she came by and waved gently, she look worried
smiles reassuringly "Fear not, my love. Tonight, we shall defy the curse that binds us." continues drawing symbols with precision

pauses drawing, glancing at Polenti "Wait, my love! You must stay. This ritual requires your presence.
Why? what’s wrong? She came back worried
stands up abruptly, grabbing Polenti's hand "There is a darkness growing within me, my love.
do you mean like the watermelon seed cookie cutters?
No, my love. It is something far more sinister. his eyes flicker with a dark energy
ugh…like that thing my mom left in the middle of the night?she called her mom by calling her demon mother even though her mom wasn’t a demon but Polenti thought she was
grips Polenti's shoulders firmly "No, my love. This darkness is unlike anything we have faced before.
oh. her wolf ears twitched and she just sat down. coughing coughing a lot. she hacked up a lung
leans closer to Polenti, speaking softly "My love, it seems the ritual has taken a toll on your health. We must find another way to break the curse.
I’m fine. just allergies.
places a gentle hand on Polenti's cheek "No, my love. Your health is of utmost importance. We cannot proceed with the ritual.
why? it’ll work perfectly!

opens the ancient tome, flipping through the pages "But, my love, the spell comes with a steep price. Are you willing to pay it?"

closes the ancient tome and locks eyes with Polenti "Very well, my love.
grabs Polenti's hand and leads her deeper into the grove "Now, my love, we must gather the necessary ingredients for the spell.

pauses, looking around the grove "First, we need a rare moonstone.
hmmm..where can we find one?
raises his hand, conjuring a magical map "Do not worry, my love. With my abilities, finding the moonstone will be effortless.
