Then, the Lizardman wrenched off the head of the Tequila, cracked it open before the meteorite altar, smeared its brain matter and blood all over its body, painted totemic patterns on itself, raised the Curved Saber to slash its own arm, and used its fresh blood to fill the red handprint on the meteorite. Afterward, it retreated and knelt on one knee.
Seeing the young Lizardman complete the honorable duel ritual, the three observing Lizardman Elders also dispelled their invisibility.
Yes, there were three. Besides the Stained and the Eggshell one, there was a third Elder present at the scene, holding a golden spear, draped in a cloak, silent all along, cradling a golden egg in its arms.
Once the young Lizardman completed the blood sacrifice, the third Elder stepped forward, chanting in hissing, crackling tones, raised the golden egg high, calling upon the starlight above, and gently placed the golden egg into the Blood Hand, submerging it within the blood of the Lizard People.
