The floral scent of the herb smoke fills the air, and the forest around Cecilia and Marya falls eerily silent.
Cecilia takes a deep breath and starts chanting the words of the ritual.
"Nythera phaneros, elysiar en Lythaen.
aelys-nyth, velion seiryn, thēros alun.
Khelen phoros, kyrien en elendar,
mirion ephemar, seiryn anthea.
Lythaen-aelys, velion-nyth,
phorion aelys, phaneros en thēros.
Ephemerys-velion, chros en lythaen,
kythera en nythea, phor-ael en cycle.
Anthyra velion, nythea phoros."
("Gate of Death revealed, rest within the Fading.
Wing-Death, behind the veil, mercy sings.
Path of light, divine return,
Myriad souls awaken in song.
The winged passing, shroud of death,
Journey of rebirth, light at the end.
Veil of Ephemerys, coloured in fading,
Bridge to death, soul journey through the cycle.
Veil of Rebirth, Path of Death.")
