Chapter Seven- Unholy Ground- The World
 
Joker was tired, which was odd, because fatigue was a bodily feeling, and you couldn't feel in The World. Unless, of course, you were REALLY in The World. She sighed as she trekked behind Uso.
“Something wrong, Flesh Puppet?” Uso asked.
“No sir.” Her body said, even though there were so many things wrong on so many different levels.
“Good. Now if there is ever anything wrong, feel free to tell me!” Uso said. He then stopped walking, giving time for Joker to get her bearings. They were inside a building, though what kind she couldn't say. She looked in front of her and saw sigils drawn on the floor. In the center was a hole. Uso commanded her to get inside the hole. There he threw in skulls, bones, ashes, and other remains. Joker shuddered inwardly. This was beginning to freak her out. Suddenly two people appeared, each wearing a cloak.
`I recognize that white cloak from Conquest, and that black cloak is probably Boragia. Who else is that big?” She thought. `I guess they're here to raise Chaos. I mean, that's why I'm here.' The white cloak spoke.
“All of the sigils are in place. Do you have the two gifts, the black sword and the golden sheath?” Uso procured them. “Excellent. And you have the girl?” Uso nodded. The white cloak glared at Joker. “Very good. Leave now. Return to base, we will contact you later.” Uso bowed and gated out. Boragia took a bottle.
“This, young one, is the blood of a unicorn grunty. They are especially rare in The World. Illegal to kill if you find one. However,” he opened the vial, “I never was one to follow the rules.” He poured the contents, a thick, sticky, blue substance, into the pit. “This is rumored to have magical powers. I guess we'll find out if it's true!” He stepped back to where the white cloak was standing, reading a book.
“Are we ready?” They asked. Boragia nodded. The two of them grasped hands and began to chant.
 
Joker wanted so badly to leave. The two had been chanting for at least an hour. They had gotten auras surrounding their body a little while ago. She sighed inwardly.
`I don't want to go out this way.' The two stopped chanting. Joker focused in on what they were doing. Each had an orb of color, one white, the other black. They dropped the orbs into the hole, and grabbed their halberds.
“And now, Joker, your part.” The white cloak took Boragia's halberd into their other hand and connected the two halberds, creating a double-headed scythe. They took it into one hand, and with the other pulled their hood back, revealing her face. “Surprise.” She said.
`Oh my god that's-“ Joker thought as she saw the scythe coming for her head.
She couldn't complete the thought.
As her head rolled into the bottom of the pit, and her body collapsed, the white robe, known in The World as Casper, raised the halberds.
“PHA RAGNA!” She cried out, throwing the scythe into the pit. There was an intense light, a light that forced Boragia and her to look away for several seconds. When the light subsided, they looked back.
Seated on an orange Grunty, sat Chaos. She had the body of Joker all the way to her head, which was the classic masks, Comedy and Tragedy. Boragia and Casper presented the sword and sheath to Chaos.
“In the name of the Lord of Death, we welcome thee: Chaos!”
