Justin was drawing his circle.
"My beloved, you have chosen me. You have been courted by my adversary, and you have chosen me. You have answered my call to the Circle, and today I call you my bride."
"Suzan, Johan. Jamous, Mikil." Tears ran freely down his face. "My, what a good thing we have done here. Don't let them forget my love, or the price i paid for their love." Justin said.
