Hello and good evening. I've been offered to post this story on this forum. Hopefully you enjoy it:
Across the eerie peace of the City, I spied a White Cross heading towards the gates. I glided through the people towards the man and stared transfixed as he galloped over the snaking road towards Goldshire. The leafs of the forest were silent, and sounds nor smell would be able to escape upon the wind. Through the blades of grass I walked to the lake, nervous, for I knew I would draw his attention. The heavy weight of the contract I carried upon my shoulders was to be fulfilled, and he would be perfect to do so.

I stood upon a rock void of plants and raised my hands into the air. I commanded the empty piece of sky to become more dense, and collected the particles needed to form the rocks I then set ablaze. Shortly after, stones drenched in fire rushed in a deadly race to be the first extinguished by the cold water in the lake. The explosive sound rippled through the vicinity and the smell of sulphur desperately tried to keep up with the waves of sound.

I turned around, and there he stood. To not raise any attention I played innocent, and grabbed the hilt of my blade. Immediately I was subject to an interview, but I did not mind. Because there, you were. White Cross, book following, boot-licking minion of the Chapter. I took a step forward and asked him his name. After some more foolish dialogue I grabbed a pearl. I held it up, into the light and the essence impatiently twirled around inside it's fragile shell.

“It will change colour according to your intentions” I told him.
When I said it, he seemed sceptical, like a good follower of the Chapter should be. But, after some convincing he wanted to hold the pearl himself. Perfect. He took it, and immediately the outer shell of the pearl broke down, the purple mist evaporated and entered his nose. I was so happy, I wanted to break down in tears and cry. There you stand, with your sharp weapons and protective armour and they're not able to help you now! I bit my tongue and it started bleeding, but I enjoyed the feeling, because I knew what the idiot was going through. Half a minute, but ages in there. The White Cross collapsed.

I took my silver blade and quickly cut my finger, a drop of blood fell towards the ground and I drew the needed symbols into the air to commence the summoning. At that point, I couldn't care less if I would be caught I was too euphoric, and perhaps one day if I don't succumb to the corruption, that will be my downfall. I commanded my succubus to appear and told her the first phase of our contract was commenced. So... She could play with him. And play she did, and a point it was even to horrid for me to look, but in a way, it was pleasing. And I could swear at a point, he was enjoying it too. After a while, I ordered her to return to the Nether, and I would find her second victim as soon as possible. I was aroused, I couldn't help it. I moved over his numbed body and kissed him, like I would kiss a lover. I hugged him and told him he was a great help.

I took his White Cross and walked away. Now, I need to watch my back. But, with careful planning, he will be the first of many, until I find the root of his order and destroy him.
