The Ritual
Earlier in the day, Divina had brought up the idea of gathering the whole community and showing them who they really were, incase things went South. But Luciana had argued that it was way too soon and that things had not gone bad yet. She said the villagers where not yet ready for the knowledge of their true identity.
Sia sighed. "Can we start now please?" She asked.
She had supported Luciana immediately she told them about the ritual that could be performed to know Lucifer's whereabouts. She was even mad at Luciana for not bringing up the issue early enough.
Divina sighed. "Alright guys - here goes; the ritual is going to attract every celestial in every part of the universe where I concentrate the search on. I'm going to concentrate the search, on earth firstly - then Hell - then the golden City. Is that cool with everyone?" She asked.
"Cool." Divina Saïd as she gathered some sticks around, poured some particles of sand on and around the sticks, then she lit a match.
Everyone stared in awe wondering how she was going to light a Sandy wood - well she was a witch, anything was possible - or so they thought.
Something was bothering Josh and he needed to get it off his chest, he was not really sure if he understood the statement which Divina made before she started the process.
"Wait, guys, before she proceeds, do you mean that there are other Celestials like you guys on earth?, And they would get the signal once the process is started?" He asked.
"I'm not a celestial, i' m human like you, I just happened to fall in love with one" Sia interrupted causing everybody present to burst into laughter.
"Well there might be others, but the only celestials that we think are on earth right now are Felix and his vampires (the guys who kidnapped you), the rest are probably in other parts of the universe. And yes they would get the signal once the the process is started." Luciana said, trying to answer Josh's question.
"Wow." Josh replied, genuinely astonished. Hoping to see some real action soon enough.
Divina sighed. "Well now that we are all up to date can we keep quiet and let the ritual begin?" She asked.
Every one giggled as the watched her bring out a pack of matches stick from the left side of her bag.
They continued to watch as Divina lit the first stick of match - she muttered some words - then she placed it on the Sandy wood. It quentched.
Everyone sighed thinking that things might be normal with Divina too. But there where shocked to see the sign of surprise on her face.
"Is everything okay?" Sis asked as Divina dropped the 6th failed match.
"Shh." Divina hushed as she lit the 7th stick of match and the whole stick which she sent went up in flames.
She stood up from the floor where she sat with the rest of them and brought out some whitish substances which she poured in the flames muttering some silent utterances.
Then she sat down again and held Luciana's hand with her left hand and Dis either right.
"Hold yourselves." She said, as every other person held each other in a circular pattern round the burning sticks.
"You might want to close your eyes if you want to join me in the search." She added, causing everyone to close their eyes almost at the same time.

Michael strolled into Divina's hotel, hopping to find Felix or just get a drink on his own. He was still pissed about the discussion he just had with Gabriel in the golden City - so he needed something or someone to help clear his head.
He walked into the bar of the Hotel but he wasn't sure if Michael was in. He scanned through the rooms from where he stood in search of Felix or any Vampire at all. But it seemed as though they where all absent.
"Where the fuck did those scum bags go to?" He muttered as he walked into the bar filled with normal humans or so he thought.
As he was about to sit on one of the chairs in the bar, he felt as though a girl sitting on - a few seats away from him - was looking at him.
But then he raised his head up to look at her momentarily, but she seemed to have looked away, or she wasn't looking at him at all. He sighed - she was actually none of his business - infact - no body was.
"Such a proud fellow." he muttered poured himself a glass of whisky.
He was about to drink from the glass when he saw the girl whom he had thought was staring at him earlier, now standing next to him. This startled him. Causing some content of the drink to spill on his clothes.
"Hi." The girl whispered.
"Holy Heavens, you scared me. Who the hell are you?" Michael asked as he used his hands to clean the alcohol soiled clothes he was now wearing.
"My name is Felicia. I'm sorry if I scared you, but you look sooo, familiar, I could bet that I must have seen you somewhere before? So I walked up to you." The girl said.
Michael sighed while he continued to clean his clothe; "well I wish I could say the same about you but I don't know..."
He paused on his statement as he looked at her face, there some sense of familiarity in her eyes. He couldn't rest figure out what it was, but the only person he knew that had those kind of eyes was long gone.
"My name is michael." He said on a second thought.
"I could swear that you look really farmiliar too but I don't know." He added.
"Very funny. So what are you doing here in the bar? You having trouble sleeping?" Felicia asked.
"Well I came to see the owner of the hotel but..."
"Felix?" Felicia asked completing Michael's statement for him
"Yes Felix, how do you know him?" Michael asked.
"Well let's just say, we are fastly becoming friends." She replied giggling.
