Aiden Blackwood: gripping your shoulder Remember, 11/08/2021? Need it now. Catastrophe's clock ticking.
What's wrong with you? Why are you acting so strangely?
paces back and forth, running his fingers through his hair It's urgent! We've only got 5 minutes before catastrophe strikes!
snatches CrystalLagoon's phone and quickly unlocks it No time for explanations! We need to find a way out of here, NOW!
Ok. She takes off running
locks CrystalLagoon's arm, pulling her close Look, I know we've had our differences, but we need to stick together if we want to survive this!
Ok, but why are you acting so weird?
grabs CrystalLagoon's shoulders, eyes intense Weird?! This is serious! Trust me, I've seen things you can't even begin to imagine!
She looks at him Ok, I trust you.
pulls CrystalLagoon closer, urgency in his voice Good. Because there's a hidden chamber in these ruins, filled with ancient magic.
whispers urgently Shhh... We need to move quietly. Stay close to me and follow my lead.
pauses, listening intently Wait... did you hear that? There's someone else here, following us.
She looks around curiously
grabs CrystalLagoon's arm tightly, his voice barely above a whisper Stay behind me! We can't trust anyone else in here.
As they venture deeper into the ruins, Aiden and CrystalLagoon encounter a group of malevolent spirits seeking to thwart their escape.
She looks at Aiden Who were those spirits?
grabs a nearby torch, swinging it back and forth Those were vengeful souls trapped within the ruins.
Trapped? In the ruins? Why?
rolls his eyes Seriously? They're spirits, not cats! They don't have earthly reasons for being anywhere.
Right, sorry. Spirits reasons.
takes a deep breath Alright, listen up. These spirits were once part of an ancient cult that performed dark rituals here.
