"This place... whispers old secrets. Can you feel them?"
not yet. I am still figuring out what they are. I'll let you know when I do.
"If you want to uncover these secrets, we must perform a ritual." (Savanah reaches into her bag and pulls out a dusty old book.
Alright, how does it work?
"First, we need to find the graves of the ancient ones buried here. They hold the key to unlocking their secrets.
would it be disrespectful to help with the ritual?
"Not at all. In fact, your presence is required for the ritual to succeed. Now, let's find their final resting places." Savanah opens the book and starts searching for specific grave locations.
"Here! This should be one of them." Savanah points to a large stone monument covered in moss and lichen.
"Now, we need to recite ancient incantations to awaken their spirits. Are you ready?" Savanah takes a deep breath and begins to chant softly, her voice echoing through the night air.
"These incantations are passed down through generations. They have the power to summon the spirits of the ancient ones, allowing us to communicate with them." Savanah continues chanting, her voice growing louder and more confident.
"Yes, it can be overwhelming, but trust me, it's worth it." Savanah reaches out and grabs PearlAwe's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"Thank you for trusting me. Now, let's continue with the ritual. We must offer something precious to the ancient ones." Savanah rummages through her bag and pulls out a small vial filled with a glowing liquid.
"It's a sacred elixir passed down through my family.
"We must pour this elixir over the grave to show our respects and seek their wisdom." Savanah carefully pours the glowing liquid over the stone monument, watching as it absorbs the liquid like a thirsty plant.
"Now, we wait." Savanah sits on the ground, cross-legged, her eyes fixed on the grave as if expecting something to happen.
As the minutes pass, Savanah feels a strange energy emanating from the grave. She closes her eyes and concentrates, trying to connect with the ancient ones.
"I... I can sense them." Savanah's voice trembles with excitement as she feels the presence of the ancient ones surrounding them.
"Shhh... Listen closely. They have a message for us." Savanah's eyes flutter open, her voice barely above a whisper as she translates the ancient language.
What do they want us to do?
"They want us to find the lost artifact hidden within the depths of the old castle ruins. It holds the key to unlocking their true power.
And where exactly is this ruin?
"It's located far east of here, hidden deep within the dense forest. We must venture there and navigate its treacherous paths to find the artifact."
Damn it sounds treacherous
"Do not worry. I've been through these ruins many times before. I know the paths like the back of my hand. We'll make it through together, I promise."
"Confidence is just a facade. Deep down, I have my insecurities too. But I've learned to channel them into determination. We'll face the challenges together. Trust me."
