August 13th - 13 Years Old
We're going to do the ritual tonight, we have all of our supplies and Damon is coming with, he'll be supervising or something like that. .
"Are you girls sure you want to do this? Normally magic is a cut and dry thing, you're either born with it or you just don't have it. I've never heard of anyone trying to gain it this way before."
He's not wrong, the ritual we found was strictly by chance and was found inside a box in the ground around the property of the Boarding House. In a lot of ways that's incredibly suspicious but this is the vampire diaries so who knows what'll happen.
"We need to find a dirt road with three way crossing." I mutter, ignoring his question as me and Caroline look at each other, oh yeah, we're definitely going to do this.
Once we find the three way crossroads me, Caroline and Damon draw a large triangle in the middle of it. We all draw one line in the sand with the dagger, me and Caroline start with the point of the triangle and then drag it down, connecting to Damon's line at the bottom of the triangle.
Next Caroline and I draw a Crescent Moon, pointed upwards, crossed by a lightning flash that starts in a circle and ends in a cross all drawn into the dirt road.
Then we sit down in front of the triangle without a protective circle around us, I sit on the left, Caroline on the right and Damon a short distance behind us as if we are making an upside down triangle.
We make a Mudra with our right hand to gain magic. The sigil and mudra form the sunthêmata, together while we begin calling Hekate three times for help and guidance. Then we proceed to make a garlic offering in the middle of the triangle.
We close our eyes and begin whispering "Hekate Triodia, Hekate Triodia, Hekate Triodia."
Our eyes snap open and the goddess appears before us, bright dark eyes and a silver crescent moon in front of her brow. She was incredibly tall, clothed in a long black dress with a few small silver crescent moons embroidered along the edges. On the floor between her feet is a large black and silver snake and then two large black dogs standing right beside her poised to strike.
. . . Just as Kol and Finn appear, we all begin chanting together almost as if in a trance.
HEKATE KOILÔMATA – Holder of Keys – Ruler of the Daimones, discarnate and Kabirai, Tenderhearted Goddess, HEKATE PROPULAIA;
I - Kyra - Caroline - Damon - Kol - Finn - call upon thee from the centre of DESMOS KAI EKLUSIS (to take & to let go) for supervision and protection. Be the judge of my aspirations and make my magic work, when it is justified. Make my magic fail when not, as thy wisdom and judgement are greater than mine. Show me the proper way and action, and when granting my request, please send me your omen.
We didn't expect Damon to participate and we most certainly didn't expect Kol or Finn to somehow do so as well, perhaps it has to do with the intervention of the goddess herself, because initially Damon planned to just stay in the background of it all and well, Kol and Finn weren't planned into this at all.
The atmosphere around us becomes intensely nurturing and supportive, like a warm glow is on us as we begin chanting again nearly instinctively.
HEKATE KRATAIIS, HEKATE TRIODIA I thank thee for paying attention and thy judgement.
I - Kyra - Caroline - Damon - Kol - Finn - will now close the gate and wait for your omen.
Quickly and nearly in sync we wipe out the triangle and we also swiftly turn around and walk away without turning back.
As we all walk away we hear the sudden sounds of loudly barking dogs, not far ahead of us is a dark haired woman who appears to be walking five dogs, then she suddenly disappears and a ghostly group of five suddenly appears before they all walk off in separate directions.
