Joshua would have to take on many forms both human and inhuman in order to have his goal become reality. Some of the things that he had planned were not exactly something he was comfortable with. But if magic was to rise to power they would have to be done. First he would need followers, where better to get those than from cultists. Nasty people who worshiped demonic beings. Slipping into a human body he had discovered was part of one of these cult he had decided to pay them a little visit. The man who he had possessed memories lead him to their underground place of worship. He could smell the stench of death before he even entered the doors. 

These people, he had to have picked these people. The cult that he had joined were a fanatical bunch who worshiped the Old ones. A group of powerful demonic gods who's power easily out did his. Though mere mortals would ever be able to summon them they had been trying none the less. How pathetic. Seemed though that he had interrupted just in time, a sacrifice was just beginning. Joshua sadly had to sit through the process until the actual moment where they began killing things. Once they had finished the slaughter he burst from the man taking on the form of the Demonic gods that they worshiped. 

"Listen here mortals, it is I Joshua. One of the Great and powerful Old ones. I have decided to grant you an audience just this once. Perhaps you can please me and we shall talk again. But that has yet to be decided. I need something from you. I need you to collect the Blood of several creatures. With it I will be able to set foot on mortal soil." The cultist listened intently. "The blood of the Righteous wolf. The blood of a vampire who cannot feel hunger. the blood of a pure female, and the blood of the magically tainted. I understand that this may seem foreign to you but I need this. Bring it all back here either just the blood or the body that goes with it, it matters little. Bring it back and you will be ascended to walk by my side when i enter this world."

The room went dark and Joshua silently left the cultists. What he had set into motion a series of events that would end not only his own demise but also of many others.......
