The Candle Mass: Come Closer

The shape began to grow and its wings became more clear which it held high above its head, raising them up to the sky as if it wanted to grab mount Namine in its grip; and its face – like a skull – was pale and had glowing red flames in the middle of the eye sockets. It floated above the candles and seemed to be transforming with every second.

When Moondust saw what was happening, she realized that Gereon had lit an enchanted candle of necromancy. And Rogue began to whine nervously. Gereon watched the shape transform and then he disappeared into the thicker trees. Then the shape transformed again, and this time Moondust realized Gereon had summoned the spirit of her Grandfather.
The spirit of Roln was clearly visible now. They had all been mesmerized while his shape was transforming.
“Grandfather?â€? said Moondust softly and with tears in her eyes.
But instead of answering him Roln moved his hand over the lit candles and their flames grew brighter. Roln motioned for her to come closer.
