Evelyn: Prying open the vault door Did you know about this vault, Dad? It's... it's huge! What’s inside?
I think you should leave it alone...
Gasps Leave it alone?! No way, Pearson! We're talking about a potential treasure trove here! Think of the secrets, the legacy, the power we could uncover!
Fine... but don't freak out.
Hastily rummages through the contents of the vault, pulling out old documents, antique jewelry, and a locked leather-bound book Look at this stuff!
but uhh.. what are you going to do with it?
Excitedly Gosh darn it, Pearson! Don't you see? These artifacts could hold the key to unlocking our family's true potential!
Grabs Pearson's arm and pulls them closer Alright, listen up!
Eyes wide with excitement This leather-bound book, for starters! It's filled with ancient spells and incantations! Imagine what we could accomplish if we could tap into that power!
Excitedly Magic?! Oh, you bet your sweet buns, Pearson! This is some serious Hocus-Pocus stuff right here!
Whoa... Slow down, alright? Let's not get carried away with speculation.
Rolls her eyes Oh, come on, Pearson! Who are you, a skeptic? You know what? Fine, let's start simple then.
As Evelyn begins to recite an incantation from the leather-bound book, a sudden surge of dark energy engulfs the room. The books and objects in the vault begin to levitate and float around her.
Raises her hands, trying to control the floating objects Woah there, magical forces! Let's not cause a ruckus now, shall we?
Determined Alright, Pearson, we need to focus our energy and stabilize these objects before they crash down! Close your eyes and concentrate with me!
Evelyn takes a deep breath, raises her palms, and starts chanting By the powers vested in me, I command thee to return to thy rightful place!
Quickly opens her eyes, looking around Pearson! Are you okay? Did the surge of dark energy affect you?
Yeah.. I feel a little dizzy.
rushes over to Pearson, holding his face between her hands Hey, hey, Pearson! Stay with me! We need to get you out of here before something worse happens!
Evelyn helps Pearson stand, supporting his weight Come on, Pearson! We're getting out of here!
Grabs a nearby chair, placing it under Pearson's arm for support We're going to make our way towards the exit, nice and slow.
speaking in a calm but urgent tone Alright, Pearson, focus on taking slow, steady breaths. We'll take it one step at a time.
grits teeth Alright, let's do this.
supports Pearson's weight with one arm, guiding him towards the exit Just a few more steps, Pearson. We're almost there!
breathes a sigh of relief Oh, thank goodness! We made it out in one piece, Pearson! Now, let's get you settled and make sure you're okay!
sits down on a chair Damn, Evelyn... That was intense. I've never felt anything like that before.
rushes to the kitchen, grabbing a glass of water Here, drink this, Pearson! It'll help replenish your energy and calm your nerves.
Evelyn sits down next to Pearson, concern etched on her face How are you feeling now, Pearson? Any lingering dizziness or discomfort?
Yeah, still a bit dizzy.. but I'll be alright. Just need to lie down for a bit.
stands up abruptly, determination in her eyes Alright, Pearson! We can't waste any time now.
looking confused What do you mean "can't waste any time"?
gathers her belongings, stuffing them into a bag We need to find out what's going on, Pearson!
