When the doctor came in, he had some blood bags and needles in a satchel. The five of them sat down as the doctor set up. None of them were scared of getting shots so they were fine. After half an hour, they had filled up the bags with their blood. I had a list of other ingredients that I needed. Erik said "We have a cauldron that was passed down to us. I can get it for you." He got up and brought it to me 5 minutes later. The large cauldron would be essential for the making of the seal. I split the list of the ingredients up and gave it to all of them. They went out and got the things that were needed. It took a couple of days to get everything. When everything was done, I was able to put everything in the cauldron. I asked Erik to use his fire Qi to start the cauldron. Once it was done, I had him focus and maintain the fire. This clone only had Water Qi. I stirred up the pot as it reduced down. It took a few hours and I was looking at Erik. He was covered in a cold sweat and he was straining himself. Luckily for all of us, the large cauldron was able to contain everything and the contents finished cooking.
The contents became a multicolored poison that deserved the name "Regal Rainbow Poison Seal". One of the parts of the ritual was using a seal made of oak wood. He almost fainted and I helped him lean back. Erik was still a healthy young man and was up a couple minutes later. The seal was carved by the shop owner to have a heart when pressed against something. I took the seal and asked them to show me their feet. They did and all of them were stamped on their left foot. "Remember what this seal does for you. You will be unable to use magic or transform using your Qi. The seal is using it to form the Golden Core. You will know when it is over when it fades off of your feet." I told them. Dimitri looked at the bodysuit of ooze and said "The suits you gave us will still work, right?" he asked. I nodded and said "I learned all the spells that I know and can cast them if I have the Qi to do it. You can then cast them through me." That made them nod. I put the seal in its container and put the rest of the poison in a flask. I was going to take it back to the lair to apply it to all the best of my clones.
I put the container and flask in my ooze. I then called for a group hug. They looked at me for a moment and pretended to not hear me. "Are you going to group hug or are we going to have to hug one on one?" They still did not go for it. "That's kinda gay though. Guys don't need to do all of that crap." Sergei said to me. Everyone seemed to agree with the sentiment. I just rolled my eyes and said "Alright. I'm coming for you." I made sure to go to Sergei and spread my arms. He backed up from me. I caught him anyway in a very tight embrace. There was no way for him to get out. He groaned as I purposely nuzzled against him. "Okay! You made your fucking point. Get off of me!" he said. I could see him blush lightly as he looked away. He had stopped trying to move as he knew it was impossible to break out. When I let him go, I asked them all again. Zane and Jacob hugged me together and it was brief. It made Sergei pissed. I looked at Erik and Dimitri. They shared a look and groaned as they brought their arms around me. I hugged them a bit longer. "Are you fucking serious!?" Sergei demanded of me
