The renowned shadow...

Chapter 9: The Dark Revelation

Emma's vision revealed the cult's true purpose: to summon an ancient, otherworldly being known only as "The Devourer". This being was said to grant immense power and knowledge to those who summoned it, but at a terrible cost.

As Emma watched, she saw the cult members gathered around a large, stone pedestal. On top of the pedestal was a glowing, crystal orb that pulsed with an otherworldly energy.

Sarah stood at the center of the circle, the orb held aloft in her hands. "We call forth The Devourer!" she cried, her voice echoing through the twisted landscape.

The air seemed to ripple and distort, as if reality itself was bending to accommodate the presence of The Devourer. Emma felt a creeping sense of dread as she realized that she was about to witness something truly horrific.

The Master spoke, its voice like thunder. "The time of summoning is at hand. Prepare yourselves, mortals, for the arrival of The Devourer."

As the cult members began to chant and sway, Emma knew that she had to act fast. She was the only one who could stop the summoning, but she was trapped and helpless.
