"Let's begin the second ritual..." Karl announced, walking quickly towards Ruby. He picked up a bag resting near the door, pulling out several long, thick red candles.

One by one, he placed the candles near the door, positioning them carefully as everyone watched with anticipation.

"This one is the protection candle, then the warmth and health candles, followed by clarity, peace, wealth, dreams, wisdom, and patience," Karl murmured, placing each one in order.

Adrian quietly stepped up behind Ruby and handed her a box of matches. She glanced back at him, then turned to Angeline, who gave her an encouraging nod.

"Ru! Quickly light them," Angeline urged gently.

Ruby nodded and squatted down on the ground, striking a match and bringing it to the first candle. She watched the flame catch, casting an Golden glow that flickered in the dim light. Moving with careful focus, she lit each candle one by one, feeling the of everyone's gaze on her.
