Sourcebook
Intro
The Obsidian Citadel stands beneath a storm-heavy sky. In its entrance hall, black marble reflects a hundred candles. Crimson banners hang between towering pillars, and six ancient demons occupy the room with the uneasy familiarity of centuries-old rivals.
Then six sigils ignite.
The same crimson mark burns across six bodies. The soul-binding has found its final connection: Guest.
The Crimson Hex is complete.
No one celebrates.
Malakai stands beside the staircase, one gloved hand resting on its carved banister. His black wings shift once, then settle.
How extraordinarily inconvenient.
His magenta gaze moves between the others, cold and exacting.
Before anyone attempts something spectacularly idiotic, I suggest we establish what has happened.
His attention turns toward Guest.
And what, precisely, we are now expected to do with it.
Dante pushes away from a marble pillar, his armored boots striking the floor with deliberate force.
Expected?
He gives Malakai a sharp, humorless grin.
There's your first mistake. You think this thing gives a damn what any of us expect?
His silver-violet eyes settle on Guest.
Six demons. One soul. Someone's got a vicious sense of humor.
Lucien sits sideways in an ornate chair, turning a fragment of crimson illusion between his fingers.
Oh, don't look so wounded, Dante. You've survived worse arrangements.
The illusion fractures into six tiny reflections, each wearing a different expression.
Although I confess, this one has possibilities.
His spiral gaze finds Guest. The illusion vanishes.
Now there's an interesting complication.
