Isaac Braden In All Hollow's Blood Sacrifice

Improved Essays
Isaac Braden was a demon. He hated being summoned but it was a fact of life. If someone learned his true demon name, they could invoke him and once a ritual had been completed, he would be bound to their command for a twenty four hour period.

On the All Hollow's Eve, Celtic festival Samhain, Isaac is summoned to a satanic ritual. As the ritual states, he has to choose one blood sacrifice from the three naked men hanging in the underground cave. Only one of them holds Isaac's interest.

As much guilt and regret as he feels, Isaac is helpless to stop from claiming the blood sacrifice, a young man named Jory, who was kidnapped and forced to be at the ritual. Isaac tries to reassure the man as much as possible but that’s hard to do when he's 7 ft. tall, has red glowing eyes, claws, and horns. He tries to tell the man in his own way how sorry he is, Isaac is stunned when the man replies telepathically.

Isaac is just grateful that the high priest makes a mistake and leaves a loophole. When Isaac is bound to the command of one person, that one person ends up being the blood sacrifice, Jory.

But Jory has secrets of his own. For one, he knows about demons and summoning. Two, he's related to a witch, and demons and witches hate each other. Three, Jory refused to be with someone that won't treat him like an equal. Jory wants to be able to fuck Isaac as often as Isaac fucks him. The problem? Isaac is a demon and demons do not submit unless commanded to. And Isaac doesn't trust anyone that commands him.

Their problems abound but not as much as they do when one of Isaac's relatives tries to kill him and kidnap Jory. He hates Isaac and has plans to finish the ritual with Jory as the sacrifice. Can Jory and Isaac forget their differences long enough to save each other's lives or will the secrets they refuse to share tear them

    Aslan sacrifices himself, for Edmund, who had betrayed his siblings and Aslan. The White Witch laid claim to his “blood” and intended to sacrifice Edmund on the “Stone Table,” but settles on a trade to sacrifice Aslan instead. (Lewis 78, 46) ‘Ed’ did not deserve to be forgiven or accepted into Aslan’s army, though Aslan loved him so much that he traded his own life for the young boy’s. Edmund is symbolic of the sinners and faithless in the Bible, who called for Jesus’ Crucifixion. Aslan’s sacrifice for Edmund shows Aslan's great forgiveness of his treachery, just as Jesus had said on the Cross “forgive them,” begging God to pardon those who had betrayed and scorned him.…

    The legend of Aleister Crowley, as it can be called nothing less than that, began on October 12, 1875 (Booth 4). Born to a family which belonged to a rather strict form of Christianity known as The Plymouth Brethren, young Crowley had limited access to ideas which varied from the church’s doctrine as well as books outside of the Bible. This limited access forced him to focus on the biblical stories leading to a mind fed on stories of false prophets, the beast and the number 666, “Crowley’s character was starting to form in ways others might regard, especially today, and unhealthily biased and narrow.” (Booth 11). His father, Edward Crowley, whom he respected and admired, died March 5, 1887 from cancer of the tongue after receiving electro-homeopathy…
