Thread: Hidden World (darkangel76 & Neophyte)

Ajax took her hand and shook it You can call me Ajax...most people call me Jax or X, but most of the time I just go by Ajax...now. What it was that I wanted to show you is a ritual that a sect of druids figured out in the late 1800's. It was a way that the druids could speak to the spirits of the dead, but they ended up seeing the mystical world that is parallel to ours. The same druids ended up being the first 'speisialta' in the world, which is what they called it. Its Gaelic for Special, which is what we call ourselves he said as he looked at her. From what I have heard, and what I have experienced, the opening of your mind can be very hard to deal with...luckily your not getting your mind opened by a tramatic experience. If your being tracked or targeted for whatever reason by these demons, then I need your mind to be opened so that you can atleast see your attackers. he said. He moved to the table in the living room and opened the pack that Drake had given him and set the candles in the pack on the table in a 5 star pattern. He lit the candles and beckoned to the couch. Please...have a seat he said and sat down oppisite of the couch and licked his lips. As soon as he sat down he nodded and lit the candles. He withdrew from the pack a large wing from what looked like a condor, because the wing was nearly 15 feet across. He set it in the middle of the circle and pulled the ruby and sapphire from the bag, the last parts of the ritual. Alright...so what were doing here is the original ritual that opened up those druid's minds all those years ago. I already see the world for what it is, so this should have no adverse effect on me...but I haven't ever done these rituals before so it is still to be seen that it won't effect me he said. He put the ruby in his left hand and the sapphire in the right hand. These stones represent the left and the right sides of the human brain. Crushing the stones and sprinkling the dust over the condor wing represents sending you mind into the world, on the wings of change. Once I do this, I will speak a spell, and after that you may feel a tugging in the back of your head, almost like when you believe someone is talking about you. You may also start to hear the whisperings of demons...you must fight that. If you believe what those demons have to say then you may become lost to the evil ways of the underworld. Now you have to promise me that you won't succumb, cause if you do I have to kill you here and now. The best way to fight the influence of these demons is to hold in your mind an image, one that fills you with joy and love, one that the demons can corrupt. he said and looked at her. Are you ready? he asked. Before she could truely say yes, his eyes closed and he muttered a word, crushing the stones in his hand. He then started to pour the dust over the condor wing and said what sounded like a poem out loud. Lords of the Air, Sea and Fire... Heed the words, for it is dire. Men loved, men lost, The elements of deathly cost, Please listen to my cry, Release this human from closed eyes! After he had recited this, the wing started to glow and hover, the candles flames roaring to life. As the fire roared, the wing started to float higher, and spin above the flames of the candles. Wind started to blow from nowhere, and the sounds of water rushing forward could be heard in their ears. The room started to spin and turn, and from Ajax's chest shot a string of light that zoomed into Cara's chest. They were connected now, and as her mind started to open Ajax's also heard the demons that whispered to her, the thinks in the darkness that wished to obtain her soul. Ajax's shut his eyes, growling a bit as he grabbed at the glowing string. Fuck... he groaned, trying to pull away but to no avail. What Drake hadn't told Ajax was when someone who was Special did the ritual, they became a kind of protector, linked with the person that they unlocked. Ajax was now teathered to this girl, weither he wanted to be or now. As Ajax listened he heard a woman's voice, soft and melodic as it spoke to Cara. Cara...my daughter...please be strong...fight through this and we shall see each other again. Ajax gasped, but it wasn't heard over the funnel of air that surrounded them. CARA! he cried out, reaching to her. But as the ritual came to a close he felt his conciousness failing him, his eyes shutting of their own volition. Cara he whimpered, feeling closer to this girl now that he could feel her without touching her. He slumped backwards, his body hitting the floor with a thud as the ritual continued...he could sense and hear nothing that happened to her from here on.
