Jack's study of the pages had revealed little to nothing about their origins as far as anything went. For all he could tell the pages were just regular paper. Regular blank paper. But then again if he had the eyes of the man behind the door again, then he would be able to see the mad ritings about the sparrow and the blood magic rituals. The writings had been rather. Poor to say the least. As if they had been scribbled down by some mad lunatic. Which was entirely possible. One oculd enver understand the constant shifting mind of madness. Yet in their own way from what he could remember of the. Reading them rather transfixed. The words had been strangely. Right. There was a sense to him that was absolute nonsense. If that in itself made any sort of-. His head was begining to hurt. For now he was sitting down his rest before returning to the temple of obstinancy. His next goal would be the obtaining of that prosthetic augmentation crafted by a blood mage. Thats if his reports from Barathrum Regnum came back in any good time. Or came back and reported anything at all. He sat there, the pages in his hands. And began to wonder.

"....Just where is she...".

It had been several weeks since he had seen his little bird. Sera had not returned to him. And it was something that he had much feared of. Likely she had merely been indulging him like Iskra had until he had let down his guard for a moment and then. Stabbed him in the back. Jack still stung at those acts commited by Iskra. But there was always a secret voice asking him if in the victors position would he have acted any differently to the matriarch as far as things like that went. Well. He wouldn't have taken her arm. Carved his name into her chest. Certainly. But left her like that? No. There was a line that was crossed on that day and it was not somehting that Jack was going to forgive. Iskra had to die. And that was the only thing that was going to solve it. The only thing that would restore unto him the pride that he had lost on that day. Throwing that out of his mind for now. Jack continued to probe the pages. To see if he could pick up anymore magic secrets from within.

The temple held much of his equipment and in truth without going there Jack wasn't going to be able to do much research on these pages or really much of anything. But he was tired and he wasn't one to let things like that get in his way of blood magic research. So for now he was going to make do with what he had. And what did he have? The pages from the Book of the Sparrow. A sample of bark and root from the tree of life that had been fed by blood magic. His own blood. And the sample of fear's blood that he had taken some time ago. Things began to dance in his mind as to just what he was going to do with these seemingly random assortments of items. Well there was one idea that he had. He took a page from the book of the sparrow. And the vial of fear blood in his pocket. And then began to pour a drip from the vial onto the page after popping the cork. The blood as expected landed on the page. And thats when it began to happen where he could see an effect beyond normal paper.

At first. Just as you'd think the blood sept into the paper and then began to stain. But then that stain began to fade away into the paper. And for a moment. Just for a moment. The words of the story began to reveal themselves. Entirely without the aid of the Man Behind the Door's eyes. Well would you look at that . The madness demon seemed to comment from inside of him. There it was. A link between the pages and blood. The book had spoken a few times on blood within its madness ridden poorly written pages. A link between blood, magic, and books. Jack had expected that something would happen. Honestly he had expected the blood just to disappear. As if it had never been on the page to begin with. But the revelation of this. Well this was something he had to take note of particularly when it came to the books in the library. Would all work like this. Unlocked by blood? He doubted it. This book had somehow made it to the physical world. The library was not physical and therefore would not apply to the same laws. But still. It was a step forward with the book of the sparrow none the less. And a learning experience.

Blood had the power to unlock knowledge hidden within blood lines. He wondered.....if the blood of a pysche demon could show it for a moment. What would the blood of a madness demon do? Me thinks you are getting bad bad ideas Jackie boy Much like the man behind the door had done to him on several occasions. He simply ignored the warning. Putting the page to the side and corking the fear blood again. Now what next...

" Bark..wood....blood...pages..."

At this moment there wasn't much that Jack imagined he could do with the pieces that were layed in front of him. As imaginanitive as the pride demon was the materials were just far too limited at this point in time to make any real discoveries on that. Still he had a small victory with the blood of the fear clan on the pages of the book of sparrow. It was a strange thing. But not something that he could really make any use of. At least not yet anywyas. There was a village near enough this but out of the range of the trees influence. No doubt he would be able to think more on it there after he had indulged himself properly. There was a bit of chuckling from the man behind the door knowing full well what Jack meant by indulging himself. It didn't take the Pride Demon too long to get himself there using Devilspeed. And once he arrived therein. He was more or less a bit of an invisible factor to the people of the village. After all Jack didn't over look like an Onikonjou. He was one of the more humanoid looking ones. Albiet slightly pale and with those red eyes of his. Although it wasn't far too much for anyone to quickly take note of just what he was.

There was quite a population centre here and Jack had just the idea of what to do with it. In helping Iskra capture that Kami female. He had developed a disease which would invariably cause humans and othrs infected by it to go on a killing rampage infecting others. Just as he had done before. So he would start the same problem here by unleashing that plague. And watching the results. There wasn't much time previously to watch its progress although he had noted that it had become virulant enough to attract the attention of those in power.

Just as he had done before. Jack reachd out a hand to one of the communities poorer folk. To them it would appear that a handsome man had come to save them. But the red eyes were all but a give away. It was a woman who he extended his hand to. She looked up smiling, took the hand. And sealed her fate.

Suffice to say that it didn't take all that long for the creature ithin to emerge. The human woman went mad mindless. At first she flew for Jack but he ust chuckled and palmed her off. Using devilspeed to ascend to a nearby roof and watch as things progressed. SHe mindlessly assaulted others. The disease spreading with each bite eat touch. It was getting quite amusing. Although he did notice a few inherant flaws with it. One beeing that outside of causing mass hesteria within a city or crowd. This technique wwas mor eor less useless in actual combat. Just because the person would go berserk and attack everything in sight. Also meant that they would continue to attack him. Unless of course he got himself away to a proper distance. Of course. Then again he supposed doing that and turning ally against ally would be quite good. But then again he did have demonic possesion for something like that. But then again. That would provide the guuilt buffer in that they were under the control of the demon and they wouldn't really be responsible for their own actions. In this It would be more useful for putting the guilt on them that it was actually them performing the actions and not Jack himself.

Although his fun never really lasted very long. Strangely at that point a group of warriors rode into town and began to slay those who were infected. Clearing house as it were. Jack wondered to himself if this was just good timing on their part of if indeed there was something else at work here. The curious being he was. Jack merely watched in anticipation. Wondering just what would happen next after these men had successfully slain the infected citizens.
