Nerium feels his yearning. The lure of magic at such great power scratching at his skin. And perhaps something else along with it.
She waves her hands above them, and the sky goes pitch black, stars brighter and more plentiful than can typically be seen on even the clearest nights. It is a localized spell, but it is effective nonetheless.
"It is my worship. It is the power I - my family - has sworn our magic to since days of olde.
Before there was this world, before there was this universe, all of existence was darkness, and in the darkness there was a great chaos that is the source of all power. From that chaos came the universe, and the universe the world. The oldest powers of dark and chaos manifested themselves into gods and goddesses, demons and deities. They have long since been forgotten by most. Feared by those who have not. But it is to them that my family gives worship and sacrifice, in exchange for the secrets of their art. In knowing that without the chaos and dark so feared by most, all would be gone."
It is a story she has been told since she was a young girl. Which she has sworn her life to. Demons and goddesses and deities she has sown herself to, who have taken so much of her. It is the Grimhilde way.
