Conjuring Ritual

In some high rise building

In Tokyo, Two men and one woman were sitting around the table, playing chess.

Two men were on the same side, working on the white side of chess while on the opposite end the woman was casually drinking tea while moving her black pieces.

Surprisingly, two middle-aged men dressed in formal clothes were having a difficult time thinking about their next move while the woman was calmly waiting for them to make a move. She was a middle-aged refined lady who was wearing comfortable robes, as worn rich-class ladies.

With a knock on the door, Venezia entered the room, without bothering to wait for a reply from inside. She sat on the chair on the side while waiting for the men and woman to acknowledge her.

The Man finally on verge of pulling his white hair out in frustration turns to Venezia, asked

"You are here? Then why is that boy in MoJ?"

Venezia turned to him and clicked her tongue,

"Because he wanted to go with them. "

"Are you serious? This was a high-priority mission, we sent you with enough support, money, and even a private jet. And in the last part, you let him walk with MoJ?"

She turned her big eyes towards Old man, her medium-length hazel hair bouncing with the movement of her head.

"Mission description was to bring back Orion Trudger from the USA unharmed. I completed this. What is now your problem?"

The man stood up from his chair and raised his hand in frustration towards his head, his voice slowly increasing in volume.

"And then you let him go? What bullshit? We didn't spend much time simply transporting him to Japan. What did we get? We wanted him here and you let him walk with MoJ!"

Venezia too stood up and yelled in response to him,

"Why the hell are you obsessed with him? He is just a normal boy. I was not going to force him here only because of your doubt. What will we get by bringing him here?

Ridiculous."

She departed in anger, also not forgetting to slam the door after her.

The man deflated a little after her temper, he turned to another man who was still thinking of chess move,

"Adrenal, it's your fault! She is getting too bold. Even slamming doors on our faces. You are giving too much free reign to your granddaughter. "

Robert Marcin mercilessly blamed his best friend for her faults.

Adrenal sighed as he finally lifted bishop and placed it on the white tile,

"She is an adult now. I can't interfere with her. Moreover, she has achieved many things at her age. We are not even qualified to comment about her.

Remember, we were still remembering the old school spells when we were her age. And here she had earned her title in the magic world, all by herself."

"But Everyone is after him to kill him. If we got our hands on him, it would be best ….."

"Leave it, Robert, If she said he is a normal person then why?"

The lady quietly moved her knight to eliminate the castle of the white side. She interjected at the exact moment,

"All is good, but do you guys seriously believe that Alex Trudger will leave his child defenseless."

She was the one higher Conjurer of this group. Her wits and power had earned her this place, along with being the wife of Robert Marcin.

Suddenly there was pin-drop silence in the room after her comment. She then continued, after seeing both men paying attention to her,

"Alex was one hell of a Sorcerer. How could we think he left his only child without any plans?

Right now there is the hype about killing him but slowly as people will realize the situation. I think there will be more hands to save and recruit him than to kill him. "

"So what should we do?..."

"Wait! Let someone make the first move. I think the person or entity behind this sudden reveal of Orion to the world is also bidding for its time. "

***********************

Orion found himself sitting at the center of the Pentagram symbol. Sitting at such close proximity, he observed that the runes used for making this symbol were written in blood.

He felt the unique buzz of energy accumulating around his body which could be felt by him even by paying the least attention.

"To connect to real Deity there are several methods in various civilizations. Sacrifice, rituals, manslaughter, dreamscape, ancient spells, dance, shamans, etc.

We can use whatever methods, by using some real artifacts or mana behind that ceremony to trigger a corresponding connection with that particular God or Demons.

But for easier or we could say multi-purpose connections, this blood rune pentagram is the most commonly used method. The blood of Conjurer or magic creature channels enough energy through this universal symbol of magic which could connect to different planes of different pantheons to connect with them. "

Orion raised his hand to ask something,

"Ah, I wanted…"

Asahi cut off his sentence in middle,

"I know what you want to ask? Everyone interested in magic asks this question sometimes. But you are faster than all,

You wanted to ask how we will know which deity is willing?

I can give you a simple example to help you understand. It's like a consumer shop.

If you are a believer of a certain religion, then it becomes very easy for the God of your religion to connect with you. Thus, giving you a more powerful and easily available contract because you are a regular customer. But downside is

You will be intimately connected and tied to that God for the rest of your life.

Cross religion contracts also take place, but those are a little less common. As once you believe in a certain deity, without his approval other gods can't forge a contract with you.

On the other hand, if you are an atheist, then it is like window shopping. You are a free customer. You can connect to any good of your choice without any deeper obligations than fulfilling your contract with that God. But here downside is no God will willingly hand over a powerful contract to fence sitter Customers, but you get free will. So it is a win-win for you."

Asahi looked at Orion to see his expression that he understood. He was proud of this analogy which works every time in teaching new magic users.

Orion's face was a mix of embarrassment and little guilt. He had actually not wanted to ask this question at all. But to not prove himself foolish in front of Mr.Tachibana he acted like he was perfectly satisfied with his explanation.

"I want to ask, is it safe?"

This was the real question Orion was meaning to ask, so to stop Asahi from further explaining the current topic he quickly asked his question.

Asahi lifted his eyebrows in appreciation,

"Yes and No. If you are fine by all means without any enormously hateful emotion towards a particular deity then a simple connection with them would be perfectly safe as in most cases.

But if the corresponding deity has for some reason had some hate relation with you, or he concludes that you are insulting him, he can blast you off from his plane.

Or one exception is that you catch that particular God in a very very bad mood, that he unreasonably blasts you off. "

Listening to the last sentence, question marks appeared on the face of Orion,

Asahi spread his hands in a surrendering gesture,

"It is rare but not entirely impossible. For this, you must have very bad luck.

What can we do? Gods are unreasonable many times."

Then after listening to the complete procedure of the ceremony from Asahi, Orion was finally ready to begin this procedure. He was hopeful about what his destiny had in store for him as he was standing at the crossroads of his life.

He closed his eyes and felt some unseen forces increasing in the ancient chamber. It was Asahi initiating the ritual by powering the runic Pentagram through his energy.

Soon the whole blood-red characters on the pentagram begin to lit one by one releasing the force of magic contained in it. The whole pentagram soon began to blaze in purple fire indicating the opening of Earth's Gate to all planes.
