[Cthulhu Mythos + Ensemble Cast + Mystery] A summoning ritual brings a being from another dimension into the city of Bristol. Its whispers drive people insane and blur the line between reality and illusion. They watch its arrival in despair. Before it, humankind is no more than a speck of dust, infinitesimal and insignificant. Will Crosse raises his gun like a marionette and points it at his temple, ready to pull the trigger. Dr. Connor writhes in agony on the ground. He covers his ears and shuts his eyes, trying to stop himself from walking toward death, but he cannot control the hand reaching for his own throat. His breath is slowly being stolen away.
Professor Max Rank’s eyes are already streaming with blood. The whispers at his ear steadily shatter his sanity, but he endures the pain and struggles to open the forbidden book. He knows what terrible consequences this will bring, but there is no other way to stop the being from arriving. He can only summon an entity more powerful than it.
“O true god who saves all things and brings hope, if you truly exist, please hear my voice. I, the lowliest of beings, offer my filthy soul in exchange for your brief descent, so that you may save my world.
I pray to you, merciful one. May your miracle descend upon this place.”
A rift appears in the distant sky, as if space itself has been drained away. The presence within the fissure makes the being abruptly stop its nauseating whispers and let out a shrill cry of fear and terror. Without hesitation, it withdraws its body and tries to flee. Before it can disappear completely, countless gray strands of mist shoot from the fissure and bind the body trying to escape.
