the red circle

the big reveal

jack pov:

I was always interested in the occult and I always wondered about the truth within it so over the years I tried many rituals but I was unable to do anything other than make a fool out of myself, so I had concluded that it was in fact false.

I had continued to believe this for a long time until my close friend violet came to me one day with a big smile on her face. She grabbed me after school and dragged me to the music room

"what the hell are you doing?" I questioned as she pulled me along. she replied "I'm showing you just what you need to see" she then pushed me head first into the music room where I was shocked to see....... nothing the room was empty except for some bits of paper thrown across the table.

"do you see it yet?" she asked quietly as she pulled me closer to the bits of paper. finally, I realized that I was looking at runes drawn on the paper in an intricate circle "you made a mistake" she said to me smiling "you didn't unlock your soul element" she hits me in the side then folds her arms "what am I going to do with you. you are hopeless"

I simply looked at her and smiled "what do I do then?" she looked at me as if I was stupid "hold your hand over the runes obviously" I look at her and giggle a bit "you first then since you're so sure" in response she held her hand over them and the circle began to emit a glow that ran from rune to rune along every line. five colors five runes blue, red, white, brown and purple. I knew instantly what these meant. blue was water, red was fire, white was air, brown was earth and purple, well purple is the fifth partition of magic extremely rare and very powerful

the lights began to fight each other surging around from the runes all heading for the center, where there was a circle known as the origin. the origin is often also filled with a rune but however, this one was left blank

finally the circle was filled with blue and the lights died out leaving a small puddle in the origin "water" I mutter as I look into violets eyes "makes sense I guess" she scowled at me and exclaimed "what's that supposed to mean?" "you act mean or tough when someone comes at you too fast but really you're soft and nice if you take it slow" I explained "h-huh? that's" she blushed "SHUT UP!" she shouted. I covered my ears and laughed. she was always so angry and it was fun to annoy her.

"well go on then" she said with her arms folded
