The Guardian of Fire (S1 Ep.10-10)

(New Moon) Sunday, November 3

Despite the great effort that Joan does to not show her concerns, I knew that something was bothering her. The fact of she had not appeared on Friday to help with cleaning the gym or, even, for the lunch celebration of the boys and girls, was sign enough that something was going on. However, stronger was my idea, after Joan told me yesterday that she couldn't make it today.

It's hard to concentrate on the job in front of us when we know that something's wrong. The most agonizing part is not knowing how I can help her! If only she told me ...

At precisely 47 minutes after noon the Moon and the Sun would be perfectly aligned with the Earth and for a few seconds, the alignment would allow Joan to contact with her ancestors. The door between the worlds of the living and the spirits would be open. The knowledge of this ritual is as rare as dangerous because the wisdom of those who see everything has no limits.

While the Moon followed its direction to the point that Joan was expecting, she started preparing the altar for the ritual. Behind the Mausoleum of her family, between the graves and the drawers of bones, landed on the floor her bag and over the altar began to draw, with salt, a circle. Within this a five-pointed star. Put in four of the five tips, stones, each with a different colour, uttering ...

Joan: …Aqua, Aer, Terra, Ignis…

Seth: …Tempus!

Joan: Mikhael, my brother, I’m glad to see you, thanks for coming.

Seth: I wouldn't let you take this risk alone. Tell me, how will you evoke the spirits without the presence of the guardians?

Joan: I hope their essence do the trick and...

Seth: And?

Joan: …I’ll call upon the power of Ignis for the ritual.

Seth: After everything, you still don't learn, Rebecca!

Joan: We need to find out who's behind the spell and the attack. Trust me! - Extending her hand continued. - Are you with me or not?

Mikhael gave a hand to Joan and landed the other on the fifth point of the star. And so Joan started.

Joan: For love, for life, I beseech energy. For protection, I beseech release the guardian of fire. Release the guardian of fire.

…Few were the minutes to be completed one hour in the afternoon, so, I went to the kitchen to help with lunch, but as Charlie had all oriented, I took the time and joined Kat on the couch to rest a little. When I sat down, leaned against it and Kat did the same closer to me. I was a little tired, my eyes were heavy. All of a sudden I started to feel my leg hot, very hot. When I touched Kat, to drive him away, I burned myself.

Rose: Oh my God! Kat?!

He opened his eyes and I saw flames. He left thru the kitchen door in such a hurry, I chased him but in vain.

Rose: Kat? KAT…
