But that wasn’t how the conversation started this evening, April 7th.
Me: “It’s been a while.”
Legion: “Of course it has. I haven’t called you.”
M: “I didn’t close your portal.”
L: “Of course you didn’t. Don’t bore me with idiotic conversations.”
M: “Isn’t that way you came? You’ve been using Colossal to at my workplace to stir things up.”
L: “That IS my job. You must have forgotten.”
(Note – my work with Colossal is already done according to Legion. But with a lot of these shadow entities just because the work is ‘done’ doesn’t mean it’s over. )
M: “Why have you come? I’ve sent feelers out and was told to wait. Why now? Where’s the ‘master plan’ I’m expecting?”
L: “I need your help.”
(The portal in Hawaii came to mind. It’s been closed in dormant for about 3 years)
M: “I may not have access to that location.”
L: “You don’t need it. (He was getting annoyed).””L: “You don’t need it. (He was getting annoyed).”
M: “What do I get out of this?”
L: “I will deliver some of your enemies to you in torment.”
(He knows I’m not likely to do this. It isn’t worth my time with the ‘enemies’ he showed me.”)
M: “No children harmed.”
L: “Define harm. Most of your enemies have children that will be affected to vary but smaller degrees.”
(I said nothing)
L: “They will have no lasting scars.”
(He indicated this was both physical and emotional. The physical harm wouldn’t have been on the table, but he emphasized it all the same)
M: “That’s a good start.”
L: “Fuck you.”
M: “Fine. When do you want it opened?”
L: “It can wait until you’re there in Hawaii). I will start delivering some before then in good faith.”
(I nodded)
L: “Oh and call the Dark Mother. She’s missed you just like your own.”
(He laughed darkly as he left)
My mother is a perpetual victim there wasn’t above abusing her own children for sympathy. She’d be a candidate for people who should have had no children. A Dark Mother indeed.
As I went to feed the Corrupted Stone in my portal to Legion reopened in the offering was being consumed. I noticed a being inside my stone. Small, dark, surrounded by dark energy in that space. I’ve not seen this happen before when it wasn’t an entity I didn’t stick in it.
The Shadow Kid is in my Corrupted Stone. Upon recognition, he waved and walked back into darkness.
I read the invocation, cut the Veil, and read the greeting to the shadows. After this I read the invocation for the Dark Mother.
DM: “Can’t you even get the chant right? You stumbled and stuttered everywhere. Is that all that I am to you? Something to disrespect in half-ass your way through? How am I supposed to feel about that? After all I’ve done for you? All I sacrificed for you?
(The ‘baby’ she holding began to cry. She turned to leave.”
M: “No. You will agree to the same conditions as the others.”
DM: “What? Well, —“
M: “No. You will.”
DM: “I will.”
M: “Now go.”
One of the interesting things here was that she wasn’t just trying to act and speak like my own mother but she was also making references to our past encounters- with my first work through of the Shadownomicon. It was a pretty hard go around last time.
Since I don’t know what the time span are for working with the spirits this time, because there is no time limit set, I’m kind of expecting her to either come through people at work, maybe here at home to a lesser degree, but in all of these cases I think it’s going to be more side attacks than anything direct. Guess we’ll see.
