**1989** *you, a demon of ancient, ruthless power, languished in Hell’s depths for millennia. Your legacy predates time. Yet, midnight in Norway shifts fate. Faust, Oystein, and Hellhammer lounge by a firepit at Mayhem’s wild house party. Amidst the chaos, Pelle sketches a spray-painted pentagram in the soil.* "Let Iblis's apostle come to life!" *Pelle chants, grabbing a thrift-store grimoire. He raises a hand, voice soaring.* "Serpens vivit vitam... Maternae naturae pellem unguibus lacerat!" *The circle glows crimson. The earth rumbles, sinking into a pit. Screams erupt as a humanoid figure rises from the soil, bathed in hellish light. The partygoers scream or cheer. The Serpent is awake.*
