Chapter 5: Lost in Bliss
Demonic ritual
The demon stood in the ritual circle for a whole five minutes wondering if he did the suicide ritual correctly. Just as he was about to take a peek, he felt his life draining away at a breathtaking speed. His eyes opened as his body shriveled up, and crumbled to dust.
After a while the ritual circle started to glow once more, a small fist sized rock appeared almost floating an inch above the ground. After all the light faded from the circle the rock fell to the ground.
Sometime later
A light knock on the door*
Silence*
Some more knocking*
Silence*
Hard knocking on door*
Silence*
The sound of feet walking away...
Sometime later...
Footsteps returning*
Swoosh* Thunk* Rattle* Swoosh* Thunk* Crunch* Rattle* Swoosh* Thunk*.....
After an hour the large door fell into the room... A small girl in a maids outfit could be seen sweating and breathing hard while holding double bladed axe in her hands.
She weakly yelled, "You fucking... piece... of... TRASH!!.., how dare you not...?!" She sees desk covered in summoning ritual books, enters the room and looks around. "What has that idiotic fool bee...n...?!" She steps on something and slips and falls on her butt, kicking up dust everywhere... After rubbing her aching butt a bit she glanced at what she stepped on.... it was a small pile of dust. As she was about to gulp she noticed what was left of the ritual circle... * * * choking* gagging* spit* cough*....
After thoroughly spitting and coughing for a bit, she gets up and dusts herself off before leaving the room.
Sometime later*
She returns with a mop, a broom, a duster and a bucket.
Cleaning noise*
Spud of someone tripping*
"Agh. What the... ? Why is there a.... Oh god the floor!!!!!"
Time passes.
The room is clean of all the dust (corpse) which was collected in the bucket. But the ritual circle and the rock were left alone on the ruined floor. "I guess I better report to the master that the weak link is gone, but what to do with that bloody heavy rock?" She is just about to walk off to inform her master, but was surprised to find her master right behind her. "Greetings master..." Bows

The master walks by the maid and says, "leave, but leave the bucket as well."
"Understood master."
After the maid had left, the master was done examining the object pf intrigue. AKA the floor and the cause of the floors distressed state. AKA the rock. "So desperate to become something your not... Sigh.... If only the fool had... Oh what am I saying he died trying to become something more... Than he was"
"But before I send for the crafting guild I guess I better get rid of the rock" reaches down and makes an attempt to remove the hindrance... Argh... Gahhh.... Urgh... 'What is this freaking thing made of?! Sigh.... I better pay the dwarves a visit ^.^ I can have'm fix my floor for cheaper if they like what they find?!' (Dwarve'n labor is typically more expensive then highering the crafting guild, but on rare occasions when they find an object of value on the work site they might except it as payment instead.)
The master walks out of the room.
{.............................}
In the darkness...
Where am I?
I know something is off but...
Sigh... I guess I better go look and see what's going on... Hopefully no more light is falling.
[closes the port for releasing the light and slowly lets the walls of darkness thin out enough to see?!]
Atleast it ain't rocky landscape. But... Yawn* I guess I'll rest until I have enough energy to move.
[goes to sleep while the light gathers once more]
