The Lost Stone Of Consequences

Chapter 11: The ritual

Jessica took a deep breath, then let it out.

"Lord, help me do this." She murmured, glancing quickly at Lukas.

Having seen Lukas give her a thumbs up, she began to sing.

Sung

A snow-white gown,
Like feather down.

A witness needed for this rite,
to be done in the silvery moonlight.

Reaching over as she continued, she began pulling flowers and spreading them in a circle around the hem of her gown.

A circlet of flowers upon the ground;
the maiden (s) fair must have around.

Lukas noticed a soft shimmer beginning to surround his love.

A veil to guard her face and heart;
Be careful or this Ritual you must restart...

Jessica paused and re-whispered her prayer, then continued, not noticing the gentle cyan glow about her. Then she sang from the bottom of her heart.

A whispered prayer, a heartfelt song;
An Inheritance shall be given to whom it belongs...

The stars seemed to tremble in anticipation during the last piece of the song, Jessica's eyes sliding closed in eagerness.

Rise! Oh, stars of the night!
Shine upon the maiden (s) of tonight!

Silence stretched for several seconds, during which Lukas quickly checked everything.

The glow that had enveloped Jessica suddenly spread, capturing Lukas in it, blinding him for several seconds.

When the light faded, he stared at Jessica, her arms up and out.

Then she turned, showing him her glowing white eyes, pulsing with power.

She began speaking in the language he didn't know.

He reached his hand out to her, which she gently took.

Meanwhile, with the others

Lily blocked the blow as her father swooped above her as the magic sphere engulfed them.

Her magic abilities now amplified, Lily threw Steve away from her.

"The Ritual is complete!" Cried Herobrine, as he and Entity 303 landed.

"Then I shall be leaving. Shall we meet again, Herobrine?" Entity said, to everyone else's surprise.

Herobrine's eyes returned to normal as he said, "Yes. We shall. Goodbye, Entity."

Steve yelled as Entity vanished.

Jesse glanced at his crush in worry.

Petra was calm, despite everything.

The Bridge reappeared as Jessica and Lukas approached, arm in arm, Jessica's eyes still glowing.

Steve scowled, then, before anyone could react, he raced, shoved Jesse away, and grabbed Petra, putting his sword to her neck.

"Take me to the Stone, or she dies."

I ain't dead! I just had a huge brain fart of what to do.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I hope you have a good Christmas and you stay safe and healthy, and I will see you in the next chapter.

Soar high, my hybrid fledglings! ⊂(•‿•⊂ )*.✧
