Zovak: *sleep talks* who’s shadow... is that a steak... I want it....

HellByrd: “If you say so— wait Shadow?”

Malo: *Meanwhile the Sloth beast was continuing to enjoy the effects of the spell, it's eyes completely closed now and making content grumbling noises in its throat as it seemed to fall back asleep, even though it was still blocking the door*

Shard: Shadow is.. well it's little complicated. I guess you could he's my familiar as well as my guardian. He's not a threat if that’s what has you worried.

HellByrd: “In my line of work I learn not to ask too many questions lest something become a threat so I’ll take your word for it.”

Shard: Okay. *the group reaches the dais steps and the woman goes up them to the altar* Put your friend down here. *pats the top of the altar*

*On the top of the altar there is an inlay made of a white material that forms a six-pointed star surrounded by a circle. Old dark mystery stains also mar the altar’s surface giving it a somewhat sinister feel.* (if anyone asks, the old dark mystery stains are from demon blood)

HellByrd: *I notice the stains but didn’t question it as I put Void down.*

Shard: Also do you have a knife or something sharp? I could you use your help with this part.

*Lifts her arm and begins to unwrap several long strips of black cloth from it. Underneath the cloth there are several long thin scars crisscrossing the underside of her forearm.*

HellByrd: “He has knives, hold on.” *I retrieved one of Void's knives from him and handed it over*

Shard: *Takes the knife and sets it aside for the moment.* Do you know where he is hurt?

HellByrd: “From what I can tell, ribs. He got knocked back pretty hard.”

Zovak: *foot twitches*

Shard: I see. *lifts Void's shirt up and starts to gently prod his ribs to see which ones are broken*

Void: *twitches unconsciously*

Zovak: *with a loud groan Zov gets up to his feet*

Shard: *Finding which ribs are broken she picks up the knife.* You may want hold your friend down for this part, I don't want to cut him too deeply by accident.

Zovak: *still asleep he senses a wrath in trouble and stumbles to the altar pushing Hell and Shard out the way*

HellByrd: “Hey what—“

Zovak: *Zov places his head near Void’s body listening to his breathing still asleep he finds the problem. Zov raises a hand high into the air extending all claws.*

Shard: *cuts herself with the knife by accident as she falls.* Ow! *looks at her blood* Well I needed to do that for the spell anyways.

HellByrd: *I’m suspiciously watching but I wanna see where this goes.*

Malo: *The Sloth beast remained in a blissed-out sleep.*

Shard: *Looks up at Zov and waves her bloody arm at him* Wound for wound, dude. That's how blood magic works. At least when it comes to doing major healing. *stand back up* Now are you going to let me help your friend or not? I need some his blood too if I'm going to heal him.

Zovak: *Zov isn’t ignoring just asleep while Shard yells at Zov he quickly makes a cut just below the rib cage of Void. Then zov reaches deep into the would he just made with other hand*
