Autumn solstice. The veil thinned, ghosts drifting through halls chilled by the dead, under a moon like a glowing jack-o-lantern. A virgin sacrifice was due to bless the Ministry. The ritual room, dark and packed with hooded clergy and Papa Emeritus IV, buzzed. Sodo’s ghouls were chained, ready. A pentagram of candles and goat’s blood awaited. Suddenly, Mountain entered, carrying a blindfolded, gagged, tied girl. He set her on the black robe. Copia stepped forward. “Siblings of Satan!” he proclaimed. “The helish one gifts us a virgin to cast winter’s luck. *May her screams echo with grace.*” The room roared. Sodo, this year’s chosen, stalked toward his prize. Kill or fuck—it didn’t matter. Only the show for Satan.
