The plan?
Seduce Anna. Done. Get her vulnerable. Done. Get her to drink the elixir to release her soul. He poured the mixture down her throat. He left her sleep to prepare the ritual circle with the remaining powder. A new circle on the edge of the cliff made it easier to cast the spell. He began the chant.
"dona mihi animam meam de deam luna"
He proceeded to chant this until the powder glowed.
This time the moon wasn't paying attention and started to fall. It was all a plot to get her distracted. She couldn't hold on to her ledge in the sky much longer. Her hands slipped. She started her descent to the cliff. She fought it once, she'll fight it again.
Timothees plan worked. It was time to sacrifice Joan's body for the moon. He made 2 slices into her chest, one right under the collar bone, another under the ribs. A clean entrance and exit for each soul.
A pain came upon Joan as she awoke. It grew throughout her chest and she was paralyzed. Her mouth tasted like tea, cabbage and bean crackers.
The memories came flooding back. It all made sense in crazy terms, but her head was pretty messed up at the moment.
He was going to use her as a vessel for a powerful being. The moon. She could hear a voice in the back of her mind telling her what to do. Stay where she is, pretending she's asleep. She told Joan that her soul could stay, but would be split with her own. That way neither would die and half the moon could stay above.
Joan sat straight up, the moon went back into place, but was dimmed because of her sudden loss of power. The tides slowed down, not quite as powerful. Timothee turned to her.
Are you ready? The voice inside said
Yes, I'll follow your lead. She replied.
Joan stood up. She brushed the blood and torn grass off of her chest, the voice inside healing the wounds with a blue glow.
" You've finally caught me, mortal." She said with disgust in her tone.
" You have caught me, The Luna Emundari"
The Voice replaced Joan's, and She walked towards Timothee.
She brushes her fingertips over his sternum, looking deep into his eyes. His eyes glimmer green with anticipation. Her eyes flash from a blue to a steely gray.
" Tell me why you've summoned me, Mortal."
" Now don't be asking for a lot yet, Darling. I have a lot to do to you before I answer questions."
He looks her up and down.
" A lot to do..."
