The Ritual of Passage

When dinner was ready, Piper laid the plates on the table and turned to her sisters. "You know, it's been a while since we've sat down for dinner all together without magical interruptions. Maybe tonight we can enjoy it to the end."

Phoebe smiled, raising the glass of wine. "A demon-free and worry-free evening"

The sisters laughed, raising their glasses and toasting. But the peace was short lived.

As they were about to start eating, a strong and sudden vibration ran through the whole house, making the windows and chandeliers shake. A cold wind crept into the room, blowing away the lit candles. The sisters stood alarmed.

"I don't like it at all," said Piper, clenching her fists, ready to freeze any incoming threat

Suddenly, an old magic book, kept in a glass case, opened itself at the center of the table. The pages began to flick frantically until they stopped at a particular, where a series of engraved symbols seemed to shine with their own light. The title of the spell was written in ancient letters: "The Ritual of Passage."

Prue approached the book, silently reading the first lines of the spell. Her face became serious. "This is an ancient ritual, one that is performed only in moments of great danger. It speaks of a passage... Change, or perhaps a new era for our magic."

"And what does that mean for us?" he asked

Paige, curious, approached the book, but as she touched it, a bright light burst from the pages, enveloping all the sisters in a circle of energy. They could not move, but felt connected, as if an invisible force was binding them even more.

Time seemed to slow down. Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige looked into each other's eyes, felt their hearts, thoughts and emotions flow through them as if they were one

Then, Paige's voice broke the silence. "We have never been so close. It's as if this ritual shows us the true essence of our bond."

Suddenly, the circle of light melts and the sisters find themselves in the living room, the book closed before them. Everything seemed normal, but inside they knew that something had changed. The magic flowing through them was stronger.

Phoebe, always the most intuitive, sorry. "Maybe this is just the beginning of a new phase for us. A phase in which our strength as witches becomes something... extraordinary."

Paige, still a little stunned by the experience, huddles next to Prue, feeling a sense of belonging like never before. "And whatever happens, I will always try to protect you."

The sisters looked at each other, knowing that the magic within them had changed, but that their bond remained the only true certainty. With that thought, they sat down again at the table, ready to pick up where they left off. The dinner was quiet, but with a new awareness: they were ready to face any challenge, because they were stronger together than they ever imagined.
