In the center of the shaded area was a clearing with a pond and a small island in the middle of it. On the island was a shrine of limestone and sapphires covered in moss. A cold wind filled the air. What is that Marco asked bewildered. Grandmother's shrine Gabrielle grinned proudly, it's where mortals back in the day would pray to her, but if the water is mixed with devine and mortal blood It can summon her. Is that why you dragged us out here Marco asked, to sacrifice us. No no I just need some of your blood it grinned and pulled out a switchblade. Josefina snatched the blade from her sibling. I'll do it she said, no offense but I don't trust you with sharp objects. Gabrielle looked annoyed but didn't argue. I'll do it too Carlos offered. But wait, are we sure your blood will work since you're only a demigod Marco asked Josefina as the two knelt by the pond. One way to find out she said taking a deep breath and slicing her palm. Her light blueish blood dripped into the water as she passed the blade to Carlos. He did the same and his red blood mixed and swirled like smoke in the pond. As it did the sapphires embedded in the limestone glowed.
