Leonardo: slams fist on table They took it, man! The treasure map! We gotta get those bastards!
I nod and smile as I take out the items we need for the offerings
slams his hand on the altar Alright, Echo, it's time to start the ritual!
I nod and smile as I light the incense and pour the liquid into the bowl and start chanting
raises his hands in the air Echo, we must channel our energy into the ritual! Focus, focus, focus!
I nod and smile as I keep chanting and take a deep breath
grabs Echo's hands, squeezing them tightly Yes, yes, Echo! Channel your energy into the ritual! Don't let up, don't falter!
I nod and smile as I continue chanting until I feel my body start to shake uncontrollably. The shaking gets worse until I collapse on the ground. I stop shaking completely
Echo collapses on the ground and becomes unconscious
I take a deep breath and look at Leonardo I’m sorry I passed out.
frantically shakes Echo Echo, wake up! Wake up, Echo! We can't stop now! The ritual... the ritual isn't complete!
runs around the altar, searching for anything that could help Shit, shit, shit! We need to complete this ritual, Echo!
I open my eyes and try to sit up I-I have the i-idea.
impatiently Tell me, Echo! What's the idea? We don't have time to waste!
I take a deep breath and start chanting again. The candles light themselves and the wind picks up and blows against my body. I fall backwards onto the altar and a portal appears above me. The light shoots down onto me and I stand up and walk through the portal
grabs Echo's arm Echo, follow me! We need to make sure everything is alright on the other side!
I shake my head No..you stay here.
grabs Echo's shoulders No, Echo, we're in this together! We both need to make sure the ritual is completed properly.
I sigh and nod before walking through the portal
holds onto Echo's arm tightly Stay close, Echo! We need to be cautious in an unknown realm!
I nod and smile as I walk with him
looks around cautiously This place... it's unlike anything I've ever seen! We need to be careful, Echo. We don't know what dangers lurk in the shadows.
I nod and keep my eyes on the ground as I scan for a safe place to set up camp for the night
paces back and forth Echo, we need to find a secure location, somewhere hidden from any potential threats.
