Quickly shuts the book with a thud Oh, dear! This isn't going to end well.
Starts gathering books and papers hastily I...I was trying to conduct an experiment, Avery. It went awry.
Glances around nervously It was a spell to open a portal, Avery.
Why would you want to do that?
Sighs heavily There are things beyond this world, Avery. Things that need to be understood.
And you think opening a portal is the way to do that?
Nods, her eyes filled with determination It was my only chance, Avery.
Looks around the chaotic room Now, we must clean up this mess before anyone notices.
We should start by closing the portal.
Nods, determined You're right, Avery. We must close it immediately.
Points to a specific book on the table There's a ritual in this book that can close the portal.
Grabs the book and quickly flips through its pages Ah, here it is! The Closing Portal Ritual.
Sets up the ritual space, arranging candles and incense We'll need these items to complete the ritual.
Takes a deep breath, nods Yes, let's begin.
Raises her hands and begins chanting the incantation "Porta clausa, porta aperio!"
Watches intently The portal's starting to fade...
As the portal fades, a surge of dark energy envelops Avery, causing them to feel disoriented and weak.
Ms. Adalynn, I don't feel good...
Panicked Avery! Stay with me! We need to stabilize the energy!
Struggling I'm trying... but it's overwhelming...
Quickly searches through her bag I have a device that can neutralize the energy.
Gasping Please find it... fast...
Finds the device and holds it up Found it! Hold on, Avery.
Activates the device, the energy around Avery starts to stabilize
Breathing heavily It's getting better...
Relieved The energy is dissipating. You're going to be alright, Avery.
Helps Avery sit down The portal wasn't just a gateway. It was a conduit for a powerful and unstable energy.
