"Be careful Daughter. When you use this spell you never know what you are going to get so you have to be careful. If you are not then you could unleash something terrible upon the world. Do you remember the words"
A man was talking to his daughter. She'd seen this over and over again. "Of course Father. This is the 10th and hopefully last time I will do this. I'm 16 and I still haven't gotten a partner. If this one doesn't work then I don't know what I'm going to do." The man smiled at the young girl, almost an adult. "You know you do not have to leave the village. You can still live with your old man." The girl, she looked about 16 or 17, looked shocked. "You are not an old man Father! Your still in your 30's!" The man smiled but looked up at the sound of drums beating and footsteps approaching. "It is time Daughter. You must go now." The girl smiled at her Father. "Yes papa." She lapsed into the informal and used her childhood nickname for her Father. The girl walked out of the small hut. She walked towards the ring of fire in the center of her village. She walked up the steps and stood in the center of the fire. "Do you wish for a partner with all of your heart?" A mysterious voice asked. "Yes." The fire went higher than her head. "Then recite the words and spill your blood upon the ground as an offering to the kami that you might find a match for you." She spilled her blood and took the prayer position on the ground. She started to recite the words. "...Across time and space
Bring to me, a familar face
To help me in life, to succed
And in death, that I may not bleed
To help me be not defeated
Please help, them come, and be seated
That one may come"
That chant went on and on many different times. To many to be able to keep a track of. The fire went down and the girl's head came up. "Please...please come...so that I..I can get out of here... so I...can belong..."
This is just the beginning. The rest depends on if I get some reviews.
