Emma Millstein: whispers Do you think it’s behind this wall? The carvings look... different.
leans in closer, examining the carvings They’re ancient runes, Ems. This wall might be older than we ever imagined.
points at the carvings Look here, these runes... they tell a story, a tale of an ancient civilization. excitedly We have to decipher them!
squints at the carvings Yeah, but what's the meaning behind 'Emergence'? Could it be something important?
paces back and forth, deep in thought Emergence... It could mean a lot of things. snaps fingers We need a plan. First, we should search for any clues that might give us more insight.
looks around the ruins There should be more than just the wall, right? Let's scout the area.
pulls out a notebook and pen Okay, let's split up and cover more ground. I'll take the eastern section, you take the western. We'll meet back here in an hour to compare notes. hands elbowmuse a map Here, this should help you navigate.
grabs the map Got it. Good luck, Ems. starts walking towards the west
quickly rummages through her backpack and pulls out a small camera Oh, don't forget to capture any potential evidence!
smirks Always one step ahead, aren't ya? Alright, I'm on it. heads into the western section
takes a deep breath and starts scanning the eastern section with keen eyes Alright, let's see what we can find here.
finds an old scroll Whoa, look at this! A scroll... might have some answers.
hurries over to where elbowmuse found the scroll Let me see that! carefully unrolls the scroll and examines its contents
curious What does it say, Ems?
translating the scroll, whispers It's a prophecy... a prophecy that speaks of a great emergence. pauses, looks at elbowmuse
intrigued A prophecy? About what?
voice trembling with anticipation It's a prophecy about a powerful being, a guardian who will emerge to protect our world from an ancient threat.
surprised A guardian? That's... incredible.
As Emma and Elbowmuse continue to explore the ruins, they inadvertently awaken a dormant entity trapped within the walls. The entity, an ancient guardian of the ruins, senses their presence and begins to stir, seeking to claim its freedom and exact vengeance on those who disturbed it.
alarmed Shit, Ems! We've triggered something. Get ready!
grabs her wand and points it towards the rumbling wall Hold on! I'll try to contain it with a containment spell. starts chanting
brandishes a dagger containment spell won't be enough, Ems. We need a bloody counter curse!
frantically searching through her bag Quick, Elbowmuse! We need to find the counter-curse scroll! It's our only chance!
frustrated Dammit, Emma! Where is it?!
opens her bag, rummaging through its contents Elbowmuse, it's... it's not here! pats down her pockets
panicking Fuck, fuck, fuck! No time for this shit, Emma!
quickly scans the area, spots a small chest nearby Wait, there's a chest over there! Maybe it holds the key to the counter-curse!
slams hand onto the chest Open it, Emma! Hurry!
swiftly opens the chest, finds a rolled-up parchment inside Found it! unrolls the parchment and reads the instructions
impatiently Well, what does it say, Emma? Spill it out already!
summonses a small cauldron and pours the contents of the scroll into it This counter-curse should neutralize the entity we unleashed!
eagerly Hurry the fuck up, Emma! Time's running out!
focuses intently, chanting the counter-curse By the power vested in me, I command thee to return to thy slumber!
watches the walls, tense It's... working! The rumbling's slowing down, Ems!
relieved, sighs Thank goodness. turns to elbowmuse We did it, Elbowmuse! The entity is back in its slumber.
clutches chest, gasping Whew... Fuck, that was close. chuckles nervously Damn, Emma, you're full of surprises.
smiles with pride We make a pretty good team, don't we, Elbowmuse? starts packing up their belongings
