Around it there were several of these acolytes, their words were incoherent for a regular person to understand but they were certainly chanting soe’s square continued to give out strange waves of energy along with bizarre sy on its surface

They were all kneeling with their faces down, slaround Even if there were rocks they didn’t care for, they continued to chant and bohile their blood flowed into the soil While they earing long robes the bony fingers beneath the out orders had a slightly different robe along with a large ornate staff that looked like a deforelohenever he shouted out his orders The people that were listening to hio towards their new visitors

“GAHHHH!”

Without a warning the man’s hand was electrocuted, his body went instantly limp and he dropped down to his knees The others around him were quick to back ahile in horror In their minds this was an unforeseen development, could this person still be conscious?
