((Spirit speech))
((Omega speech))


B- the two Senior Ritualists, (both KA and Omegan) will address the Gathering and explain what will occur.

**OI Senior Ritualist**
Some months ago a group of Lycan agitators took action against tha Blood Fountain in a coordinated and well-planned commando raid. With the use of a tactical sub-fissile backpack charge, apparently sourced from the British SAS. Their objective was ta cripple the Kindred population of Tox dependent on the Fountain for hunt-free feedin. What they achieved was an epic reprisal against the Lycan population. The Pack has only just recovered. Even non-Pack or unaffiliated Lycans needed to keep their tails out of the fire fer several weeks as a result. Me included. That’s why I’m here, fer tha Institute. Ta help make right what my Kin did. I speak as Praetor of tha Omegan Institute, heading this Ritual from our end.

**KA Senior Ritualist**
The local Kindred, cut off from their steady food supply turned to their age-old prey, the Living. Those with regular feeding partners were less affected, needing to guard their Kine more than usual, and pay attention to the predations of their own kind.

**OI Senior Ritualist**
The Hospital was raided, its stocks depleted. The Haven’s small supply was drunk dry. Even the Vet clinic was emptied. Tha citizens of Toxia had ta look ta each other even more with tha further strained trauma support of its medical faculties. They had ta watch their backs and necks as the Hunger started to take its toll on their Kindred neighbors.

**KA Senior Ritualist**
The Kindred Alliance Faction reeled under the attack to their sacred site, the magic feeding source they has guarded for so long. There were numerous investigations as to how to rebuild it. Eventually, their came to light an artifact that was truly required. The Bloodstone. The city was nearly unreturned in the search for it, rumors abounded as to where it was, who had it, who took it from them, and where it currently resides.




C- Some Ka Duelist Sentries with help of other KA members will circle the area of the rituals to make sure its secure and for no-one or nothing to interrupt. OiB agents may provide Close Personal Security for Lady Omega and the Bloodstone.



D –KA (Elder Scholar) Ritualists #1 and #2 start chanting from the Rituals Book to call the spirits of the ancient Vampire souls and Vlad soul to comes and witnesses the restoration saying:

**KA Ritualist #1** "In far lands of Death'
**KA Ritualist #2** "Our Forefathers lives"
**KA Ritualist #1** "In Dark Times and Night'
**KA Ritualist #2** "We call them upon us"
**KA Ritualist #1** "On Blood river we shall...once again swim"
**KA Ritualist #2** "So here we do plea...for home you shall come"
**KA Ritualist #1** " To Witness your Chylder.
**KA Ritualist #2** “ Their Victories... thy will be done"



E - Senior Ritualists call on Spirit and Omega, to offer and receive the Bloodstone and add it to the Fountain, hand-in-hand.

Bloodstone:
**OI Senior Ritualist**
This Ancient Kindred artifact, it’s an enchanted entity in and of itself, and when active, bleeds continuously from its surface. It may just look like a heart shaped lump of Aeolian sandstone but it is more. It has a life force, bestowed upon it by ancient Blood and Soul magics, and tha blood it exudes is of no particular race, or type. The blood exuded is filtered by the stone itself and is always free from contaminants at tha source.

**KA Senior Ritualist**
It is highly likely that the magics tied to it collect the blood through time and space from the stones on which blood offerings have been made since pre-history; the blood that soaked into Roman altars, down the steps of Aztec ziggurats, onto the sand of the Massai-mara. The seeping of blood from those offerings makes its way into the artifact now known simply as the Bloodstone, residing within Toxia.


F- The chant of accepting the sacrifice will begin with the Senior Ritualists taking turns to recite:


**OI Senior Ritualist** "We offer Thee precious Blood,
**OI Senior Ritualist** Shed for us through exceeding Love,

**KA Senior Ritualist** And with the pain of Life, freely given
**KA Senior Ritualist** From the wound of the supplicants right hand;

**OI Senior Ritualist** Through the merits and virtues of which,
**OI Senior Ritualist** We beseech Thy divine Majesty

**KA Senior Ritualist** To bestow on us Thy sacred benediction,
**KA Senior Ritualist** That by its efficacy"

**KA Senior Ritualist** We may be protected from deprivation,
**KA Senior Ritualist** And delivered from every hunger.

**OI Senior Ritualist** For this purpose we say:
**OI Senior Ritualist** Give us this boon, this Source.

**KA Senior Ritualist** Free us from the base urges
**KA Senior Ritualist** That we may Feed, and grow.

**OI Senior Ritualist** Be at peace in these troubled times.
**OI Senior Ritualist** And know that all are One.

the donors begin to donate their blood from a cut to the right (and pass out at the end of the Ritual, before being healed by the magics of the Ritual)


G- Forming circle of 4 Ritualist both KA and Omegans, each in turn reciting from a scroll they were provided with.

---------------------------------
**OI Ritualist #1**
-=The Sacred=-

The Ancients regarded blood sacrifice as the most powerful way to appease the gods. Bloodletting, the dance of Ch'ulel, is a sacred act.

Blood is holy; to give it to the gods is a grand act of piety, especially if that blood is your own.

The “People of the Book” tell the tale that Abel was obeying what was already an ancient tradition when he sacrificed the firstborn of his herds to his God.

Bulls were sacred to Egyptians more than 5,000 years ago, being associated with Taurus, a god with both animal and human features. For the Egyptians, then, the sacrifice of a bull was the gift of a demigod to the gods.

---------------------------------
Second Part
**KA Ritualist #1**
-=The Hungry Mind=-
Participants in blood sacrifice rituals experience a sense of awe, danger, or exaltation because they are daring to approach the gods who create, sustain, and take life.

Blood sacrifice at border crossings (often marked by rivers) and within buildings was thought to be prudent offerings. So it is this night. The Fountain marks the crossing,

-------------------------------------
Third part
**OI Ritualist #2**
-=The Ancient=-

The origins of blood sacrifice are lost in the mist of prehistory. Few now walk that remember the beginnings. Nevertheless, according to ancient rites of sacrifice, the sacrifice should be of high value. The gods would be offended by a sickly or inferior offering.

------------------------------
4th part
**KA Ritualist #2**
-=The Hidden=-

It is unknown where the blood of the Bloodstone that powers the fountain originates; it is of no specific race, not “type”. It simply is. It is a sacred gift to all the Kindred of Toxia. It has never been free from risk; it is a public space, albeit within the walls of the Kindred Alliance. It has been tainted, but it recovered, it has been desecrated, but it has not been restored. Until now.




**OI Senior Ritualist** With this blessing, it is Done. "Meishoo iyiook enkai inkishu o-nkera"
**KA Senior Ritualist** "May the Creator give us sustenance and vitae for all His Childer.


((cue Fountain to start working))

((Speech from Spirit))




The Blood Fruit
**OI Senior Ritualist**
Using seeds from Her First Garden, Her Ladyship Omega will offer ta plant fruiting trees around tha Blood Fountain. These will be enhanced and cared for by tha Kindred Alliance and in tha presence of the fountain, they will germinate and grow, quickened by the magic’s of the restoration, and nourished by the seeping blood of the Fountain, they will bear fruits nourishing to Kindred.

**KA Senior Ritualist**
