IT was a full moon out. The waves crashed gently on the shore. They seemed
to make there own music. Crashing first on extended rocks then on the
shore. Three girls lead the way with packs to the perfect cove for a
ritual. Four students there age and there own mentors closely followed
them. The moonlight made the sand appear to glow a silvery white and the
waves hide deep secrets. The girls halted in the middle of a large stone
cove. The water was nearly thirty feet from the stone, enough room for the
girls. The moonlight glittered off their velvet cloaks and skin. They wore
simple tunics, breaches, and boots compared to the others. The teachers
wore gowns, robes, or tunic, jerkin, and breaches. Briar, Sandry, Tris, and
Daja watched with a intriguing glimmer in there eyes as the three girls
from a distant world began to set up a circle of white candles.
"That's a lot of candles." Lark whispered softly to no one in particular.
The wind swallowed her words immediately drowning them out. It played
softly in Daja, Tris, and Sandry's hair. Larks hair was pulled into a tight
braid and Rosethorn's was pulled up into a bun to keep out of her face. The
girls put granulated salt, a basin of seawater, a athame and offerings of
small cakes and wine in the center on silver platter and goblet. The girls
began to light the inscents and candles. The teachers spread out so as not
to look over others shoulders to view the ritual. The girls looked to the
curved line of people near them.
"Lets try a new circle." Annie whispered. Her voice seemed to echo in the
cannon against all others. They nodded and began to circle the ring of
soft light, Annie first with the salt. She sprinkled it lightly around the
circle starting in the east and softly whispered as she circled. Where the
salt touched the ground Niko could see the aura of magic's growing. As she
finished the circle a soft light seemed to flicker around the circle and
cast up like the thinnest veil of sheet, doming over the girls. Kate went
next with water whispering this time the circle added a blue magical tint
rather then the silver. The girls seemed to glow in the colors they were
laying out for protection. She finished and the blue overlapped the white
making it barley visible threw. Tris held her hands up against the blinding
light trying to see what was going on without it hurting her eyes. The
others squinted. The form of Cooper now moved her body shimmered red as she
began to move then burning incense around the circle. The smoke raised a
fiery red and meshed with the other walls to weave in and out to form
almost a solid wall of magic.
"What are they." lark mumbled staring.
"They're summoning the four corners for power." Rosethorn whispered she
either saw knew what they were doing. Faint dark shapes moved around inside
as a blinding light inside blacked It all out.
~Inside the circle~
The girls stood in the center and no sooner then they had called in the last corner white light blazed before them. The girls stepped back.
"Not another ghost anything but another ghost." Cooper whined nervously. What was confronting them had more power then anything from there home. Three figures began to appear before them. A young man stepped forward first, he was wearing black leather breaches a black soft cotton tunic with large sleeves that draped is arms, and a black leather jerkin lined in silver. A woman near his age also stepped before them, her gown was silver and flowed behind her like a soft stream. Her hair settled down her back. The girls still could not make out features. A small child appeared next wearing a gown of swirling silvers blues and purples. The light faded a bit dimmed enough to see there face. They all appeared to look the same, the man was older, the woman younger, and the child, well a child. They all had striking green eyes with golden tints in them. The male's hair was a purple color mixed white whites and a bit of blue, the woman's was fiery red, and the child's blue as the ocean with silver highlights flowing threw it. The woman at the center stepped forward. "Welcome." She spoke softly. The wind seemed to echo her words. "Who who are you?" Annie replied her body was tense deciding weather to stay or flee. "We are the fates." The man said softly from behind her. "The fates?" Cooper asked. "Past present and future." Kate mumbled. "And all four elements." Annie said noticing the hair and eyes. "It fits I guess, but why come to us. We did not ask for your help. "No it is the gods who ask you for your help." The woman of present said smiling then frowned. "Bad times are coming, a new enemy with creatures not of our world is rising. He plans to kill all in his path to victory." She said when the girl walked forward. "You are the key, to this worlds defeat or its win." She said in a childish voice. However childish it sounded as if it had more wisdom then all people combined. "He is using tools of your world to fight his war." The man of past said. "Already he fights with a country allied to this one." He said. "Will you fight for us?" present said sadly. "it is all we can do to help our people." The girls looked to each other nervous. Kate was shaking, Annie was pale, and Cooper was looking as if she was about to run. "If, if we help you, can we go home?" Cooper said swiftly. "We can not determine that, it is the will of the higher gods." They all chorused. "What choice do we have." Annie whispered. "If its machines from our time well have the upper hand." Kate pointed out.
"All together." Cooper smiled touching her necklace. It seemed to glow with fire. "we will help you." They said in unison. The fates smiled and disappeared in the blinding light they came in. The candles were out and cakes and wine gone. The girls just stood there shivering in the night air.
