The ritual

Before Meredith could reply there was a soft knock at the front door. Atlas walked to the door slowly and opened it to reveal Elvin standing there.

Meredith got up from the floor and calmed her raging heart down before she padded towards him. It seems the time has finally come.

"Princess..." He said, extending his arm towards her. They had gone all over the procedures for the ritual but still she couldn't help but be nervous.

She took Elvin's hand and gave Atlas a small smile as she shut the door and began walking down the corridor with Elvin.

She knew Marcus would be there, to say she was embarrassed to see him was an understatement.

"Are you ready to embrace your destiny?" Elvin asked snapping her from her thoughts

Meredith stared up at him blankly before turning her face forward again.

"I'm ready."

They didn't speak again as he walked her to the

common floor room where the ritual would be taking place.
