Sacred Vows (I)

Magic danced in the air as Mortimer chanted the sacred spell. Seraphina watched as the everything solid inside the bowl started melting, turning into a condensed sparkly golden liquid.

"Join your hands." Mortimer told them before he continued with the chanting.

Seraphina watched as the man around her moved, and the next moment, her hand was wrapped in theirs. Four big palms were completely covering her small one.

Mortimer finally finished the spell and the golden liquid of the bowl got divided into five different parts before all five threads of the liquid flew out of the bowl and merged into their hands. A warm sensation covered their joined palms and Seraphina felt the magic entering her body and traveling all the way up her arm before it reached her heart. She then felt that warm magic surrounding her heart before it settled deep in it.
