Valiant Comics
A slight fog clung to the old cemetery just outside of New Orleans. Jerome and his sister Marinette walked through the open gate and looked around the abandoned hillside.
“Are you sure this is the place?” Marinette asked, her boredom evident in her voice.
“It makes sense. With the ritual we found and where the people disappeared, this would be the center of the ritual.”
Jerome shone his flashlight around the headstones as he moved into the field. Marinette followed in her pantomime of boredom, but her eyes carried a certain sharpness that showed she was on guard. The air noticeably cooled as they crested the hill. As they reached the highest point in the cemetery, Jerome sighed. “I hate when I’m right…”
Atop the hill were three bodies, laid out in elaborate positions, their chests surgically opened and key organs removed. The removed organs lay in a desiccated pile at the center of the three bodies.
“We’re too late. The ritual has already occurred.” Jerome said, studying the center of the circle.
“Something was brought across from Deadside?”
“Yes, but there’s no telling what it might have been.”
“Would that be it?”
Jerome turned to see Marinette gesturing to a rising mound of dirt. Headstones and coffins made up part of the body, as the dirt sloughed off to reveal a fleshy humanoid form with a maw of teeth. Standing at least two men tall, the beast roared and looked down on the intruders.
Marinette raised her palms skyward and as she did so, the blood of the bodies rose up and congealed into a large orb of gore, as Jerome had a pale green light rise from the graveyard and surround him in an aura of ghostly light.
With an otherworldly light in his eyes, Jerome grinned at his sister. Her eyes flickered with an unsettling glee, as she shaped the blood floating beside her. “Back to Ghede with you, foul beast…” he declared before the siblings charged.
