Darkest Night (0.6.2 b) (Sal)
Michael picked up Sal and ran at half speed zipping through the city to drop him down in an alley close by the shelter where nobody could see them. They had a few minutes before Point Break got there, so Michael began some preparations for the possible battle ahead. Excalibur was unsheathed and held point down on the ground as the priest kneeled. A silver dirk was pulled from his belt and held as a crossbar to the sword forming a cross in front of his bowed head.
The Fate mage began speaking in Tongues Sal had never heard before and began to radiate with magic. His aura projected wings of light on his back and a halo above his head while the smell of smoke from a forge filled the air. His muscles bulged underneath spectral full plate armor. Transparent sigils glowed along Excalibur’s length while the symbol of a cross glowed on Michael’s forehead and heart. The priest rose and sheathed the blades. Determination in his eyes, he turned to Sal. “I am ready and have sworn an oath before God that I shall defeat Reginald at all costs.”The stress of the whole ordeal did put a strain on his body as he absorbed some of the paradox that tried to form.
Sal could feel that his vision was enhanced somehow and could see Michael’s aura despite it having faded once the ritual had finished. “I have blessed you with the same vision as myself to be able to see what blood marks Reginald may have placed on surfaces and individuals. People’s auras will now also be visible to you. Once Point Break gets here, I’ll move to the roof of a nearby building watching the back where the van is. If you run into trouble and need my assistance just whistle.”
