“Izzy!”
“Cast it!” she shouted back. “The fairy spell!”
“What’s going on?!” Costella cried out. “This is… We need to get out of here! I want to go h-hooooome!”
“She’s right!” you roared, tugging at Izirina’s hand. “Cats it again! Take us back! What are you doing?!”
“It’s going to be okay!” Izirina Henzler shouted back. “Do the ritual!”
(W-what?)
“Not HERE!” you protested. “THERE! In NATURE!”
“This IS nature!” Izzy shouted. “Nature without all the messiness… PURE nature! No disease, no rot or decay!”
“I don’t… It doesn’t WORK like that!”
The ritual which the spriggan had taught you was a dance, a song, a ritual of gratitude and of acceptance. It required no magical ‘energy’, no mana—merely the right mindset, the right words and gestures and steps. An ancient magic, a truly DIVINE magic, meant to attune a being’s soul to its vessel and vice-versa… To make one part and parcel to the world around it. It was, you had been told, how a spriggan could be bound to a tree, or a fairy to a flower, or a naiad to a body of water. It adapted a being to the world, and the world to the being, synecdoche and metonymy. Where there was mismatch between spirit and body and world, it enjoined and attuned them, bit by bit, until they were all naturally akin to one another. It was heady stuff, with implication that you honestly didn’t quite understand just yet, but you’d been told that if you did it right, it would marry body to soul to space, bringing unity and beauty to the ones who dance and sang.
But what would it do HERE?
“Izzy,” you pleaded again, mothing her name and pleading with your eyes.
“Dance with me!” she shouted back, smiling… No, grinning now.
