Angeline Blackrain knelt down to the satchel she had brought with her and undid the clasps. Opening the velvet case she withdrew a dense pouch. With a deep breath she exhaled and began to draw in the energy the earlier ritual helped establish.
Montwyte Blackrain step out of the circle noticing she was beginning a new spell and returned to examining the book he'd drawn it from, "I'm done casting for now, have at it."
Angeline Blackrain watched Monwyte as he stepped out of the circle. She began to walk the inner perimeter, pouring out a fine line of dirt that traced along the circle before moving closer to the center. Angeline carefully poured the grave dirt out in a almost crude pattern. Remarkable in the fact that the sigil had been created by pouring of a single line.She moved back to the satchel and removed a fresh set of high quality wax candles. The black wax smelling faintly of cedar, she began setting the candles out along the compass points. From the satchel she removed a bottle of rum, grasping it in hand.
Angeline took a pull from the bottle of rum, aspirating the liquor over the compass points and the earthen sigil while she walked in a odd almost rhythmic pattern. She spoke low as she began to intone, " By graven earth I make my request. Echoes of the past, the long forgotten dead, I call to you. Hungry Dead hear my plea. Protect me from those who wish to divert me from my fate." She held a handful of earth in her right hand the the pendant in her left. Mentally pulling the energy from the grave dirt and imagined it transferring into the moldvite.
Angeline shuddered as she felt sudden gust of cold air flood away from her center and sweep out across the circle. Instinct telling her that what was done, was done she walked to the edge of the circle and swept a boot across the dirt and power breaking the seal. She shook herself with a sigh and made her way towards the opium before setting herself to the task of cleaning up the ritual space.
