Divine Souls

My name is Aki. I am just about to meet my best friend Runar for the first time in many years. We have known each other since we were teens and have been best friends since. He has saved me many times and I have fallen in love with him and even though he knows and doesn't love me back nothing has changed between us. Today though I got him to agree to perform a magic ritual with me to bind our souls together so we will be together in every life we live. Even though I know magic isn't real I really want to try it out. 

Later that night...

[Aki] Are you sure you want to do this? We don't have to if you are uncomfortable

[Runar] Come on it seems interesting. Also I like the thought even if nothing happens and we just wasted time. 

[Aki] Alright then lets begin setting it up.

We both worked together to set up the magic spell. We drew a big circle with many runes around it and put candles around forming an 8 pointed star with us at the center. We lit the candles and began casting the spell.

[Together] Oh gods and goddesses of our world we call out to thee on this night. We ask you to bind our souls together so we may forever be together no matter what life we live. Twist our threads of fate together and let us never lose the other.

[Aki] Okay now here is the worst part. We need to cut our palms and let our blood drip onto the circle.

[Runar] Seriously?! You never mentioned that part

[Aki] Yeah cause I thought you would be afraid. That's why I brought some alcohol.

[Runar] Ugh alright fine but you owe me for this. Pass me the bottle and get ready to cut.

[Aki] Alright just let me know when.

Runar chugs half the bottle of whisky and holds out his hand as Aki slices his palm. Runar does the same for Aki after giving him a good smack on his head.

[Aki] Oww god did you have to hit me so hard?! 

[Runar] Serves you right for not telling me before hand. Alright lets just finish this so I can bandage this and smack you again. 

[Aki] God okay lets finish this as quickly as possible.

[Together] Oh gods and goddesses of this world we offer our blood to you in payment of our request. We ask you to hear our pleas and answer us.  So mote it be.

[Runar] Well that was a bust, now im gonna be healing from this for awhile. 

[Aki] Yeah sorry, I shouldn't have wasted your time like this. Lets just go get some bandages and clean this up. Then we can play a game together.

Suddenly the candle flames increase in size to half a foot tall. We both hear a voice from above that sounds both male and female. 

[???] We have accepted your offer and shall grant you your wish. Prepare yourselves because this will be painful.

Suddenly we both feel as if someone is ripping out our hearts and shoving it through a keyhole. Through the pain we both manage to see a small glowing orb floating over our chests. Then as if on cue the orbs both fly towards each other and begin to merge together. As this is happening we hear the voices start to speak again. 

[???] We shall give you a blessing and grant you a seed. Make sure to grow and nurture it well. 

Then what seems like a drop of golden sunlight falls from the sky and merges into our what I can only assume to be our souls. Right after this something unexpected happens. A crack in the air forms and sucks our merged souls into it. Right before we lose all consciousness we hear the voices speak again.

[???] Someone has interfered with this ritual?! We must try to save their souls! They need to live to help in the coming days.

After that it was only darkness.
