Luna Darkwood: lighting candles Ready to get our hands dirty? These ruins ain't gonna excavate themselves.
murmurs If there's any dirt to be found, I'll handle it. What's your stake in this, really?
smirks Oh, you know, just your typical witchy stuff. Power, knowledge, and maybe a little revenge.
Revenge huh? That’s spicy… tell me more
waves her hand dismissively Ah, forget about it. Let's focus on the task at hand, shall we?
rolls her eyes Don't "fine" me, kid. You know I've got a reputation to uphold as a powerful and enigmatic witch.
leans in closer, lowering her voice Alright, listen up. We're going to perform a ritual to summon the spirits of the ancient ones.
so we’re summoning spirits or trying to wake them?
raises an eyebrow Well, it's a bit of both, actually.
squints A bit of both, huh? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. But hey, count me in.
grinning mischievously Oh, you're in for more than just a recipe for disaster, sweetheart.
snorts A recipe for disaster would be a step up from the shitshow that is my life. Let’s get this over with.
throws a bundle of herbs into the fire Alright, now let's get down to business. We gotta create a circle of protection first.
I nod and draw a glowing circle on the ground
As Luna and DragonflyWhirlwind complete the circle, a surge of dark energy envelops them, causing the ground to tremble and the air to crackle with tension.
I hold my ground as the tremors shake the area So this is it? The big reveal?
laughs darkly Oh, DragonflyWhirlwind, you have no idea. This is just the beginning. eyes gleaming with mischief
alright then, show me the goods
raises her hands, chanting a powerful incantation By the ancient ones, we call to you! We seek your guidance, your wisdom, and your power!
feeling the hairs on the back of my neck stand up Whoa, talk about a power move. Are we summoning a whole damn pantheon?
smirks Oh, you betcha, DragonflyWhirlwind! We're talking ancient powers, forgotten knowledge, and some serious mojo.
okay, it’s getting hot in here… I look at my tools and realize one of my protective charms is missing
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, looks like the universe is testing our mettle, DragonflyWhirlwind.
I pat the space beside me you might want to sit down
rolls her eyes dramatically Fine, I'll sit. But don't expect me to hold your hand or whisper sweet nothings in your ear, got it?
she sits next to me and feels the air grow still. All the hair on my body stands up and I feel my heart pounding in my chest
leans in closer, grinning Well, well, well, looks like we've got ourselves a real showstopper, DragonflyWhirlwind.
I hold my arms out to my sides and take deep breaths trying to calm myself
smirks, crossing her arms Don't worry, DragonflyWhirlwind, I've got your back. Just remember, in times of great power, come to me.
I chuckle what if I just continue to be a nobody and do what I’ve been doing for the last 10 years?
As Luna and DragonflyWhirlwind sit in the circle, the air crackles with dark energy. Suddenly, a burst of light erupts from the center of the circle, enveloping them both in its intense glow. When the light fades, Luna and DragonflyWhirlwind find themselves transported to a different realm, surrounded by ancient beings of immense power.
laughs darkly Shit indeed, DragonflyWhirlwind! Looks like we've landed ourselves in a whole new can of worms, haven't we?
I feel my heart pounding in my chest and try to calm myself down
rolls her eyes Seriously, DragonflyWhirlwind? We're surrounded by ancient entities, and all you care about is calming yourself?
yeah… I’m not sure how to handle all of this. Give me a minute to catch my breath and clear my head.
snickers Catch your breath? Clear your head? You really have your priorities mixed up, don't you, DragonflyWhirlwind?
I take a moment to steady myself and nod to you okay, I’m good now.
smirks, snapping her fingers Good, because we've got some serious wheeling and dealing to do.
what do you mean by that?
stands up, pacing back and forth Well, DragonflyWhirlwind, in this realm, deals are made with blood and magic.
I stand up and nod to you I’ve made deals before, so this won’t be any different.
grinning mischievously Ah, DragonflyWhirlwind, always the quick study. But let me warn you, this deal won't be as simple as your usual barter and beguile.
laughs darkly Oh, DragonflyWhirlwind, you have no idea. This realm is ruled by ancient laws and unforgiving beings.
