"Bring the first sacrifice."
At the elderly man's command, one of the cloaked figures stepped forward. They grabbed one of the individuals lying on the ground by their horn and dragged them towards the altar.
Meanwhile, the elderly man raised both his arms high and began chanting with a strange glint in his eyes.
"What was separated shall return all the same. Oh Lord! My Truth, I shall show my devotion to you with this humble offering! Please accept this sacrifice, for it has always been yours!"
The demon seemed to have just regained consciousness, much like Adrian, which was probably why she looked around in confusion as she was being dragged.
As the cloaked figure reached near the altar, they stopped some distance away and threw the demon forward. The elderly man also stepped back.
The demon's body rolled forward and stopped right in front of the altar.
But what happened after that sent chills down Adrian's spine.
