No windows. Just the box. Marcus frowned. “Too easy.” Ethan agreed. “Nobody touch it.” Amelia slowly walked around the room. Her eyes scanned every wall. Every crack. Every stone. Then she noticed a familiar symbol carved into the floor. A circle with four intersecting lines. “The Circle,” she whispered. Ethan knelt beside the carving. “No.” He brushed away years of dust. “This symbol is older.” Elena stepped closer. “I’ve seen it before.” Everyone looked at her.

A soft vibration ran through the pillars. Air thickened. The Veil loosened. The pathway between worlds widened like a door unlocking. This was the first true preparation: making a space where twenty-one circles could arrive without crossing each other’s lanes and triggering territorial instinct. Dawlya didn’t just dislike one another. They competed by nature. A circle was an ecosystem. Introducing another circle’s magic into it felt like poison.

"And the building has been making us. And we have been making the days. The circle is complete in the tenth year. Not closed — the circle does not close.

The top half of the page is covered by an intricate design. The center of the design is a small square with a circle surrounding it. Around the circle are letters. Then several concentric rings surround the letters, each one larger than the last. Some are made up of circles connected together. Others are made of octagons and other shapes. The circles end and triangles form yet another circle around the design. In each triangle is a number and each number is different. Finally, there is one last circle that surrounds the entire design and connects the point of each triangle together.

Aria turned back to the screen. Clearing her throat softly. “Focus.” But her voice wasn’t as steady as before. Adrian noticed. But didn’t comment. Instead— he pointed at something on the screen. “Look at this.” Aria leaned in again. A symbol. Dark. Circular. Intricate. Almost hypnotic.

Found who I am. Incantation: Fire, Earth, Metal, Air, Water and Blood. By these elements, we bind the circle, and follow in the steps of our ancestors; who pledged themselves to fight against the forces of darkness. When evil assails us, when fear weakens us, when descent threatens us, in the circle we will find our power. We come to this place alone, but leave bound as one. With this oath, our journey begins together. Do you accept the circle?

As for his wife, wearing a tight black short-sleeved shirt with tights of the same color. Cia moves one hand in the air in a circle.
