Morgan Nightshade: Clutches orb tightly, eyes wide Y-You... you misplaced the r-reagent! We may have d-damned ourselves!
I had no choice, I had to get rid of it!
Snarls Get rid of it? You call your incompetence getting rid of it? Look at what you've done! The consequences...
I'm sorry Morgan! It's just I couldn't get rid of it any other way!
Slams fist on the table Sorry doesn't cut it, Zerenity! Your mistake has set us back months! Do you realize the kind of chaos you've unleashed?
looking down I know, Morgan...I'm really sorry...
Takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, Zerenity, mistakes happen. But we can't let this setback ruin everything we've worked for.
leans in, his eyes intense We need to regroup and come up with a new plan. And we need to do it fast.
swallowing hard Okay...okay, Morgan. I'll do whatever it takes.
paces back and forth, thinking quickly Alright, Zerenity. First, we need to gather the remaining materials we have left.
m-mo-mo-Morgan... s-s-some of t-t-the m-m-matreials... i-i-irr l-l-le-eft o-o-over t-t-there...
nods sharply Over there, in the storage room. Be quick, Zerenity. Every second counts.
she quickly runs to the storage room
follows Zerenity to the storage room, scanning the area Hurry up, Zerenity! Time is of the essence!
As Zerenity gathers the remaining materials, she accidentally drops one of the vials, causing a potent and dangerous energy to spread throughout the room. Exposed to this energy, Zerenity begins to mutate, her body twisting and contorting into something grotesque and unnatural.
eyes widen in horror Zerenity! No, no, no! What have you done?!
panicking I-I...I don't know how it happened, Morgan!
grabs Zerenity's arm and inspects her mutated form This...this isn't supposed to happen! The contamination must have triggered some sort of genetic mutation.
stuttering Mutation? Is it...is it permanent, Morgan?
runs his fingers through his hair, thinking quickly I... I don't know, Zerenity.
We need to contain you, Zerenity. This new form...it's too unpredictable. I'll need to cast a containment spell. Stay close to me.
trembling Okay, Morgan...I trust you.
starts muttering an incantation, forming a magical circle on the floor Stay within the circle, Zerenity. The containment spell should take effect any moment now.
steps into the circle, watching nervously as the magic envelops her
monitors Zerenity's transformation closely, adjusting the containment spell as needed Hold still, Zerenity.
sputtering M-Morgan...it-it feels...so strange...
adjusts the containment spell, speaking in a low tone Just hold on, Zerenity. The spell should help stabilize your transformation.
breathing heavily Okay, Morgan...I'm trying...
runs outside the circle to gather a small vial, filling it with a glowing liquid Hold on, Zerenity. This antidote should counteract the effects of the contamination.
whispering Thank you, Morgan...I hope it works...
returns to Zerenity, holding out the vial Drink this, Zerenity. Trust me, it will help.
takes the vial and drinks the glowing liquid
watches Zerenity intently, hoping the antidote works Hold on, Zerenity. The antidote should start working any moment now.
sputtering M-Morgan...I feel...something...changing...
grabs Zerenity's hand, feeling for any changes The antidote is starting to work, Zerenity. Keep holding on.
whimpering M-Morgan...it hurts...
quickly creates a painkiller potion, handing it to Zerenity Take this, Zerenity. It will help alleviate the pain.
jumps, startled Ouch! gulps down the painkiller Thanks, Morgan...
After several agonizing hours, the antidote finally takes effect, reverting Zerenity's mutations back to her original form. However, the experience leaves her emotionally scarred, leading to intense anxiety around magical energies.
tears streaming down her face Morgan... I can't... I can't do this anymore...
rushes to Zerenity's side, his voice filled with concern Zerenity, hey, look at me! You're safe now. The worst is over.
sobbing I-I can't... I can't go back out there, Morgan...
gently wipes away Zerenity's tears I understand, Zerenity. This experience has taken a heavy toll on you.
i-i can't do magic anymore morgan please
pauses, contemplating Zerenity's plea Zerenity, I know this experience has shaken you to your core, but you can't let fear dictate your future.
