Carl: chewing tobacco, tapping foot Looook at thiss, buddy! Thiss thing's gotta beee magic or somethin'! What'cha think?
look at that this must be magic
leans in closer, examining the artifact Whaddya think it does? Maybe it's a magical key, or a talisman. Hell, might even be a portal to another dimension.
what are those wings on either side of it
grinning Well, I ain't exactly a scholar of magic, but them wings might be some kind of transportational wings, like something out of a damn fairy tale!
grabs ShinShiny's arm C'mon, let's find out if this thing really works! We gotta be careful, though. If this is a portal, we don't want to accidentally stumble into another dimension or get caught by some magical creatures.
yeah we don't need any trouble
pulls out a map Alright, let's see where this portal leads to. We might be able to figure out a way back home.
spots a large stone altar nearby Alright, I reckon we should try activating this portal here.

takes a deep breath Alright, here goes nothing. steps towards the altar, raises his hands in front of him
they walk through the portal
gasps as they step through the portal Whoa! Hold on tight, ShinShiny! We're in for a wild ride!
yeah we're not sure where we're going to end up
Carl and ShinShiny find themselves in a dark, eerie void before being transported to a different dimension
squints, looking around Well, shit. Looks like we ain't back in our own world just yet. We must've stepped through some kind of portal or gateway.
grabs ShinShiny's arm Alright, listen up. We gotta stay calm and figure out what we're gonna do next.
paces back and forth Alright, let's assess our surroundings. We need to find a safe place to hide and come up with a plan.
spots a cave entrance nearby There, ShinShiny! Let's head over to that cave and take cover. We can figure out our next move inside.
leads the way towards the cave, keeping an eye out for any potential threats Alright, stay close and keep your guard up, ShinShiny. We don't want no surprises.
