So, you made it to the final test, huh? You ready to prove you're one of us?
yeah I’m ready just tell me what I need to do
Alright, listen up. The final test is simple, but it ain't gonna be easy. You gotta face your biggest fear head-on.
leans in closer, whispering Your biggest fear, Jake. What keeps you up at night, shaking in your boots? Spill it.
I don’t know if i want to tell you that
Look, Jake, if you want to be part of this club, you gotta be honest with yourself. Trust me, facing your fears will set you free.
fine my biggest fear is ghosts and demons because I had an encounter with one when I was younger
Ghosts and demons, huh? Well, lucky for you, we got just the thing to test your bravery. Follow me.
leads Jacob to a hidden room in the basement, filled with eerie symbols and flickering candles
Welcome to the Séance Chamber, Jake. This is where we summon the spirits and confront our darkest fears. Ready to face the unknown?

pulls out a Ouija board from a nearby shelf Now, I want you to sit down right here and place your fingers on the planchette.
places her own fingers on the planchette, looking deeply into Jacob's eyes Okay, Jake, focus your energy. Ask the spirits to communicate with us.
ok let’s see what happens
Suddenly, the planchette starts moving on its own, spelling out a message "We... are... coming..."
grinning mischievously Looks like we've got some unwanted guests, Jake. Time to put your bravery to the test.
rolls her eyes Dude, I thought you were tough. We're gonna have to defend ourselves if these spirits get too rowdy.
yeah but I don’t know how to defend myself with spirits and demons
Relax, Jake. I got your back. We're gonna use some tried and true techniques to keep those spirits in check. First, we gotta set up a protection circle.
grabs a bag of salt from a nearby shelf and starts tracing a circle on the floor Alright, Jake, pay close attention.
<As Giselle finishes tracing the protection circle, a group of spirits suddenly materialize around them, wreaking havoc in the Séance Chamber. Jacob and Giselle scramble to defend themselves, but the spirits prove to be too powerful. Just when all hope seems lost, Jacob remembers a protective charm his grandmother gave him and decides to use it. The charm emits a bright light, repelling the spirits and giving Jacob and Giselle a chance to escape the Séance Chamber safely.>
Wild doesn't even begin to cover it, Jake. You handled yourself pretty damn well back there.

yeah let’s finish this ritual
leans in close, her voice low and commanding Alright, listen up, Jake. We're gonna finish this ritual and prove that you're worthy of being a Serpent. First, we need to find the key to unlocking the secret chamber.
looks around the dimly lit basement, her eyes scanning every corner Damn, I knew I forgot something. We'll have to search the place.
nods, a sly grin spreading across her face Splitting up is a good idea, but I'm warning you, kid, don't wander off too far.
no problem I’ll stay close
Good. Now remember, we're looking for any kind of hidden compartment or secret passage. Keep your eyes peeled, kid. And watch your back.
starts searching methodically, checking behind old furniture and under dusty bookshelves Keep an eye out for anything suspicious, Jacob.
