I saw one tonight—front-row seat. If you can call hiding behind a half-collapsed pillar “seating” and or “front-row.” But I did see one… one of the transformation rituals from start to finish. It was… a lot. But I think I’ve got a better idea of how Luci is breaking the rules of the Universe. It’s not… well—it’s probably not “good” news in the strictest sense of the word. But! It does at least tie into some other comfort food we were already enjoying. So… yay? Less work? Sorta? Maybe?
In any case… The center stage held their latest victim—er, volunteer, er, maybe a true believer. A middle-aged woman. Around her, acolytes formed a circle, chanting in a language that sounded like… nothing I recognized. Spanish? Probably not. Uh… Demon? Maybe? Or… no… I know enough Demon to know that wasn’t it. It sounds like “KCH-CH-CH-KSCH-KA-SCHWA-SCHWA-KCH…” does that… do anything for anyone?? Anyway—then out came the shards. The static shards. Just like the one back at the Cafe.
When the ritual officially started, the shards started to unravel. Not physically—no cracking or shattering, but their inner lights flickered and faded as if being drained. The lady stood there, arms outstretched, as the shard’s static poured into her body through her veins. It wasn’t immediate, and clearly, I only caught the very end of their last transformation because it took minutes for this lady to start twitching and contorting out of the bounds of reality. She did eventually, though, just like the last guy, though it was less dramatic. Like the last guy, she also died, or, as Lucifer proclaimed, “ascended.”
Here’s the kicker, though: the shards were also dead after. Empty. Cold. Like wrung-out rags. That’s when it hit me—this isn’t transformation magic. It’s extraction. Whatever these Snow shards are—whatever he’s made of—the cult is mining his essence, one shard at a time. And the shards? They’re finite. They’ve gotta be. Every ritual burns through their power, leaving behind nothing but hollow fragments. If Snow is the source, he HAS to feel this, right? Either Snow is helping Lucifer turn humans into shimmering nightmares, or Lucifer is somehow stealing these shards from Snow to do it.
