Let the Circle be un-broken.
These were the words the gatherings started, and ended with.
Let the Circle be un-broken.
Every time they met, eight voices agreed.
Let the Circle be un-broken.
And if it breaks, then we'll fix it.
Let the Circle never break.
And if it does, then the missing link we will not forsake.
Let the Circle be un-broken.
Then they left, to who knows where.
After they knew there was no danger.
After they knew of no new things to do,
They left to were ever they came from.
But one night, on gathering night,
Only seven vocies spoke.
Someone was missing, someone had gone.
No longer was the Circle whole.
The Circle was broken.
"Let the Circle be un-broken."
With that, we finished the gathering. I didn't know where the others went, and they didn't know where I am going. For some reason, I felt strange. As if I could sense impending doom. But I left the physchic parts of magik to Hope and Light. They were the human angels. I was mother nature. I went to my treehouse. Yes, a tree house. Although it's the most complete one you'll ever see, complete with running water and a bathroom. As I climbed inside, I shivered. I knew for certain that something was going to happen. Something big. And soon. Very, very soon. Suddenly, I heard something. I didn't know what it was. A second later, I blacked out.

I walks towards the gathering. It wasn't much, just a clearing. But this is where we met, where we talked, where we did everything together. The Circle revolved around the gathering in some ways, yet in others the two had npthing in common. I stopped at the edge of trees, still in the shadow. Stood under a sort of arch way, made by the branches. I was invisble to anyone else. Looking around, I saw seven other arc ways. I tunred my eyes upward, as I knew the others must be doing. Although I couldn't see them. I waited for the signal, the moon coming out, followed by a single star. When that star appeared a moment later, I said clearly, "Lert the Circle be un-broken." Just as seven other voices should have been saying. But this time, something was missing. I couldn't quite place it. I stepped from the shadows, into the center of the gathering. So did the others. We all noticed it at the same time. Sincerity was missing.
The Circle was broken.
