Name, name...what's in a name." Angeline thought for a moment before giving a slow amused smile. " We shall call you Psychopomp, if you find it favorable, birdling." The song bird gave Angeline a tilt of it's head and let out a series of chirps, that almost sounded like a strange kind of laughter.
