"Tonight, my brothers, the limits will be pushed. The fullest vestiges of the human psyche will be probed. And more than one of you will no doubt contribute to our little experiment. Your efforts and sacrifice will be noted and appreciated."
The wizened man bowed to his pupils, four cloaked and cowled figures in the darkness. They bowed back reverently, before striding to take their places at the alter stone. Each standing at one of five points of the pentagram inscribed in the stone, they looked down at the shivering, bound figure laying on the pentagonal altar.
The master stood over her at the peak of the star. He filled his old lungs with air and began a wheezing chant. His followers took up the chant, voices deep and harsh, high and musical, all chanting along with their master. At the peak of their chant, the old man brought up a knife and a black cock, breaking the unfortunate bird's neck with one twist and neatly severing the lolling head, allowing dark blood to spatter down over the girl's belly.
There was a roiling sound, like a faraway whirlpool, and darkness coalesed above the altar. It opened slowly, and a dark form swirled out, descending swiftly into the girl's mouth and vanishing from sight. A second form stroked dark tendrils over the girl's eyes before plunging through them, and a third ran a long tentacle down her belly before pouring itself down under her skirt, also vanishing.
The master staggered, exhausted, but their work was done. Only the girl remained, still bound eagle-spread to the altar. With another pleased chuckle, he gestured at one of his apprentices. "Carl, my brother. To you it is given the first go. Spill her virgin's blood upon the altar."
The hood fell back, revealing a lean young man with predatory eyes. He unclasped his cloak, and it fell away from his naked body in a dark flood. Mounting the altar, he leaned over the girl, running his fingers up her neck, then grabbing her jaw and forcing her to look at him.
"My name is Carl," he said, softly. "Remember that when you curse me."
He slid his fingers down her body again, lingering over her breasts, then going farther down to her hips, pulling away her skirt.
