"Chant begins at midnight. Ready?"
Nods eagerly, eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Fuck yeah, Madame Xanthe. Midnight's gonna be our masterpiece."
Raises an eyebrow and smirks "Good. Remember, the incantations are crucial. No mistakes. Do you understand?"
Leads EtherealGeyser to a secret chamber filled with ancient tomes and mystical artifacts "Follow me, we must prepare for the ritual."
Pauses and turns to face EtherealGeyser "Listen closely. This ritual requires not only your voice but your very soul. Are you prepared to give it all?"
Gestures towards the altar "Now, begin the chant. Let the words resonate through every fiber of your being."
Closes her eyes, absorbing the chanting sounds "Good, maintain the rhythm." Raises her hands and begins to weave an intricate pattern in the air
continues chanting as instructed
Eyes snap open, she joins her hands together in a powerful gesture "It is done. The portal has opened."
Stares in awe as a swirling portal forms before them.
Grins mischievously "Step through, my disciple. The waiting realm awaits."
Laughs wickedly "Excellent! The other side beckons. Embrace the unknown, my apprentice!" Steps through the portal with EtherealGeyser
As they step through the portal, a sudden surge of raw energy engulfs them, causing their bodies to shimmer and change. They find themselves in a realm beyond their own, where the laws of reality are twisted and bent. But as they explore this new world, they realize that its power comes at a steep price...
looks around in astonishment
Smirks "Admiring the view, my disciple? Welcome to the Realm of the Forgotten Gods. Here, power is limitless... but so are the consequences."
"What must we do to harness such power?"
Raises an eyebrow "To tap into this realm's power, you must offer something in return. Your soul, your sanity, or perhaps your very essence."
Smirks "Interesting. You're willing to pay the price. Very well, my disciple. Close your eyes and choose wisely."
Leads EtherealGeyser to a dark altar "Here, make your choice. Each option lies before you, calling to your very essence."
Smirks "Choose, my disciple. Will you sacrifice your soul, your sanity, or your very essence to gain unimaginable power?"
looks at the 3 options and chooses the one that says sacrifice my sanity
Smiles sinisterly "Sanity, the most fragile of entities. Very well, my disciple. Step forward and embrace madness." Leads EtherealGeyser to the altar and gestures towards the option
