Sky Master Crowley of the Sacred Pillars (#7160)

Owner: 0xECbF…FC30

An Offering...

Crowley jumped when the sun cat appeared in the window. She flicked her tail and purred, but all that he saw was the dead crow in her jaw.

It actually worked.

He cleared a space on the altar cloth and placed the dead bird between the two candles. He rolled up his sleeves. Did he dare to seek forbidden knowledge? To touch death?

The crow’s black beak hung open. Mocking him.

The sun cat gave her tail a suspicious wag.

“Well, here it goes.”

He grasped the black bird by its feathered neck and twisted hard until the head came off in his hands. The blood coating his fingers was still warm. The sun cat nuzzled against his leg and purred.

He assembled the head on the altar plate, marked it with the rune of Cinnabar, and shook the gnome’s tooth over the offering three times. He fell into a pensive silence.

A breeze pushed through the windows and extinguished the burning candles in a curl of smoke. Darkness fell over the room, and the sun cat reared and hissed.

He stared at the crow’s head gleaming in the moonlight, now ten times its former size. “Sacred Pillars,” he said, “what have I done?”

He trembled as he picked up the head and placed it over his own. The secrets of the Runiverse shone to him through new eyes.
