Leo surveyed the newly transformed Rossi and Rodriguez, the leader of the order, with a chilling satisfaction etched across his masked visage. They knelt before him, their heads bowed in submission to their newfound demonic master.

Its surface was adorned with intricate carvings that seemed to pulse with an otherworldly energy, telling the tale of forgotten rituals and arcane ceremonies.
