With the runes in place, the ritual is ready. Acro emerges from the rift with astral energy pouring from his body and Ember by his side. He quickly urges everyone to back off of the rift as a massive astral beast exits the rift. The beast looked like a cross between a wolf and a man. It roared in rage as it entered the realm. Acro reached down and picked Ember up. The little fox climbed onto his shoulders and Acro's aura grew brighter. Acro raised his palms to the beast and let loose a torrent of astral energy. The torrent engulfed the dark beast but Acro did not stop until the beast was gone. As Acro landed back on the ground his bright aura faded into it's normal hue and Ember was nowhere to be seen. Acro spoke one sentence to the people around the rift "Once Ember can rematerialize in the physical realm, the final push will start."
