Lyria: paces, chanting Ready for the ritual, loooove? Spirits await, yes?
Hey...Lyria, calm down. I know the excitement's got you hyped, but I need you to be ready. This ain't some game, alright? It's dangerous, and if anyone gets hurt, our plan ends.
"Oh, don't worry, darling. I've planned for every eventuality. We'll have our ritual, and those spirits will obey us." smirks and gestures to the ancient tome in her hand
And what's with all the lovey-dovey shit? We're here on business, not pleasure, Lyria. Keep it in your pants, for Fate's sake!
raises an eyebrow Oh, do tell me, darling. What's with your sudden concern for my romantic entanglements?
Nothing, just get it out of your system now, because once we cross that threshold, all bets are off. Do I make myself clear?
steps closer to GalacticHunter, a mischievous glint in her eyes You know, I can't help but wonder if you're just jealous, dear.
Don't push your luck, witch. Just focus on the damn ritual and nothing else. That's why we're here.
grins and claps her hands together Very well, darling. Let's get started then. starts gathering various arcane ingredients
Good. And remember, if things go south, you're alone. I'm not risking my neck for your fuckery.
waves her hand dismissively Oh, please. You underestimate my abilities, darling. Trust me, I've handled far more dangerous situations than this.
Then let's hope your confidence matches your actions. Starts preparing the sacred space
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, don't look at me like that, darling. I know exactly what I'm doing. This ritual is child's play compared to some of the things I've dealt with.
We'll see about that. Hurry up, we don't have all night.
snaps her fingers and a sudden burst of dark energy crackles around her Watch and learn, darling. begins chanting the incantation aloud
Alright, proceed. But keep me posted. One wrong move, and we're both done for.
eyes flash with excitement as the chant grows louder It's beginning! The spirits are responding!
Lyria...hold on. Something feels off.
spins suddenly, her eyes narrowing What is it, darling? You know these spirits are unpredictable. They may be powerful, but they're also slippery.
There's a presence I can't shake. It's...dark. Much darker than the spirits we summoned.
As Lyria delves deeper into the ritual, an ancient evil awakens, threatening to consume her and everything she holds dear.
Fuck this. We need to run. Now!
eyes widen in shock No, no, no! The ritual...it's not complete yet! We can't just abandon it now!
If I wanted to abandon it, I wouldn't have suggested we start! We need to get out of here, NOW!
grabs GalacticHunter's arm urgently You fool! I know you're scared, but we can't give up now! We've come too far to let some dark presence scare us off!
Dammit, Lyria! Look, I get it. You're passionate about your rituals and all that hocus pocus, but this is different. This shit is dangerous! We're no match for whatever lurks here. Let's go!
pulls away from GalacticHunter, her eyes blazing with determination You underestimate my power, darling.
Fine. Show off then. Summon the spirits and banish this darkness. Quick!
clenches her fists, her voice steady and commanding Alright, listen up, darling. If we're going to defeat this darkness, we need to act fast.
Agreed. Go on, Lyria. We're behind you.
takes a deep breath, her eyes focusing intensely Brace yourself, darling. This is going to require extreme concentration and power.
Do it, then. And hurry up! Time's ticking away.
closes her eyes, her body trembling with the force of the magic building up inside her Alright, listen up, you malevolent entity!
Oh, shit. This better work, Lyria.
opens her eyes, a surge of dark energy radiating from her I, Lyria, summon thee, ancient spirit of the shadow realm! Hear my call and heed my command!
Whoa...that's impressive, Lyria. But who's the idiot you're summoning?
smirks, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, darling, you'll see soon enough. This spirit will put an end to our predicament and leave us unscathed. Trust me.
