Balimere stops his chanting and discards the scroll, which crumbles to ashes in midair. Ghede approaches the shrine, and places a small knife, various poisons, and countless Nightshade flowers on an altar in front of it. He places a book on the altar, and it flips open by an unseen wind. Balimere shivers.

Ghede: "Sithis, spirit of the void and lord of strife and doom, hear my cry! I have been disowned by anyone I may have once called an ally. In my desperation, I turn to you, the one who is both the beginning and the end."

There is resounding laughter, and the shrine glows with a color akin to blood. When a voice finally cuts through the silence, the room vibrates slightly from the sheer power of the speaker.

Sithis: "Interesting.... It has been too long since a mortal has visited my shrine. Tell me... what can I expect in return?"

Ghede: "Bloodshed. Much bloodshed, my lord."

Sithis: "Hmm.... do you submit your soul to me?"

Ghede: "I do, my lord."

Sithis: "Do you submit your will to me?"

Ghede: "Yes, my lord."

Sithis: "And your mortal form? Do you submit it to me?"

Ghede: "I do.... my lord."

There is more laughter.

Sithis: "Then I fill you with the power and knowledge of the void, mortal. May blood seep into the void."

The cavern glows brighter and brighter until Ghede's vision is filled with red before it darkens.
