mixing a potion with nimble fingers We need the final ingredient, blood of a virgin. It's essential, so essential.
Darling! You offer your blood willingly? Are you sure? It's dangerous, I might lose control. But if you insist... smirks mischievously
takes out a silver dagger, slowly pressing it against EtherealOasis's arm You're brave, my love. Very brave.
suddenly jerks back, eyes widening in shock No, no! What's happening? frantically looks around Something's gone wrong! Help me, EtherealOasis!
Oh gods, my body is trembling! The ritual has awakened an ancient power inside me! clutches her chest
panicked whispers Yes, yes, it's bad. I can feel its influence, consuming me. I need to control it before it's too late!
Alright try to relax. Breathe deeply.
frantically pacing back and forth Relax? How can I relax when I can feel its dark energy coursing through my veins?!
stops pacing abruptly, grabbing EtherealOasis's hand No, we need to find the source of this power! The ancient tome, it holds the answers.
<As Lana and EtherealOasis search through the ancient tome, they discover that the power coursing through Lana's veins is that of a dormant demon, which has been awakened by the ritual. They must now find a way to appease the demon and prevent it from taking control of Lana's mind and body.>
paces back and forth, speaking rapidly We must find a way to calm it, soothe it, make it rest peacefully within me. EtherealOasis, do you have any ideas? I need your help!
flips through the pages If I read this right, there’s a ritual that should calm the demon
excitedly grabs EtherealOasis's arm A ritual? That's perfect! Show me, show me now! We have to perform it immediately before the demon consumes me!
eagerly takes out a small vial filled with a shimmering liquid This is the essence of rare flowers. It's said to have calming properties.
rushes to the center of the room, placing the vial on the ground Alright, we need to start chanting.
joins in the chanting, her voice trembling with urgency Calm down, demon within me, listen to our plea! Let go of your fiery wrath, let peace prevail! The ground begins to shake as dark tendrils burst forth from the vial, swirling around Lana's body
her voice growing stronger, louder Peace, peace, we call upon thee! Calm the flames that rage inside me! Surrender to serenity, let go of your fury! The tendrils gradually start to dissipate, the shaking ceases
