You must continue with the corruption of the hoop, but first you have several gifts to give your followers. The spirit is thrown into the forge, and careful application of magic is used to keep it alive as a statue of you is forged around it. It goes well enough, and in fact will grant a minor fertility boon to those around it. Appropriate, as Damena and Azen prepare a ritual, dancing around the statue and shouting praises to you, as hammers fall, no longer on statues on you but on cruel weapons.
You focus the magical energy of their ritual and spread it across the Shade Bastion, filling your followers and servants with a lustful ecstasy. They begin to couple, and a little more, in all sorts of combinations, their moans and cries and roars filling the air. As the energy from this wild debauch fills you, you channel it outwards into the grass outside.
Two captive slaves are bound to stretches of the grass, and their bodies warp and shift as your magic fills the air, merging them with the grass, making it bright red, letting out low moans of pain as the breeze drifts through it. The stalks swell, growing taller, their tops thickening and warping to look like staring, maddened eyes.
Though weakened, the screams of pain and lust invigorate you, and you decide to begin hunting for spirits, carefully circling about the bastion, looking for something to hunt. You find a small group of rockcrushers, and you can feel their minds are protected. The spirit must be nearby. It is the work of a few minutes to find it, and it takes nothing to kill it. You barely manage to salvage the heart though – the amount of power you put into the grass is draining you, although you manage to recoup some of it. Still, it is not wise to risk yourself unnecessarily right now. You return to the Bastion, where the debauchery is beginning to end, and the first scythes are being forged. As you recline on your throne again, you notice a great many woman and animals are pregnant.
Current form: A mighty man with the head of a bison and vicious, bloody claws. Sitting on your throne once more.
