Closing a Tear is painful!
The next day after I took Mara back into the room to finish the ritual..... It didn't take but a minute before Mara made me finish with nothing but a couple touches here and a couple gentle licks and kisses there and I was putty in her hands. Necro laughed at me as he and Desmaros weaved their hands in some weird patterns that started to pull aetheiric energy from me and from the air and started pooling it into a ball in front of the Tear.
