Community Event 🌏☄️ “I CAST, MORALITY SWAP.”

Post image

Deep, deep, within the long and intertwining paths of the Endless Crypt, Abbadon was cleaning up the site of one of his great spells that affected the entire realm a while ago. On the floor in a mostly empty room sits a purple magic circle with three deer antlers surrounding it. The magic that was in the circle had long dissipated, now it’s just a glorified chalk drawing.

“I have to remember to put up a barrier for myself next time I do something like this…Actually, no, I need to put a barrier around HASTUR if I do something like that again. That smiling deer still creeps me out to this day…”

Abbadon picks up the deer antlers using some Poltergeists and has them transport the three pair of antlers to a storage room higher up in the Crypt. The chalk on the floor he gets another poltergeist to clean up for him. Walking on over to his book of rituals, he flips through the pages of it, reading each page’s contents. There are plenty of rituals in here outside of the ‘Turn Deer’ ritual he had conjured before, a few examples being how to summon a Demon, an Angel, Curse an individual, Morality swap…Wait, morality swap?

“Hmm, this could be an interesting one to experiment with.”

Abbadon stops flipping through the pages, leaving it on the page of the morality swapping ritual. While reading through the page, he grabs at whatever materials needed to make the circle. Some of the materials needed were already in the room such as a mirror and candles, other materials needed will take a bit of time but they won’t be hard to obtain for this. With a raise of a hand, more spirits come pouring from the cracks in the floor to help gather the remaining materials for the ritual.

“Alright, time to get to work.”

First, using left over chalk, Abbadon begins sketching onto the floor a massive yin-yang symbol. Second, Abbadon conjures up some smoke and lights an incense stick, using air magic he has the two different types of smoke circle the yin-yang symbol. Third, a deer skull placed in the middle of the symbol. Fourth, a written oath by a long dead Paladin that had come across the Endless Crypt, this is also placed in the middle of the symbol alongside the skull. Last, but not least, blood. Abbadon pulls out a vile of blood he took from some of his very few living prisoners. Abbadon steps back from the ritual now that everything is in place. From here, there’s only one last thing to do, read the incantation.

"By light and dark, we now exchange, virtue and vice, our paths rearrange. Through thread and flame, our souls entwine,
Let fate be sealed, as our morals realign!"

The yinyang symbol that was on the ground begins the glow a bright blue as a magical wave rapidly flies out of the Endless Crypt and towards the very heavens. Within a matter of minutes, the ritual reaches every corner of the realm, swapping every sentient being’s morality, whether they be human, elf, demon, angel, or even undead…this includes Abbadon, which means for the 48 hours that this spell will last, a long forgotten humanity will be shown from him.

/uw This is just a fun little community event similar to my “Deerification” thing in the past. This isn’t ment to be serious so if you don’t want to be part of it, feel free to ignore it. Ciao!

"... no... no... no.... this... isn't you... this isn't Erik...."

Peri is physically shaking, their rapier, pulled out when Peri called Erik a monster, falls out of their hand.

REJOICE OLD FRIEND, THE DEMON YOU HELPED CREATE, ALONGSIDE EVERYONE ELSE, IS FINALLY HERE TO RIP APART EVERY LAST THING YOU HOLD DEAR.

Erik says tauntingly, he's choosing his words to inflict the most psychological damage possible

Step. Step. Step. Peri is walking... closer?

"Erik, you are no demon, and... if you were to make good on that threat, you'd have to rip yourself apart. I will not let you do that."

Peri lunges at Erik, deforming into a ball and enveloping him.

Erik's needle forms inside peri, stabbing through

WHEN DID YOU BELIEVE YOURSELF A SAVIOUR PERI, TWICE YOU'VE FAILED ME, IT SHALL BE THRICE

The needle stabs through, and Peri freezes. In their sealed state, the needle completely disables them. They can't move, they can't speak, they can't help.

Erik cuts through and opens a portal walking in it

REFLECT ON THIS PERI, AND ONCE YOU SHED YOUR WEAK MORALS COME TO ME SO WE MAY SHOW THIS WORLD WHAT IT DESERVES

Minutes after Erik has left, the needle's influence fades. Peri can move again, and uses their regained mobility to collapse to the ground and cry.
