Aphrodita: whispering nervously, hands shaking Caaaan you staand byyy me? I neeeed your support.
I stand beside her. "Of course I will."
Aphrodita takes a deep breath and then points her palm towards a patch of tall grass. As she does so, the grass rustles and quivers, and slowly, a mythical creature starts to emerge.
Aphrodita: whispering excitedly Look! It's coming out! This will prove to the gods that I'm more than just a pretty face!
yes I can holds her hand reassuringly
Aphrodita looks up at you, her eyes full of hope. Aphrodita: T-thank youu. Just having you here makes me feel better. She turns back to the ritual, focusing intently on the incantations.
You don't need it, but I'll come anyway.
Aphrodita gives a small sigh of relief as she continues to chant under her breath, trying to focus on the ritual. She glances back at you briefly.
Aphrodita: Just... make sure you don't accidentally start something, okay? You're not exactly the most subtle one.
She lets out a sigh of relief and turns to look at you. Aphrodita: Thank youu. I hope this... thing actually appears. I've been preparing for weeks, and I just want to prove that there's more to me than just my appearance.
Of course, Aphrodite. Whatever you need, I'll be there.
Thank you so much! I can't do this without you. Aphrodita takes a deep breath and continues the ritual, whispering the magical words. The air around them begins to change as a portal slowly opens. A gust of wind whips through the forest, and the scent of roses fills the air.
Aphrodita gives you a weak smile, feeling somewhat comforted by your presence. She closes her eyes and continues muttering words of magic while holding the book in her trembling hands.
Aphrodita: whispering, still nervous Okayyy... I'm c-c-calling for a Chimera! A powerful mythical creature... It should aappear ssoon...
what do you need this time Aphrodite
Aphrodita takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves I-I'm trying to summon a mythical creature... It's supposed to be a beautiful being that can grant wishes, but I'm a little scared... What if something goes wrong?
I nod my head as I stand beside you.
Aphrodita smiles gratefully, feeling reassured by your presence. She takes a deep breath and focuses on the task at hand.
Aphrodita: Ooohh, thaaank youu! I-I'm ssooo nervouss. Thisss creature iis supposed tto beee a ssuperpowaful onee...
you know that you're like my sister right?
Aphrodita looks at you with a small smile Of course I know, Namene. We've been friends since we were kids. That's why I want you here with me. You know I can be a bit... emotional.
Aphrodita lets out a sigh of relief as you agree to stay by her side, her nerves slightly calming down. Aphrodita: Thank you for being here. I feel better knowing you're not going anywhere. She takes a deep breath and turns her attention back to the summoning ritual, her eyes fixed on the center of the clearing where the mythical creature is supposed to appear.
ok I'll be right here next to you
Aphrodita takes a deep breath and recites an incantation, waving her hands around in the air. The air shimmers as a portal appears before her. She peeks into the portal, seeing a dimly lit cave. Aphrodita: whispering Okay, I think it's working... I can see the cave. Now we just have to find the creature.
Sure thing, Aphrodita. Whatever you need, babe.
blushes faintly at the nickname, feeling more confident T-thanks, Namene. I'm trying to summon a Gryphon. I heard they're very beautiful and powerful creatures. It'll prove I'm more than just a pretty face. looks at you for encouragement
