Chapter 5

Just as she said it only took her two minutes to get to my home. Melinda was about 55 but looked 43. She was just walking through my doors when I grabbed her into a great hug. "I've missed you mindy, school was eventful.."

"Not now child we must gather the corporeal circle to have us both hear what the elementals need us to know." So as I sat with the purple candle melinda opened the circle by calling forth each element;

Starting with air she faced the clear candle, "Air blow gently so we might hear your whispers from families past come forth! Air!" She lit the candle and I felt the playful breeze flow around me, next melinda decided to call upon fire. Facing south she called out in a clear voice to the element, "Playful and bright during dark scary nights we need you and love you come forth! Fire!" She lit the red candle and Fire joined air in playing around the circle all they while I could feel its warmth radiating through me.

Now though your can see slight figures clear red and translucent yellow dancing around and around in a dance similar to the tengo and waltz. Then she turned toward the west and called out, "Water you give back purity and strength when most fear they have none left come forth! Water!" Lighting the blue candle, A cooling sensation washed over me just as the others flowed around me and I saw another clearish soild blue form joined the first two in the dance only this time more fluidity in its motions making me smile to myself at their joy to be givin form... And the other two started to solidify bit by bit as the elemental were called forward.

Earth was next and I could feel treesa's exictement because she knew she was next. "Earth you are beautiful I'm more ways then one you help keep us moving foreward in time. Come forth! Earth!" I smelled a fresh cut hayfield and then I saw another more solidified form join the other three strengthening them so that they all were almost completely formed. Last was spirit... The one element only that could be called out through me. I looked to Melinda and gave her a nod. "Do it." She nods to me and finished the opening of the. Circle knowing what will come next.

"Spirit, you're there during birth and hereafter our mortal coil is shed I command you now to shed your mortal coil and join this circle... Come forth! Spirit!" As she lit the candle I felt as though my body was ripped apart a million times over I couldnt bear the pain so I squeezed my eyes shut tightly and screamed quietly to myself. Then it stopped. Everything was still and silent I slowly opened my eyes to 5 members in my circle seated around the violet candle's flame and guess what....they all look like me... Well in the body structure their hair and clothes resemble their elements earth looks like grass dress and hair, fire has crimson flames, water has well water. Air has air currents/ clouds and spirit looks just like me but in violet clothing and eyes...

I look up to Melinda for help due to the fact that I don't know how to communicate with the elemntals about why I've called the corporeal circle.... And I'm scared shitless.

"Just tell Treesa to start ok you can do this." I look back to the elemntals and straightened my back...

"Greetings to you all from land of breathing, thank you all for coming forth in this time I have Treesa to thank for telling me to call you here Treesa, you may proceed." I nodded to the earth's version of myself.

With that my first casting has begun.
