Chapter 1: New Blood
Phoenix, Arizona
Church of Blood
Darkness covered the night sky as the storm grew. The air was eerie as thick fog swept across the ground. There were many mysterious sounds coming from every direction. The ground shook as lightning struck and thunder clapped. The graveyard in the distance made the abandoned church even more ominous. There were faintly heard sounds of birds flapping in the distance. A single raven perched carefully on the rooftop of the church as if it were a sign.
Inside the church were rows upon rows of pews aligned with bibles. An altar stood in the middle of the church adorned in candles. Pillars stood tall at four corners of the church. Empty corners veiled in shadows loomed over the room as if death was waiting impatiently. The creaks in the floorboards echoed throughout the empty church. Then coming from nowhere a door appeared leading to a secret passageway. Beyond that door was a hidden room with a spiral of stairs that seemed to go down forever.
Torches clinged to the walls that surrounded the staircase. At the bottom of the stairs a room revealed itself with a pool of dark red blood. Scrawled along the walls and pillars were foreign symbols meant to worship the devil. Cloaked figures knelt down around the pool as they whispered an incantation.
One of the cloaked figures stood up, walked toward the pool and held a knife in one hand. They used the sacred knife to slice their other hand. They whispered an incantation, "Blood oh blood. Brother be praised, arise". Just as they spoke a young man emerged from the depths of blood. The blood washed away as the young man arose out of the pool.
The young man wore a helmet made of an animal skeleton. He had pasty white skin and blinding white hair. He had a long brown cloak that covered most of his body and a black covered vest wrapped securely around his chest. He wore blue gloves that rode up to his shoulders with black and gold arm cuffs. He wore a wide belt that covered most of his waist and knee high boots.
His name was Brother Blood the II not to be confused with the original Brother Blood who the Titans have fought before. As he stood before the pool of blood he could smell the death and destruction of those who died bringing him back. He grinned as he could hear the screams of the souls of those who had crossed him in the church.
"Come to me." He called.
Brother Blood called out to one of the other cloaked figures. As they stood up and came forward, Brother Blood the II lifted their hood. It was a aged women with brunette hair and peircing hazel eyes. Brother Blood took the hands of the woman and seeming to peer into her soul said:
"You'll be my new mother."
"Y-Yes Brother Blood," said the woman as she trembled underneath his cold stare. The woman could feel the cold grip of his hands as it traveled throughout her body. Barely a minute passed when he unclasped his hands from hers breaking his chilling stare and dropped them to her side.
As Brother Blood turned from his 'mother', he knew the time had come to address the rest of his followers. "For I am Brother Blood," he said triumphantly, "I will bring back our savior Trigon just in time." After he spoke his followers knelt around Sebastian chanting in unison:
"All Hail Brother Blood."
