It was time again, time once more for more magic, and while it wasn't the node she had been hoping she could make this year, it was, nonetheless, a node, and she was happy enough with that at this point. Jack looked up the stairs with a little sigh. For most people, this was an awe inspiring journey, one to look inside of themselves and wonder if this was truly for them. She, however, knew it was for her, and she had no hesitation as she put her foot on the first step and began to ascend. She wondered what her mother would think of her at this point, if she had still been alive that is, and she hoped that there would have been a spot of pride in her mother's eyes and voice as she walked up the stairs, one hand running over the carvings next to the uneven steps. 1/5

The items in her pouch got heavier as she went up the stairs, and the woman hoped they wouldn't rip out of her pouch and make her nodes scatter to the ends of the earth. Frowning, she didn't know what to expect, she had done this many times so far, and that was fine for her and all that, but that didn't mean much at the moment. Everything would be alright she knew, and the node would be successful, she just had to believe it would be so. She had done this so many times it was hard to forget some of it, she knew, and the woman sighed a little, hoping she would get it right again at the beginning, middle, and end. Jack shook her head, and hoped that everything would work out the way she wanted to at the same time. It would be for the best if she got it right though.

Jack reached the top of the steps and knelt down in front of the altar as she reached for the dirty dagger. It was definitely something she wished they would clean off eventually, but it would be fine at the same time. She would just make sure they were good after she did it at this point, she knew. Getting a good antibacterial and some disinfectant would kill just about everything at this point, and that was good as well. Jack slit her arm open and hovered it above the ingredients to the node. There were several items there, and that was just how it was supposed to be at that point. Hmm, that was interesting, and she reached in and popped the healing berries into her mouth, chewing them as she dropped a bit of blood over the pieces of the node, one by one as she thought about it.

There was a round mind crystal, pink and spherical, it threatened to roll off of the altar when the blood dripped onto it, but she caught it with her other hand and pushed it back into a little dip in the altar top. Smiling, she moved on to the first of the remnant crystals, then the second, and finally the third. There wasn't much left to do now, except to share a piece of her soul, and that was certainly fine. Things would work out between them as time went on and all that. Smiling, she hoped that she would figure things out as it was at this point, and hopefully the node would be successful. There was a lot of hope in her at this point, but there wasn't much she could do about it, save for make sure that things went her way. What could there be right now anyway?
4/5

Jack could feel a tingle once the berry was eaten and the items all had blood on them. It was a small tingle, then a tug, and then it felt as though fingers dug into her very soul to tear a chunk out. She felt herself laugh a little, it was pain, but it was ecstasy at the same time, since she knew what there was at the end of it all. Jack smiled a little and closed her eyes as she knelt there, tilting her head back to give herself to the pain for the briefest moment in time. It was short, but also a lifetime, and the woman was pleased with herself as she dropped to the ground, laying there for a little while, wondering what to do now. All she knew was that Renathan might be mad at her for this, but wouldn't know what to do at the moment, they could deal with things.
