Kai walked through the halls of his old home with an air of melancholy around him. And he didn't know why.

What did he miss?

He didn't think there was anything, but at the same time, he did.

Was it the few times his father actually acted like he was his son?

Or the times he spent with his siblings without his father watching? Or was he missing what could have been?

The life he missed out on.

He shook his head trying to clear away the depressing thoughts. His hands trailed the walls, feeling the magic beneath his fingertips.

There had been a time where there had been no cloaking spell around the house. This particular spell allowed only those of the Gemini bloodline to see past it.

He wondered why it was put up?

He would have remembered if it had been there before because he would have been siphoning it constantly when he was younger.

There was a stutter in his step. Was that the reason?

Was the cloaking spell taken down when it was realized that he was a siphoner? If so, dick move dad.

Kai walked to his dad's study and entered slowly, taking in the worn books that sat atop the bookshelves and the papers that lay forgotten on the old wooden desk he always saw his father sitting at.

Kai could perfectly picture his dad sitting in his large leather chair reading some type of important paper that probably had to do with the coven.

Kai shook away the memories.

He needed to do what he was here for.

He pulled the necklaces he bought back when he was still in Virginia.

He placed them on the desk and began looking around for his dear father's most important grimoire.

He approached the bookshelf and began running his hands along the spines of the books, sensing for magic.

When he got near the middle, he sensed something and stopped.

He started siphoning the book and the illusion surrounding the book disappeared, revealing the grimoire.

He pulled it out and began flipping through it.

He walked back towards the desk and set the book down next to the necklaces.

He flipped back through the pages, searching for something in particular.

Kai stopped flipping as he found what he was looking for.

It was a spell to enchant an object - preferably jewelry of some kind - and it gave the wearer protection of extreme magnitudes.

It was a Gemini special that was kept very hidden from other covens.

It also was able to regenerate as long as a sliver of the magic was still there.

Perfect for baby siphoners.

Although Kai was going to wait until the twins were trained enough so that they didn't accidentally siphon the entire spell.

But once they were, he would give them the necklaces, which would give them a good amount of protection and give them a source of magic they could always siphon from.

Kai swept down the page, reading the information.

Praesidium Spell-

Created by Markus Parker (Coven Leader;1842-1868)

Give very powerful protection to the wearer of the object enchanted with this spell.

The spell has the capability to react on its own without a prompt from the wearer.

Ability: Can forcibly cloak wearer if they are in danger; Can protect against elemental spells; Allows caster to be connected to the wearer (Tracking device); Can protect against mental attacks and physical attacks (Creates mental and physical barrier); Depending on power used for the spell - Can possibly use it's own power to launch a defensive attack on the attacker; Can rejuvenate magic

Weaknesses: If taken off it is incapable of working; Attacker with more power than spell was originally cast with can overpower it leading to it being disabled; Will only be able to launch a defensive attack if the spell was cast with immense power and if the wearer is in mortal danger

Kai considered the information and set to work. It wasn't long before he had the ritual prepared.

Everything was in order from what he could tell. He had a larger bowl than typically needed so he could do both of the necklaces at once.

And Kai had known that he would need a drop of blood from each of the twins, so he had gotten it early after they had eaten.

Thankfully they didn't freak out about him having to prick their fingers.

Kai looked back over everything and kneeled by the bowl. He looked at the candles and blinked, causing them to light.

He looked back at the bowl and placed the necklace in, separating them slightly.

He then grabbed the tiny containers he had put the twins' blood in and poured Lizzie's one over the right necklace then did the same to the left with Josie's blood.

"Praesidia obicere haeream"

Then he grabbed the bowl of camphor and sprinkled it over the necklaces.

"Decretorium custodire"

The candles flared slightly after he did that.

He then grabbed the dagger and pressed it into his palm. However, he didn't release it, once the blade sunk in deep enough. Instead, he held on to it, so that the cut wouldn't heal.

"Quod regeneret"

Kai allowed the blood to drip down his hand onto each of the necklaces.

"Praesidia obicere haeream"

Then he put the dagger down, wiping his hand on his jeans.

He reached for the sandalwood and tossed some into the bowl.

"Decretorium custodire"

The wind picked up around him and Kai could feel the pressure building behind his eyes.

He grabbed the rose next and allowed it to fall into the bowl.

"Quod regeneret"

Kai could feel his magic start to drain as he focused on the necklaces.

"Praesidia obicere haeream"

The hairs on the back of Kai's neck rose in response to the magic that was filling the air, funneling into the necklaces.

"Decretorium custodire"

Kai felt something wet drip down from his nose. He continued the spell ignoring his headache that worsened the higher the flames of the candles went.

"Quod regeneret"

"Praesidia obicere haeream, Decretorium custodire, Quod regeneret" Kai chanted for the last time and everything inside the bowl caught aflame.

The candles went out and the wind settled.

Kai looked down at the bowl as the flames slowly dispersed. All that remained were the necklaces that were now radiating magic.

The spell worked.
