<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#99ccff">Lucian worked very carefully on the runes of the ritual circle, which had been set up in the middle of the Workroom. He took his time to make sure that every rune was in exactly the right spot and that every line was correct. Even with two random mages he would have done this much, as the magic they were about to attempt were experimental and temperamental. But with the twins...everything had to go right. He didn’t know if he could stand it if his own mistake caused something to happen to one or both of them. It would destroy him, especially with how much they had bonded over the past months. He stepped back and observed his work, triple checking the circle against the diagram in his notes. It was large, about thirty feet across, and he had filled it with everything he could to make this ritual go right. On opposite sides of it, on the east and west sides of the circle, were two smaller circles. The insides of them were empty, but there were runes in the middle parts of the circle to denote passage and travel both way between them. Right after he had finished his last check of the notes the door to the south side of the room opened up and Lucian turned around, a serious expression settling onto his face as he got into work mode.</span>
