Blood Ritual

Aureus strode toward the Boneyard with Kali at his side and Griff soaring through the air above him. He was feeling good today. It was one of those nice autumn days where the temperature was chill at first but would be perfect by the time he was in the middle of a fight. With his mind focused on moving up a rank in Risen to that of a Lieutenant like his mentor, Apollo, Aureus sought to train vigorously. He was going to make his family proud. So far he'd had a good track record. If he kept pushing he felt he could make the rank by the end of winter. That was the goal anyway. Rolling his shoulders lightly back and forth to limber up Aureus howled to the sky to call for an opponent. He was ready.
