When Lucian began to flow his Mana into the ground it seemed to make the process a bit easier. As he began to commune with the wind around him using the Nature's Boon ritual the Crystal in his hand began to glow, seeming to also make the ritual easier for communing with the wind around him, the two extra points he put into the Talent making it a bit easier to use now.

The Crystal seemed to simply help him open a channel of communication with the wind as his Mana flowed through and in the Crystal to the ground. As he began to communicate with the wind a voice could be heard in his mind. It didn't speak with words, but with feelings. With flow, with breath, with spirit. All of this though translated into words that Lucian would be able to understand in his mind with his very being, as if the very wind, the breath of the earth, was communicating with him. 

[i]"You wish for a boon from Nature? From the wind? If it is aid you request, then it shall be granted as the power of your prayers has been heard. A contract shall be formed between you and the wind. The wind shall aid you by protecting you from your enemies until the strength of the boon runs out when the sun and moon dance twice across the sky. ".[/i]

Suddenly Lucian would feel a powerful wind around him, Saito noticing this and watching with curiosity and great interest. The Crystal glowed brightly for a few moments and after that, it was over, the Crystal still being there for some reason, but that was probably because its power only acted as a focus rather than was expended thanks to how well Lucian executed the ritual. Lucian would feel as though the boon would last for 36 hours. The wind settled and while it didn't seem there, Lucian could feel that it was there, surrounding him. After it was over, a window appeared before Lucian, followed by a second one.

Saito was currently looking at Lucian with curiosity. "So.... I take it the ritual worked?"
