The Ring Dimitar placed on the "bowl" of cursed metal lifted in the air, flew out through the opening on the top and began floating over the opening. The skull on the ring opened it's mouth and from it, a spirit of a man pretty much like Dimitar, but completely hairless rose out... A spirit Martin knew very, very well.
"
Dad..." he barely whispered.
The spirit looked around "
Finally... Finally... I'm free!" then he saw Martin "
Why did you brought him here, Dimitar? You know full well that I never wanted him to see me like that!"
"
He needs to know!" Dimitar said "
He deserves to know. I can't simply keep him in the dark. I can't simply keep the secret to myself... not from him."
The spirit sighed "
Fine, carry on!"
Dimitar nodded and continuing the chant. This time, he lifted up the hand he held his ring on and the ring got out on it's own, mimicking the other one, but this time, only a small sphere came out and floated to Dimitar, entering his chest. The man simply shivered and continued the chant. The spirit of Martin's former dad joined the chorus.
At what seemed to be the end of the chanting, the altar's golden/silver bowl trembled and tore itself out of the altar, braking it's upper part. The bowl went through the ring, consuming them and turning into a metallic sphere of gold and silver.
"
That wasn't supposed to happen!" Dimitar shouted.
An evil looking maw opened from Dimitar's side and spoke with a voice that could make one's blood to freeze.
[
"Foolish human!"] it said [
"How dare you to steal these souls from me? They're mine!"]
"They are not yours, evil creature!" Dimitar shouted
"Remove yourself from this place of purity!"
[
"Silence puny mortal!"] the sphere formed up into a grotesque bug-like figure that looked like a mantis, except it was standing on two legs and and two... hands. [
"I am Manneck'vos the Soul Devourer, pathetic morsel! I shall devour all of you today!"] the monster said, forming a sphere of Dark energy and threw it at Dimitar.
The man jumped back, making a somersault in mid air and when he landed, he simply slashed the sphere with an arc of white-blue energy. after the sphere was dispersed, an
energy blade was visible on Dimitar's hand.
