## *"How did I end up in this situation?"* Undoubtedly, that question has ever crossed our minds when we are in trouble, but I never thought I would have to do it surrounded by very rare "people", in an unknown ruin, in the middle of the night and completely alone, afraid to move so they wouldn't discover me. ![ScreenShot_20200225184842.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/pedrobrito2004/nmMghKEa-ScreenShot_20200225184842.png) [Source of image](https://www.shutterstock.com/es/image-illustration/fantasy-scenery-ruins-trees-magic-portal-607926506) Well, at least I'm hugging this branch and these people don't seem to pay attention to this tree, after all, it's not the only tree in this ruin. there are four groups, each one in a different direction, suddenly symbols appeared that I could understand as indications of the cardinal points where they were located, instantly began a soft singing one group after another ... THIS (AIR STANDARD): I invoke your gentle winds and purifiers to fill this Castle. It brings security, protection and love. May the warm winds of Heaven blow gently in this House. Ho! East Spirit, kingdom of the winds of time, Door of the element Air and kingdom of the mind, Enter our circle and teach us, Enter our circle so we can be free. SOUTH: (WATER STANDARD): I invoke your essence of purification and health to fill this Castle. I thank you for your guidance and help. It brings security, protection and love. May the soft rains of Heaven cleanse and heal all those who are in this House. Ho! Spirit of the South, kingdom of feelings, Door of the element Water, sacred and healing, Enter our circle and open my heart, Enter our circle so we can be free. WEST: (STANDARD FROM FIRE): I invoke your transforming heat to fill this Castle. It brings security, protection and love. May the heat of the Sun fill with Light and love to all who enter this House. Ho! Spirit of the West, realm of radiant Light, Door of the element fire, transformer and bright, Enter our circle and transform us, Enter our circle so we can be free. NORTH: (STANDARD FROM THE EARTH): I invoke your great strength to fill this Castle. It brings security, protection and love. May the stability and strength of the Earth fill all those who enter this House Ho! Spirit of the North, kingdom of the ancient and wise Mother Earth, Door of the element earth, death and rebirth, Enter our circle and give us strength, Enter our circle so we can be free. *This gives me the chill ...* All the people advanced towards the center and while they walked and sang it became more evident that they were not human ... I don't know what they are, but their skins and that they had more than two pairs of eyes already scared me enough ... At first I did not see them well and they were covered with rare clothes, but something already gave me the impression that we were not of the same species. The singing was done all together this time, as they moved slowly ... CENTER: (UNION STANDARD) Go through time and space from the four quadrants of the Universe; God, I request your purifying help and your harmonic energies in this House. Ho! May the Spirit of the Creator come to us, bringing blessings and peace. We ask that this Home be a sanctuary for all who enter and for all who live in it, find peace and prosperity in their hearts May the Spirit of the Air flood this house so that our thoughts are pure. May the Spirit of Water flood this house so that our emotions are balanced. May the Spirit of Fire flood this house so that its intensity and action is always among us. May the Spirit of the Earth flood this house so that our bodies are strong and maintain harmony with the environment ... Hey ya Hey ya Hey ya Ho! Hey ya Hey ya Hey ya Ho! *If "they" get closer they may see me!* Fear was growing more and more, I tried with all my might not to scream and even breathe more calmly, but I could already feel the throbbing and blood in my veins and sweat threatened to fall into waterfalls. They approached and the center of the ruin released a luminous fog, but before they reached it, that fog rose to where I was hiding and surrounded my body, everyone turned to see me. *I'm lost! They're going to kill me!* With fright I let go of the branch and began to fall ... just to wake up in my bed bathed in sweat by a very strange nightmare. I got up to drink something and try to calm down to go back to sleep, tomorrow I have to go to work and I must rest. *What a realistic nightmare.* Far beyond the known stars a congregation was still watching the air where a stranger had vanished, its appearance shocked the ritual a bit. The leaders looked at each other and shared their thoughts again, this race did not need to speak by waves coming out of their mouths, could directly convey the sense of what they thought generating a field of communication with their spirit. ***That ugly and weird thing interrupted the ritual, rather, the essence chose it ... it might be the tree or the same essence that brought it here, after all you can't steal a blessing, so we must consider that it is fate thing and that belonged to him*** They retreated to their original positions. ***We will have to start over, it is good that this ritual does not require further preparations, that strange thing can consider this as our gift, hopefully it will be useful.*** --- 20% of this Post is intended to support @project.hope - [Project #HOPE Community ](https://steempeak.com/c/hive-175254/created) [![logo _20191218003205.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/pedrobrito2004/Svg317Uq-logo20_20191218003205.png)](https://steempeak.com/c/hive-175254/created) [Project HOPE community](https://steempeak.com/c/hive-175254/created) --- [![](https://www.projecthope.pl/files/dynamicContent/sites/w5qujb/images/pl/layout_1/k1v8mpnt/element_150/logo-mini2.png)](https://www.projecthope.pl/) [Project #HOPE Website](https://www.projecthope.pl/) ---
