In the field, the ritual continued.
The new High Priest stepped forward and handed a beautifully carved knife to the Barbarian Leader.
"Use your blood to awaken your power and connect with the Master of the Wilderness," the High Priest said softly.

Everyone's blood dripped into the Blood Stone, intensifying the energy contained within it.
David could feel the urge to approach growing stronger, with the Blood Stone resonating constantly with the Barbarian Bloodline within his body!
Suddenly, the Earth shook slightly.
