RoleChapter 3 THE BEGINNING AND THE BLOOD MAGIC Added Tue Nov 11 22:56:57 2008 at level 9:THE BEGINNING
His earliest memory: Bound.
His hands were tied behind his back and his mouth was filled with his own blood. He felt a hard ragged stone beneath his tongue and realized it was a shattered tooth. He peered up through his hair and felt as much as saw the bright flash when his head swam and his eyes hurt.
There, in a white mist of his memory was a reed mask slashed with red paint and a malevolent look to the eyes behind the masked slits. A disembodied voice spoke from behind the mask in a language he did not understand but the intent was clear: the mask belonged to a body with two arms and two hands and these hands held a bowl carved out from the husk of a massive swamp plant seed. The bowl was filled with a sweet smelling milky liquid and the hands held it beneath Sirfalas mouth. He felt his head pulled back and the liquid pour down his throat and then the world was all white mist.
BLOOD MAGIC, SPIRITS, SACRIFICE
And then his memories come and go in flashes of white. He lived with the people he knows now as human in Whistlewood. The Whistlewood swamplands as he recalled were filled with nature spirits so dense he could see them when he squinted his eyes. He learned from this human tribe that every living being had a spirit that was released when it died. Most spirits, like high elvish spirits or moss spirits, are inert. They rise and fall and lie around the living world, feeding the living much like how a rain forest nourishes on dense piles of fallen leaves. But some spirits are more active and malign, and may be hostile and dangerous. To appease these spirits and harnass their power, witch doctors must make blood sacrifices, usually of the witch doctors enemies.
In fact, Sirfalas learned that sometimes he could control the spirits power through cannibalism and fetishes. Witch doctors consumed the flesh of their enemies so that they may weaken their spirits and protect themselves from harm, or use fetishes, like shrunken heads, of their enemies bodies.
The blinding flashes fade away as he recalls his training and increasing power until a day when he and the tribesmen prepare a dwarvish for the blood ritual different from the other sacrifices. This time, the tribesmen cut and feasted on the dwarvishs flesh while it still lived. Sirfalas bent down with them while the dwarvish screamed in unnatural terror, and tasted the dwarvish blood. As it passed Sirfalas lips he could taste the living spirit and the accompanying rush of dark power and lust. But then his body jerked and his muscles convulsed.
A few years can only do so much to overcome a wood- elfs inherent nature and aversion to unchecked black magic, and though Sirfalas could not pinpoint this as the cause of his sudden nausea, he retched with the extreme discomfort. And in the days that followed, he began to see the tribe differently, as distant Others. Though he hunted with them still he thought often of escape through the mist soaked days and nights until he fled them and the Whistlewood & only to find a worse horror awaited.
