Re: The Haunting of the Rose - Chapter 2, Heritage
Phelan nodded his gratitude as he removed the pitons and hammer from the kit, then stepped back into the circle. "Drex, keep an eye on the circle. Daryl, keep an eye on the magic of it. If either of you notice something weakening or breaking, get everyone out. Take my pack with you." He pointed at the backpack, sitting alone outside the circle. "In there is a journal, it must be taken back to the Narayah people. Think of it as a last request from me."
"Ancestors watch over me..." Thenarayah murmured, bowing his head before throwing his hands up, awakening the circle in an invisible magical field. "Xidlip..." Words weren't always necessary, but they could help and Phelan would need all the help he could get. The circle activated, providing a powerful containment field of magic. The narayah nodded in approval of his handiwork, before turning to the altar.
He approached the altar, before halting briefly. "This hopefully might make this easier..." He commented aloud, as if he was alone, before mentally tracing a square about the altar. Focusing, he activated a disjuncting burst of magic at it, usually used to disenchant magic items into residuum.
