Who: Sydni and Malakai Where: School grounds When: After dark What: 2 servants of the gods meet
Sydni had much work to do. She couldn't actually do anything for Charlie. She knew she wouldn't get through to him, so she did the next best thing: magick. It had been a while since she'd gone outside for a ritual, but she needed the connection to the earth, the strength of it. She needed powerful magicks for this. The brunette had chosen Hermes for this ritual. She had even gone out and purchased the statue. She'd donate it to the school worship services later, but she wanted the actual icon for her altar tonight. Hermes traditionally guided the souls of the dead to Hades, and so she figured he guided Lost Souls. Charlie was a Lost Soul. He needed help coming back.
Even though the evening was cool, she was sweating by the time she was done. Any worker in energy, reiki healing or anything else, can testify to the heat generated with energy work, and that's what she was doing. She wasn't tired, per se, but she was feeling worn. Emotionally. She was almost finished putting her sacred things away in her backpack when she sensed something. It smelled... not human. In a rush, the memories of her last outdoor ritual flooded back to her. Seized with fear, and fierce determination that she would not be a victim again, she grabbed her athame from the bag and turned toward the approaching figure. It was a sacred item and would have to be destroyed if it shed blood. But Sydni didn't worry about that right now.
