High Priestess Yara and I hold hands in the middle of the Ritual, the 4 artifacts representing the pure elements of Earth, water, wood, and wind were positioned in four directions of the ritual circle.
These artifacts were statues of 2 women and 2 men, one woman had a transparent crystal on her chest that looked like it had a tornado spinning eternally, a woman had two blue crystals in place of her eyes where water flowed non-stop as tears, a man with armor holding a shield with a yellow crystal giving the feeling of being a mountain that cannot be moved from its place, a man with his hands together holding some earth from where a small tree starts to grow and there was a green crystal stuck in it a little tree.
These four statues appeared to have been sculpted to incredible perfection, giving the impression that they could come to life by opening your eyes at any moment.
Between me and High, Priestess Yara was just a magic crystal filled with pure life energy.
"< Nature Propagation Ritual: Activate >" (I/Yara)
The High Priestess sent her Aura to the magic crystal in the center while I send my Aura to the 4 artifacts containing the pure elements, meanwhile, the other global coins brought by High Priestess Yara were absorbed by the ritual.
I feel my Aura pass through the four statue-shaped artifacts that fill my Aura with their respective pure elements, then mine passes through the statues and enters the ritual circle before climbing up the middle hitting the magic crystal with life energy underneath.
"< Nature Propagation Ritual: Harmonize >" (Yara)
High Priestess Yara makes several Runes in the air by drawing with her fingers at high speed, these Runes enter the magic crystal that glows intensely with a golden and pink light.
I soon feel my Aura harmonizing with High Priestess Yara's Aura before exploding out of the crystal going in all directions.
It only took a few seconds to feel the High Priestess stop the expanding Aura, I could feel the giant size of the Area my Aura was able to reach in such a short time.
"< Let water be the beginning;
May the wind carry the message;
May the wood propagate life;
And may my words be the will of nature. >" (Yara)
The words that High Priestess Yara began to speak seemed to resonate with our Auras as her words made our Auras pulse like a heart.
Soon I was able to feel our Auras and the power they were driving being absorbed by the very environment around us, then jets of water erupt from the floor of the large crater below.
At the same time, the earth begins to rise in some points taking shape, it was only at that moment that I felt our Auras guiding the water and the earth pointing out what they should do while the world itself set everything in motion.
In less than 30 minutes the giant crater became a lake connecting to some rivers, in the middle of the lake there were two islands side by side, then a breeze starts to blow, the wind becomes stronger and stronger and I feel seeds being carried by the wind at the same time a storm seems to brew.
When the rain falls, the seeds begin to sprout and grow at an accelerated rate.
At that moment the High Priestess Yara shouts the name of the other High Priest who stays silent just throwing a small black sphere at her.
I could feel something dangerous in that tiny sphere, just being close to it sends a shiver through my body.
High Priestess Yara takes this black sphere, she creates a complex magic circle for a few minutes, and then creates some spiritual Runes that enter the small sphere which starts glowing with a gray light as purple vapor comes out of it.
After a few more minutes the purple vapor stops coming out of the sphere and the magic circle around the black sphere becomes a spherical barrier around it.
The High Priestess Yara casts this barrier on one of the two islands where the plants were still growing, the barrier expands until it covers the entire island, there was a black and gray energy inside that spherical barrier that spread across that island.
As my Aura was together with the High Priestess's I could see changes in the environment in formation on that island, the black and gray energy were integrating the island itself, and the plants, land and even the water around that island became different.
After another 1 hour everything was ready, a big lake with two islands next to each other, two islands opposite each other.
One island was full of life with vibrant trees and flowers full of life, the other island was covered in gray mist, the leaves and trees had darker tones, and a feeling of desolation affects people just by being near this island.
I was very tired mentally but was glad it was finally over, the ritual began to fade as the High Priestess released my hand.
"Now there's only one thing left." (Yara)
As the High Priestess spoke the other High Priest approaches with wings of bones with a spectral body membrane.
"Want to get some rest first? It doesn't have to be done now." (Henrique)
"Let's not put off something that can be done now." (Yara)
"As you wish." (Henrique)
I didn't know what they wanted to do, but I took advantage while they were talking and went to see how the master was doing, I was worried to see blood on his clothes and skin, but luckily he seemed to be completely fine.
He seemed to be meditating, I asked Nix what happened to the master, and she told me the price the master paid to be able to do something beyond his current ability, according to her someone else would have died doing it.
The master only survived by being the son of a Goddess and being almost a True Dragon, thanks to the various quirks of the master that make him so special, he was able to survive.
I took a cloth and wet it with water from a bottle I have, then I started to clean the master's face, I didn't want to interrupt his meditation, but I couldn't leave him in that state either, so after cleaning his face I fix his hair disheveled.
