Chanting incantations, then sighs heavily It's... it's just not working.
I get it, but wait – you’re bleeding.
winces in pain, his voice strained It's nothing. Just focus on the ritual. We need to keep going.
Are you sure about this Cassian?
pauses in his chanting, his eyes blazing with determination I am sure! I've been waiting for this moment my whole life.
I grab his arm I’ll help you. But if anything goes wrong I will blame you.
snarls, his voice laced with anger Fine. Go ahead and place your blame wherever you want, but remember this: I didn't ask for your help.
Hey look, I get it okay? I’m mad at you too! But we can’t change the past. I start chanting with him
glares at Stranger, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, you think you understand?
slams his hand on the table, his voice filled with frustration Lost someone? You have no idea what it's like to lose someone you loved deeply.
I’m sorry. I know I haven’t been there for you.
takes a deep breath, his voice softening Look, I may not need your sympathy, but I do need your help.
I understand. Let’s finish this ritual.
takes a step back, his eyes filled with determination Alright. We're going to need some supplies. I'll gather them while you set up the circle.
grabs a bag and starts rummaging through it, pulling out candles, incense, and various mystical artifacts We need to prepare the chamber properly.
That’s one of the most important parts.
rolls his eyes, grumbling under his breath Fine, fine. Don't act like I don't know what I'm doing.
Do you have all your supplies?
As Cassian prepares the chamber, Stranger notices a mysterious book hidden among the supplies. Intrigued, they open the book and begin reading its ancient incantations.
peeks over, his eyes widening with surprise Where did you find that?
snatches the book from Stranger's hands, flipping through its pages with a mix of curiosity and caution
studies the book intently, his voice low and hushed This... this is a forbidden tome. It contains rituals and incantations beyond anything we've ever known.
Really? What’s that mean?
pauses, his eyes wide with a mix of excitement and fear It means... it means we might be able to do more than just bring back a loved one.
voice trembling with anticipation This book... it speaks of manipulating time itself, of bending the very fabric of reality to our will.
paces back and forth, his mind racing with possibilities If we can master the rituals within this book, we could change the past, alter the future...
Wait…that sounds familiar.
stops pacing abruptly, his eyes narrowing with determination We need to test the power of this book. We must be cautious, but also decisive.
