- “If Ras can unlock their secrets and then enact the Ritual of the Blood Moon…”
- “He could bring them back.”
— Suetonius and Lloyd, "Shattered Dreams" |
The Ritual of the Blood Moon is a ceremony that if performed, can free the Forbidden Five from the Nether-Space.
History[]
Background[]
Ras unlocked the Shadow Dojo and reestablished the Wolf Clan, with the intention of freeing the Forbidden Five. The plan involved performing the Ritual of the Blood Moon, which was just one part of Ras' larger scheme for his master to have power over the Merged Realms by controlling the Source Dragons and their energy.[1] To proceed, the Wolf Clan attacked the Cloud Kingdom and compelled the Writers of Destiny to translate the Theroxian texts, which contained the knowledge needed for the ritual.[2] Additionally, they intended to sacrifice five of the writers to take the place of the Forbidden Five in the Nether-Space, including Euphrasia and Suetonius. Since Bonzle was the one who banished the Forbidden Five, she held the key to opening the portal and freeing them. This prompted Zane and Cole to seek out Gandalaria, who could protect Bonzle from Ras until the Blood Moon had passed.[3]
