In the Temple of the Fanged God, a dark ritual was about to take place. The Cult of the Night Mother, an offshoot of the Witches of Dathomir, were gathered and knelt around the altar of their temple. At the head of them was their priestess, the only one standing, her arms spread wide before the altar. Green energy sizzled between them. It seemed to lift from the six sisters around her and focus itself around her two outstretched hands. And when she spoke, it was in the black speech of Dathomir: her voice darkened and boomed unnaturally in the altar-room.
"Mother, cast your light upon us," she said in a voice that was not entirely her own. Her sisters replied, but their chants were unknowable, spoken in a language older than the Holy City itself. "Show us the truth. Return from the Spirit World in all your splendor and guide us through the darkness that has fallen over the galaxy."
The energy in her hands was warm and crackled like emerald lightning. The Force was beginning to shift around them, darkening just over the altar. Slowly, the entire chamber was beginning to become deathly cold, as if all of its warmth was being sucked towards the altar. When the energy in her hands reached the peak of its heat, the priestess raised her hands towards the altar.
Then, she repeated the words she had only just spoken and, as she did, green lightning lanced out from her finger tips to the coldest spot on the altar. The resulting explosion bathed the chamber in unholy light and, from the vortex the explosion created, a Nightsister Mother emerged. But her reappearance was not without cost. The cultists gathered beneath her soon began to wither like mummies, the priestess who led them last of all, until they were little more than dried corpses on the ground.
Reborn Sycorax wiped the corners of her ancient lips as though she had just finished a meal. "Thank you, sisters," she said in her horrible way. "Rejoice that you have added your light to my own." @Deviant
