One by one, the deities approached the chalice, each one drawing forth a drop of their blood and allowing it to fall into the vessel.
The dark lord's blood was an inky black, swirling with shadows. Ignara's blood was a fiery red, crackling with energy. Oceana's blood was a shimmering blue, fluid and radiant.
Other deities that embodied aspects like space, time, matter and many others, also drew a drop of blood as well.
When it was the humanoid deity's turn, he stepped forward with a calm determination. Instead of his own blood, he discreetly put a drop of Slarkov blood in with chalice, causing the mortal blood to mingle with that of the deities.
Finally, the Overseer approached, their form radiating divine authority. They allowed a drop of their own blood to fall into the chalice, completing the ritual.
