When a child is born, they are gifted a stuffed animal with a puzzle piece around its neck. The stuffed animal is their spirit animal, while the puzzle piece is the piece that will "complete" their soulmate. When this child turns fifteen, they are to do a ceremony. Basically, what happens is that they are sat in a chair and a hooded figure will pill black ink all over their body. This ink will burn in a specifc spot and when wiped away will reveal the puzzle piece mark of their soul. This is when they are to begin their journey in finding their soulmate. When they meet they are around their soulmate, the mark will burn much like when the ink was spilled. The longer they go without bonds with their soulmate, the more pain they feel when around them. This has resulted in deaths. If a soulmate is rejected, the mark with burst into flames and burn them alive. The way to reject a soulmate is to burn the puzzle piece. The way to bond with a soulmate is to perform a ritual. Close friends and family of both with surround them in a circle. One soulmate will take the puzzle piece from the stuffed animal and gentle place it against the mark of their soulmate - fitting it perfectly. The mark will then glow for the rest of their lives - the brightness changing as their mood does. When both soulmates complete each other, they must end the ritual by holding their hands over their partners mark and kissing each other. The tradition of a celebratory party often runs through families. If this ritual is performed with false emotions, or if two non-soulmates attempt it, one will perish. -------------- Started: 9.1.18 Ended: -.-.- -------------- Hi!
