Sophia stopped at the edge of the circle and thought a moment about how to how to enter without dropping him.  She lay him down  on the grass and used her bone dagger to cut a door in the energy of the circle.

Sophia lay him down again in the grass on the inside and pointed his head north, setting a piece of rope near him.<br/><br/>Lilliana was nearing her climax and  could feel the end comming.  It made her feel rather empty to know it was almost over.  Although she might have more energy after his powers were taken, if they could be.  If not, then she'd have nothing.<br/><br/>(Do you have an idea for the god/goddess of the underworld or can I make it up?  It'll be part of the ritual.)
