With a whole lot of surprise.
Spell a word that doesn´t fit in
And that´s a spell in desguise.”

“Regarding 'Jabez's Prayer', I will say at once that I am a very poor Christian, and indeed a bad man. My besetting sins are many, and the least of them are the fleshlier ones: the really deadly ones are pride and intellectual arrogance. But I can honestly say I have never sunk to confusing prayer: the soul's colloquy with the Creator, mortal man's dialogue with the Deity: with magical incantation and the ritual of the 'spell.”
― Markham Shaw Pyle

“How many invisible, abstract incantations ruled the world beyond the Southern Reach?”

“Mr. Bode piped, “Just to reiterate the specifics. We want the magical essence of the Quintet to reveal themselves through their spirit keys. So, Helloise, you can do half now and complete it at the height of the Taurunox so it has maximum effect. That should be just shy of ten when the students are enjoying their last dance.”

Mrs. Vee nodded, closed her eyes, and proffered her arm with the blue Obiscule in her palm.


Mr. Bode spoke again. 'Oh, and before you proceed, Helloise. I apologize for the inconvenience, but when we do identify the Blood Quintet, we will all be on bodyguard duty for the night at their homes just to ensure they're fine throughout the duration of the meteor shower. "


Mrs. Vee huffed. “Rather annoying. But I guess I see the sense in it. I’ll be using my alternative form, however. Surely, that’s permitted in these…special circumstances.”

Mr. Bode glanced at Mr. Bruce, who nodded.

"Yes, you may morph,” Bode said. “But I warn… you may be subject to fierce attacks from the enemy. I say that to say that it is not my prerogative to tell you not to use forbidden spells."


Each of them nodded in agreement.

Mr. Bruce added. “Kat. You’re the most inexperienced here. If there’s anything you will need before the vigil then I’m sure you can approach any of us here. Yes?”

"Got it." Ms. Nash nodded, her fingers trembling under the table.


“Please proceed, Helloise,” Mr. Bruce ordered.


Mrs.Vee inhaled deeply before enunciating a melodious five-lined incantation that could pass for a nursery rhyme. Seconds later, her blue orb emitted five strands of flaccid, spaghettified blue light which fell down over her palm like a quintet of luminescent shoe-laces. Without warning, the light laces stiffened and shot off in different directions. The room glowed momentarily as the light inside the orb flickered like a flame in the wind. Finally, Mrs. Vee uttered a single word, pitching the room once more into semi-darkness.


“Done,” she said, sitting.

Mr. Bruce gave her a half-hearted clap. “Brilliant.”

“O’ Nine of Sacred Woods...
When nine of magic woods combine, they create a spell, divine.
To use to conjure up the best of all the forest’s great defense.
To keep protected and ensure that light and life indeed endures.
From Alder, Rowen, Willow, Birch to Hazel, Holly, Hawthorne’s perch. And then there’s Ash, the forest’s Queen, accompanied by the Oak, it’s King.
They come together in glen and grove, to grow in such a treasure trove.
So, use their force, their strength, and grain, to ensure your powers never wane.”
― Andrew Pacholyk, Pearls of Light: passion, poetry & positive affirmations
