What Did He Give Up?
Once we were clear and the portal closed, the two of us stood in front of the massive red spell circle that was filled with smaller ones. I really wished that I could just cover the damn thing up and be done with it, but things were never that easy.
"So now what?" Tallia asked, but then made a cute squeak as I scooped her up into my arms, giving her a kiss. I then jumped out to the big hole and landed a bit away before setting Tallia back down.
"First, we need to go talk to my brother so I can introduce you," I said as I used my own Mana to draw the summoning circle. "But, I need some of your blood with mine, so you get pulled in as well."
"O-okay," Tallia said, a bit flustered at being kissed and then picked up so quickly. I chuckled as I cut my hand and held it out for her to do the same. Once she did, I smeared some of our blood on the big summoning circle before using my other hand to create a smaller one that was just big enough for the two of us.
