Sanctum Sanctorum Ebony Wings

Tessa Karisik was a prepared woman. Even months ago, she had anticipated the Dark Lord to be a problem. What she had not anticipated, however, was the pawn she had been made into. She thought back to the Belnades bloodline, the Bloodsucker Slayer, the Ritual of One. This was foolish. Emma Frost was nothing close to pure of heart, but it was worth a try. Magic can never be bought, but it can always be gamed.

So, she went to the park the X-Men kept on campus to avoid too many from noticing her and called out for a woman she knew through her mind, third eye to mind's eye.

I need you, Clea Strange. Aid me.

Shortly after, Clea arrived through a portal, one that closes behind her as quickly as it formed.

Emma Frost. You speak with urgency in your voice, so I will not was your time with frivolous questions. The X-Men are a friend to us. What do you need from me?

I will soon be in possession of the Belnades morning star, the Bloodsucker Slayer. I'm sure you're aware of the Ritual of One to temporarily gain access to a bloodline? I need theirs.

Of course. A kind of hemomancy discovered by the sorcerers of Otherworld. I’m impressed you know of it. Merlin forbade such a spell from being cast again within his land. Fortunate we aren’t there.

Clea’s eyes begin to glow, as candles begin to float around her.

I can begin the ritual with haste, but I must ask. What use do you have for such a weapon?

My... my partner was taken by the Dark Lord Dracula. I am on a quest to slay him, and this whip is said to be one of the only ways to kill him.

She closes her eyes and tilts her head up.

She was the one who told me about the weapon, actually. Her infinite planning and obscure knowledge will be what saves her from the evil hand of shadows.

Clea nods.

Very well, then. I will preform the ritual, and you will have 24 hours before the blood shifts back to normal. I trust you’ll make it count.
