This is continued from The Plan
Sacramento is a city washed in the blood of its leaders. All for the mad unknowable design of those who wished for nothing at all. Jack O. Falley's was found in Curator Primoria's office, his body desecrated. Mike Tamwood's body was also desecrated to look like a perverted version of the Martyr of Saint Sebastian. Rosh's body also wracked with the insidious fecund power of the Void. Destruction felt on both sides and enough for even the Seers of the Throne to reach out to the Diamond under the guise of a shared hatred towards the Accursed.
These names mean little to the motley of Magi who are following the trail of blood to its conclusion. One name, however, holds some sway: Triquetra. Guardian, Thyrsus, a member of the Sodality; her inner goddess was ripped down from the heavens in a spray of blood perpetrated by a shard of black tass. Her soul ripped out and held hostage, even now, along with the others.
It is late at night (2:30 am) by the time the Magi have prepped themselves and rolled out, Animus leads the charge and sniffs out his lover's soul to a darkly quiet neighborhood in South-Eastern Sacramento. The Magi who see the world through the shard of pure creation can see the Dragon Line warp and twist in place as it shows its corruption the closer they get to a lonely area of vineyard country.
A private drive is overgrown with bony branches reaching towards their cars, long black shadows, and the palpable feeling of desecration lingers just outside of the senses. The trees break and quarter mile from the break in the trees is a ranch house that has seen better days. The house's peeling paint, half fallen shutters, and general slouch visualize the depression the Land certainly feels. It barely holds itself up. The house itself, a victim of the financial crisis of a decade ago and taken up residence by the Cult of the Black Mirror.
