After cuddling for a few minutes, we dressed then headed out into the main room where Zirani had finished the circle. This one was not as complex as the others she made like the bonding circle for me and Sandra, but it was odder. It was similar to the circle the twin horn had been using for the lost queen in that smaller circles were attached to a large circle, and items, mainly cores, were placed in the circles. What was more interesting was that strings of aether had appeared from the cores and attached to the circle and aether was flowing. I would have never been able to understand what was happening early, but now with more knowledge, I was able to come to the conclusion that the strings were a power source and the circle was like a pattern and pathway for the aether.
"What's it going to do?" I asked Zirani.
