Chapter 6: Planning on summoning Mother Righteous
Change scene
Outside of the Limbo Embassy, Raven and his husbands arrive in a flash of light.
Miguel asks "Why are we out here?"
Raven replies, There's a magic shop down the street. While talking with Madelyne, I remembered what all I would need for the summoning. Some days with my age, I usually forget about what is needed for a summoning
"
Together the three take of walking down the street, they finally come across The Arcane Dagger.
They walls in and area greeted by a worker. Raven walks around the store, the owners have placed Runes on the shop so that it's bigger on the inside.
Raven smiles at the owner and walks along a wall. He grabs labradorite, hematite, tiger's eye and black tourmaline, Black Agate, and Sapphires.
Raven turns to Akihiro who had been walking behind him.
"Can you go and grab a shopping basket?"
Akihiro does and Raven places his stones in the basket.
Raven chuckles as he sees that Miguel was looking through the books.
Raven comes across the Herb section. He picks out Lavender, Garden Sage, Chamomile, Rose, Rosemary, Mint Peppermint, Bay Leaves, St. John's Wort, Nettle, Comfrey, Mugwort, wormwood, thyme, neem, Angelica, tulsi AKA Holy Basil, Cedar, vervain, Sandalwood, frankincense, myrrh, garlic, Rue, and Black Cohosh.
Miguel has a couple of books, while Akihiro comes back with an arm load of candles.
Raven laughs at all the candles. But he saw that Akihiro had some white, indigo, black and dark purple candles in the mix.
Together they walk over to the register and check out their items via the kind Crone Cato.
They all begin to walk out, and the Crone says, "Thank you, Baron."
Raven turns back to her and nods. They all leave and as they are walking, Miguel asks, "why did she call you Baron?"
Raven smiles, "At one point, I was known as Baron Samedi, Baron La Croix and Baron Cimetière. Each Baron is still a deity and as such fall under my domains. And years ago, I walked around under their names. Plus beings like The Crone can see the truth."
Miguel and Akihiro both go huh as they walk alongside Raven while carrying his bags.
Raven places both hands on a shoulder and with a blink, they all teleport away.
Scene change
Back at the manor, Jon had been slowly getting to know Raven's kids. Even though they are fully grown, they are a delight to be around. They were teaching Jon different kinds of magic and teaching him different ways to use his powers.
After about an hour there was a blink of light and Raven, Akihiro and Miguel have teleported in. Miguel and Akihiro are carrying bags, while Raven was holding their shoulders.
Raven sees, Jon and his children talking. Raven asks, "Any word from Nate?"
Jon replies, "The last message he sent me was that he had taken out the mutant liberation front and with help from the Avengers Unity Division they are cleaning up the DC area "
Raven hummmms, he then says, "Follow me down to the ritual room."
Jon, Akihiro, Miguel, Adam and Morgana start to follow Raven as he leaves his office. They pass many mutants on the way to the closest elevator.
Entering the elevator, Raven presses SB1 after making sure that everyone was in the elevator. SB1 stands for Sub-basement one. And it's the place that Raven does the heavy magicks.
Soon the doors of the elevator opens revealing a rocky room with an altar made of Amethyst. Raven walks towards the altar with the candles when he freezes in places.
He screams in pain and fury. His scream is echoed by Nate. They have just sensed their mother's death yet again.
