Jeff awoke in pure darkness he can't see anything.
Jeff can only hear whispers in the back of his mind it sounds like people are surrounding him yet again. He remembered his dream of all his victims the guilt, the suffering that he had caused. Jeff wandered into the darkness moving blindly through this realm.
"Jeffery Woods, come here boy let me see your face," Jeff heard a deep, scraping voice in the distance he picked up the pace and ran searching for the man who had just spoke.
A faint light began glowing, Jeff could make out a chair with a figure wearing a dark cloak sat upon it like a king on his throne. After a few more seconds Jeff stood in front of this figure and stated, "Hello, you know me and I have a vague idea of who you are and I assume you know why I am here."
The figure only nodded and leaned forward inspecting Jeff, "Indeed I know why you are here, you need to prove yourself to me. Show me your determination, show me you want my power and show my you want your family back..." The figure commanded.
Jeff bowed on his knee showing compliance.
Bang!
A big flash of light engulfed them both, they appeared in a new location, A tomb of sorts with table in the centre with a dagger upon it...
"Jeff you first task to show devotion to me, take the dagger and carve this symbol into your chest" The Figure commanded Jeff and showed Jeff his palm with a circle with a cross through it carved in his palm.
Without hesitation Jeff picked up the dagger and pierced his chest, dragging the blade through his flesh, after every bit of progress behind the cut it instantly became a scar with only drops of blood occasionally dripping out.
After a few minutes his mark was complete and with that so was his first test.
