"I know this isn't the most ethical solution, but ethics isn't going to bring my power back." Khalfani said to their loyal steed. The Gryphon grumbled. She was well aligned with the energies of the world and of course she wasn't fond of the type of energy Khalfani would be tapping into. Darkness was one thing for the Gryphon, but what the young vampire was doing required evil, sinister magic. Blood magic like the one they were about to use was a forbidden art. It took Khal days to study the "Black Book". Apparently the author was a summoner who used blood magic to conjure monsters from their respective hells. Everything in this book was bound to come with some downsides. As far as the Nightmare mage knew, the risk was their own mind. The author eventually lost his own mind because of his obsession with blood rituals. Alas, this was the only way for Khalfani to propel themselves into the realm Daisia had helped them get to. Khalfani wanted their divine powers back. It was in their blood. If the sun entity could purge the parasite that was vamprism out of them and give them back their powers, then the risks were well worth the results. So, the young Desiertan began to place six candles in a circle. The cemetery was the most convenient place to do this ritual because there was a great amount of death and agony here. Most of the people buried in this cemetery were bound to have died unhappy in some form. The area was silent and cold. Only the whistles of the frosty breeze sang- if you didn't count the Gryphons occasional growl. "Trust me, I would never put you in harms way. It'll be over before you know it. A minute in the real world is like 10 minutes." Khalfani assured their companion. When the final candle was placed into the soil, a droplet fell onto the vampires hand. As they turned towards the sky, suddenly, an army of rain droplets began to fall. "Great. It's a good thing the candle fire is linked to my magic. As long as I don't die in the spirit realm, the flames should remain lit until I return."
