The crimson moon rose high above the misty landscape. The fog covered the forest creating a nightmarish view of the world. The hooded figure strode silently through the woods. It wasn't bothered by the howling of the wolves which would be able to remain hidden in the mist until it was too late. Nor did it flinch when the bats shrieked from above it.

It had only one purpose on this night and fully intended to carry it out. It soon came to a clearing. It turned its head to the sky gazing at the moon which now seemed to hover directly above it.

Slowly it raised its hands and parted the fog to reveal a large stone circle, in the center stood an alter, the object had clearly been abandoned long ago, vines had begun to grow around the structure as leaves seemed to sprout from every direction.

It ran a shadowy, clawed hand across the alter, tapping it with long fingernails.

"The time has come. Soon, everything that is important to them will be gone,a sacrifice will be made, the payment is long overdue."It growled. The slender hand reached into the cloak and produced a jagged blade with a wooden handle.

An incision was made in its left palm and the hand raised in offering to the sky. A beam of red shot down over the wound. The figure cackled as the cut sealed instantly.

"Now, come to me, counsel of the blood moon,come and hear my plea!" It cried.

The ground began to shake violently as jets of light shot up from the ground. The figure took a step back and soon found itself surrounded by six others. Their long,slender fingers stretched to the moon.

"Why have you awakened us?" A deep voice asked from the shadows.

"I've heard of your power,that you can do a great many things and I seek your help with my vengeance."The figure replied.

"Vengeance comes with a high price. What could you possibly give to us?"

"A rare soul, it's kept out of reach and quite unknown to many. Even its owner believes it 's previous resistance was a young boy. I will also offer to you the lives of no less than eight demonlings in exchange for which I ask that you help me to destroy the devil.

A/N: Hello everyone, thank you for reading my new Michaelis family tale. I really hope you like it. No flames will be tolerated, your certainly entitled to not like it but I will not be taking anymore abuse, nor should any writer. These authors on this site don't deserve to have people who have nothing better to do with themselves write such degrading comments on the stories they work so hard to create. The decision to share their work is NOT easy. They don't need to be brought down by ridiculously insulting comments from the guests who won't even use a username to make such disgusting comments because they don't want to be reported.

Authors as well as readers deserve respect. You may not like the story,and you're certainly welcome to your opinion but if you just want to drop your f bombs and swear at them, don't read and keep your nasty comments to yourself.

To those of you that are respectful with your opinions, I apologize for this long note.
