By the time nightfall was upon them, Jube came back to the cave, assisting Kestrel and Lupo to their spot for the ritual. There were torches set up around their ritual area, making it easier for them to see. No one was within a close radius, so they were completely alone in the woods. "Alright, I'm just going to get you and Lupo to sit in the circle together. It doesn't matter how you sit, just as long as you both are there." Jube explained.
Jube held a large tree branch that he had smoothed out some in both of his hands, resting the base of it on the dirt below. He closed his eyes and concentrated hard, then began to whisper things that weren't very coherent. It seemed like ramblings rather than actual speech. Next the wind began to pick up around them, but oddly it seemed to completely miss Lupo and Kestrel despite the harsh gusts picking up. Vines poked up through the ground just outside of the circle, and it became clear, everything stayed just outside the circle, and they were in their own protective barrier.
His hands grasped the staff tighter, and he lifted it straight up before him, his eyes opened as he continued to speak the strange incoherent language of magic he had learnt almost effortlessly. With a loud snap, the fire on all four torches surrounding them jumped, and began to swirl around the circle. Jube continued to chant as three elements surrounded Lupo and Kestrel, the sky opened up to release a fourth element, and the rain poured down on them from above. Then, lightening pierced the protective barrier, being the last element to join in.
Though the lightening struck, it was entirely painless. It brought the wish bone pieces together, connecting them like they once were before Jube had seperated them. Lupo and Kestrel were both illuminated, and for the time the lightening was hitting them, they felt each others thoughts, feelings, and emotions. They felt more like one being rather than two. The overwhelming sensation was enough to knock the two out unconscious, and the elements departed, leaving the circle open, and the ritual finished.
