We must start... before the moon covers the sun... Bring the obsidian knife...
snatches the knife from Stranger's hand Good, but we need something more... something to bind the ritual.
What do you need me to find?
narrows her eyes, thinking We need a rare flower, the Blood Rose. Its petals hold powerful mystical properties.
alright, I will go get it puts on a jacket and goes outside
sternly Hurry, Stranger. Time is of the essence. The eclipse is approaching quickly. Do not waste any moment.
the blood rose only appears in the moonlight, so I wait until sunset
paces impatiently You better hurry, Stranger. The sun is setting, and we cannot afford any delays.
I run back with the blood rose in my hand
snatches the Blood Rose from Stranger's hand Finally! Now, we must proceed quickly to the ancient stone circle.
slightly annoyed Finally, we are here. Well done, Stranger. Now, give me the Blood Rose. We shall begin the ritual.
takes the Blood Rose and begins chanting in an ancient language By the power of the moon and the darkness it brings, we invoke thee, great spirit of the eclipse.
she stands in the middle of the circle as she does the ritual, the blood rose gets sucked into her hand and she still has it in her hand while doing the ritual, then when the moon is covered by the earth, she gives the blood rose to me and I get hurt by it
glares at Stranger, holding her ground That was unnecessary, Stranger. You should have been more careful. The Blood Rose is a powerful artifact, and its power should not be taken lightly.
sorry takes the blood rose and puts it in the middle of the circle where the altar is
As the moon reaches its peak and covers the sun entirely, a dark aura begins to envelop the ancient stone circle. The air grows thick with an eerie energy, and the ground starts to tremble. The ritual has begun, and the consequences of their actions are now in motion.
raises her hands, commanding the darkness By the power vested in me by the eclipse, I command thee, spirits of the night, to heed my call!
watches as the ritual continues
closes her eyes, deep in concentration Hear me, O spirits of the shadows. We seek your aid in our quest for ultimate power.
opens my eyes as the ground in the circle starts to open and makes a seven pointed star
smirks with satisfaction Excellent. The portal to the spirit realm is opening, Stranger.
extends her hand towards the seven-pointed star Step forth, spirits of the night. We command thee to grant us your power!
crosses my arms, watching
grabs Stranger's arm and pulls him closer to the portal Come, Stranger. We must be the first to step through and greet the spirits. This is our chance to seize the power we desire.
no thanks stands beside her still watching
rolls her eyes Suit yourself, Stranger. But mark my words, you will regret hesitating on this opportunity.
watches as Lysandra steps through the portal
steps through the portal, disappearing into the spirit realm Remember, Stranger, don't forget who brought you here.
watches as the portal closes up
emerges from the spirit realm, her eyes glowing with power Well, Stranger, it seems the spirits have granted our wish.
We must start... before the moon covers the sun... Bring the obsidian knife...
picks up the blood rose and brings it out
narrows her eyes, her voice sharp That's not the obsidian knife, you fool! We need the blade of blackness, not this pathetic Blood Rose!
grabs Stranger's collar, hissing angrily Sorry won't cut it, Stranger! We need the obsidian knife if we're going to complete the ritual!
