Ceria-Day One

'Ever? Wow...'
He breaks into a sprint, heading further in.

At the end of the passage is a round door.
"Yes. I was, in fact, the designer of most of the necromantic rituals used today."

He smiles. "Trust me."

'Cool. That must mean you know the forgotten ones then!'
He opens the door in a rush, staring in.

"I know them all. That's what the ring is, a ritual storage. It has every single necromantic ritual, even the new ones."
In the room is Kaley, hooked up to dozens of wires. "Hey." She says, and one of the wires glows, as the others detach. The glowing wire detaches last. She walks over to him, grinning and holding out her hand. "Mission, accomplished!"

"I see. Well, I'm sure she'll find the training very interesting."

"Yep. Wish they had more books, though. Here's the stuff you wanted." He hands her the gun, the circlet, and the ball.

Kaley sets both the gun, and the ball on the ground, putting the Crown on carefully. The lines from before abruptly and brightly appear all over her body. The gold ring around her neck glows, lines similar appearing along it. "Yeah!" Kaley yells, holding a hand out towards one side of the room. A door opens up, cleverly hidden. She looks to the wires, and they pull up into the ceiling, as the door Earan entered through shuts. The door opened on the wall lights up, as does the path to the surface. "Let's go!" she says, picking the ball and the gun back up. The Crown is glowing as well, the whole thing actually floating about an inch from her head.

"Well, I think that's everything." Bob says, and glances towards the drone. "Well, Kaley. You got what you wanted, I suspect."

Kaley's voice comes through. "Well Bob, I dunno. What do you think about... The Crown, the Gun, the Orb, and the Ring, plus, as an added bonus, the code list, all in one go?"

Bob looks stunned. "Daayam, girl, you've been busy. Well... How bout that. Did you really need the Orb, though?"

"It's a gift for a friend."

"Well, here's hoping they use it right! Nice loop, by the way."

"How'd you figure it, anyway?"

"I gazed the girl, of course."

"Ah. Should have known you used your projection like that. Never saw you use a major anything... Huh. That explains a lot."

"See you. Now get you ass off my property."

"Already done, Bob, you jerk." Kaley sounds amused.

"Shoulda known. Good luck, whatever you're doing, by the way."

Eda starts giggling.

"Yes?"

Kaley leads him out, still grinning. There were four doors, and eight measures of security between them and the surface. She did all of them without touching a single thing.

"Well, I must get back to work! We'll see you later!" Bob goes back inside.

The family stands there awkwardly.

'What can you tell me about this?'
Concentrating, he splits his soul again, the shadowy outline appearing briefly before he ends it.

"Ahh... That. It's only possible for a powerful death foci, generally grouped with healing and energy. It can affect the physical realm, unlike an energy projection. The reason it doesn't kill you is healing, of course. I never truly mastered it, as my own healing foci was weak."

They come out, and Kaley leads him to the family. "Mission accomplished! This is for you, Eda." She hands Eda the Gun. "Put it on."

"Trust me. It's for your power."

"You're using not one, but three foci all at once. It's just like when a Nature focus uses water, air, and light together to supply power in a room with none of those things. Except your's deals with your soul, and thus drains further."

"Tis an interesting spell. I've got one better, though. You do the same thing, but reverse it. Instead of splitting, multiply! You'll need a graveyard, the aura of death is necessary."

"What?"

"Heh. You'll have to explain it some time. Well, do you need anything else right now?"
