'Bestiary Entry #1531
Name: Infernal Baron
Classification: Demon/Darkling
Average Life Span: Unknown
One of the denizens of the infernal planes. Little is known about demonic society or their hierarchical systems, but Barons are believed to be somewhere in the upper castes, ruling over lesser darklings but below the highest of demonic entities. Infernal Barons are humanoid in silhouette, possessing a goat-like lower body with furred legs and cloven hooves. Their muscular upper bodies however are covered in hard red skin, with two black horns jutting from their head.
Like most darklings, Infernal Barons are savagely hostile to all mortal beings. Only certain occult sects can summon these creatures to do their bidding, and they keep their knowledge and rituals as tightly guarded secrets.'
...
"Are you excited, Orina? You've waited so long for this day... You'll finally be part of the coven for real!" Rinel whispered, catching up to the girl's side with a smile on her face.
Orina chewed on her lip, nodding quickly. "O-of course, it's an honor. How couldn't I be?" she said.
The two young witches spoke in hushed whispers as she and the rest of the coven were led down a dark stone hallway. Torches came alight with pale red fire whenever the head of their coven, known only as Mother, stepped past them. Tall shadows cast against the walls and followed every step that echoed deeper into the structure.
At the very heart of this long-abandoned temple was where the ritual would take place.
Orina had faithfully served the coven for months now. Branded a heretic by her home village and exiled into the outer wilds, she surely would've died if not for one of the witches finding and taking her in as one of their own. And so, she forsook the false goddess that her former "family" worshiped. She had done nothing for Orina in her time of need -- but the darkness reached out and saved her.
However, she hadn't earned the title of witch just yet. Every young woman here earned the privilege in a sacred ritual, where they would present themselves to the infernal planes as a vessel.
Whatever that meant, anyway. The details of what this ritual would entail were kept secret from new initiates. It was a test of faith, to make sure she would devote herself to the coven even in the face of uncertainty.
That part worried her. Orina was endlessly grateful to the coven and already vowed to join their ranks, but even she couldn't help being nervous. "I just... Wish I knew what exactly was going to happen..."
Rinel playfully rolled her eyes. "You know the rules, Ori. None of us can speak of it to the new initiate. But... I can tell you this at least. We all did it, and we're all still standing, aren't we? You might be scared at first but... I know you'll come to love it. We all do."
"Hush. We're nearly there." Mother glanced back at them. Her dark violet robes rustled around her, and like all of the witches, she wore a traditionally long, pointed hat that signaled her rank -- a hat that Orina would be earning once she was truly in the coven. Unlike the younger women she watched over, Mother wore an opaque black veil that hid her eyes. Nobody had ever seen her without it.
"Y-yes, sorry Mother!" Orina stammered and glared at her friend, who only offered an apologetic smile in return.
Eventually, the seemingly endless stone corridor led into a massive, cavernous chamber. A grand slab of black marble jutted out of the floor in the middle, and a five-pointed star was etched into the stone. At the end of the chamber opposite the entryway was an altar, and to the left and right of the marble slab were sets of pews. There was little in the way of decoration. It looked like nobody had stepped foot in here for years.
Footsteps echoed around the chamber as a dozen or so witches stepped inside. Some of the higher-ranking girls began setting up torches around the center slab while the others took their seats at the pews. Mother took her rightful place at the altar, setting down a large, heavy tome and flipping open its pages.
Orina was left standing alone in the center. She suddenly felt so small underneath the eyes of her sisters, made to be the sole center of attention. Even Mother's piercing gaze could be felt through her veil.
"Orina Weaver," Mother began. Her deep, imposing voice cut through the eerie quiet like a knife, commanding respect and attention. "When we found you, you were cast out of your home. Branded an unbeliever. Left to scavenge and die in the wilds. It was only through the grace of the infernal powers that we came upon you. Since then, you've served our coven dutifully. You've devoted yourself to our teachings. However, you do not hold the title of witch... Until now."
Orina's hands balled up into fists as Mother's words reverberated all across the chamber. She remembered seeing pure hatred in the villagers' eyes, including her own mother and father as they cast her out. Perhaps one day, when she grew into a powerful witch like her new sisters... She would have her revenge. She would take their hatred and return it a thousandfold.
"We come to this sacred temple to witness rebirth. Orina, if you wish to truly join our ranks, you will shed yourself completely of your past life and devote yourself to the infernal powers. This is your final chance to turn back. Are you ready to give yourself -- in mind, body, and spirit -- to the dark arts?"
Orina took a deep breath. Was she scared? Absolutely. But in her heart, she knew that destiny had brought her here. This was where she truly belonged, committing herself to a cause she truly believed in alongside her sisters. No matter the cost, she wanted this. "Yes, Mother. I'm ready to give myself to the infernal powers, and I devote myself to darkness. Whatever it asks of me, I will provide," she said firmly.
A rare smile tugged on Mother's lips. "Very well. For this ritual to succeed, there must be nothing separating you from the Infernal Plane. You will present yourself in only your bare flesh. Remove your robes."
