Spawn #146

Wandering the country in hopes of stopping Mammon and regaining the memories he stole , Al Simmons comes across a small town with a mysterious tradition. In order to ensure the safety of its citizens , the townsfolk have created a Tiend celebration that results in a sacrifice. Feeling his involvement is required , Spawn tries to stop the sacrifice. But his heroic motives result in Spawn coming face to face with The Forgotten Ones. Angelic creations of God , The Forgotten Ones had refused to fight against their creator; nor would they take up arms against their rebel brothers. Because of these actions , The Forgotten Ones were banished , but they also claim another in the tribe: Mammon. Although it could result in the end of their existence , The Forgotten Ones permit Spawn to try and save the sacrifice and stop the Tiend. Upon completing the ceremony , Spawn is able to save the girl. The Forgotten Ones warn Spawn that stopping this sacrifice has only caused a chain reaction and more sacrifices will need to be made.
