Tento di Cruciamentum

[FenixTomita]

I have a bone to pick with the dealings and the goings-on of the Watchers' Council. Thankfullly to say, my teacher is a renegade Watcher who works with another Watcher and Slayer in the United States, Buffy. I have been compiling gathered information on the rite of passage required of all Slayers once they reach the peak age of 18. While perusing the Tales of the Slayers, I was struck by how unfeeling, uncaring, cold, and detached the Council was, ferverently believing that the controlled environment that they set up is perfectly safe. I disagree, since if it were completely safe, we wouldn't have Watchers such as the likes of Ian Sykes making deals with a Watcher-turned Vampire Creighton Faust in order to get rid of the Slayer before the actual Cruciamentum and in return for Sykes giving Faust a Slayer to feast on, Faust will provide Sykes with a Cagliostro's Crystal which allows him to create an illusion that the crime had already been committed decades before anyone was born.

As the great Homer Simpson said to the Ricky Gervais character in that Simpsons episode...'You use alot of words to say nothing?'

Sorry, that was a little mean spirited, but i'm not huge on the full history of the Cruciamentum so if you could at all re-work all that into something slightly more fathomable to use 'lay-people' that would be appreciated🙂

The Cruciamentum is a test which all Slayers must endure when they reach the age of eighteen in order to prove their instinctual skills and resourcefulness. To do so, the Slayer must survive an encounter with a vicious vampire while trapped inside a small space.

Its from the season 3 Episode Helpless, Faithlehane🙂
