The Fourth Circle I

Freya spent the next couple of hours meditating. Her mental energy recovered quite rapidly while meditating, and soon she was ready to try again. The mage informed her partner, who nodded and began to actively protect her.

The raven haired mage remained in the lotus position, and began to focus on her mana core. In a few seconds, she was once more floating in the wide dark space, staring at three spinning rings around a small light.

The mage extended her hands and began to focus on the cloud of golden particles surrounding the mana core. She willed the countless golden particles around the mana core to come together and slowly began to shape them into a giant ring.

Unlike the previous time, Freya was far more careful and patient this time. She didn’t immediately force them to take shape, either. Instead, she increased density of golden mana particles in different regions, before bring them together to form the ring.
