No worries. This is almost done anyways.^^

The sensation of summoning was nothing Sheena would ever be able to properly describe to another that had never experienced something so grand, so powerful, so very much a part of her. It wasn't like metaphorically reaching a hand out to something greater than you and pulling them to help you. No, it was like the junction of two streams of mana, connected always and yet still separate, twisting about each other to reach a certain synchronization. For a small moment, it was like summoner and summoned where one in the same. In any other instance, two beings cannot occupy the same space, but that was contradicted metaphysically when the pact is used. Individually, both Sheena and Yukari were strong in their own right, but together they were powerful.

Feeling that connection, that oneness, the swirling mana about Sheena flattened and then spread out across the majority of the floor in the small room they were to form the specific glyph that signified summoning magic.

Opening her eyes as she spoke the final phrase of the incantation, the pale light did suddenly reverted and turned a deep, dark blackness. She had been expecting the see the youkai's summoning glyph to be a shade of purple, but not this. This wasn't black, this was an absence of light, such a contrast to what it had been before, visible even in the already darkened room.

"I summon thee." And then withing the utter blackness, the emptiness of the glyph itself, pulsed red, baleful eyes. If Sheena wasn't as disciplined as she was, she might have lost the summon right then. Those eyes, the glyph... it was just like one of Yukari's gaps. It had been a long time since the youkai's gaps creeped her out, but this summon, this glyph did. But she pushed past that. She was a summoner.

"Come, Yukari!"
