Round 2

As Jeane's voice resonated throughout the church, her slender fingers traced intricate patterns in the air, Silra watched with a keen eye, her teal gaze flicking between the women as they absorbed the sorceress's words. The ritual space felt secure, yet Silra's rogue instincts wouldn't let up, her mind already assessing potential breaches and escape routes. Halie positioned herself as protector, Hera and Abby found comfort together, and Jeane took center stage with practiced charisma.

The air vibrated with tension as the women began to move closer, their bodies swaying in unison like a chorus of synchronized dancers. Silra's smirk deepened as she realized this was more about power than sisterly love, her own motives simple: enjoy the experience, but maintain situational awareness. Hera and Abby seemed drawn to each other like two halves of a whole, their hands intertwined with unspoken understanding.

As the ritual progressed, Halie's expression remained steadfast, a mask of calm that belied the fervor burning within. Jeane's crimson eyes burned with focused anticipation, her body thrumming with the power of the ritual. The candles flickered, casting dancing shadows on the walls, and for a moment, the women were lost in their own little world, far removed from the chaos of the city outside.
