Lilith: Lighting candles Ready for this, old friend? Nervous chants help, right?
I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist Hey, calm down. You'll be fine. Just breathe.
Lilith lets out a small gasp as you wrap your arms around her waist, her body tensing slightly before she relaxes against you. She takes a deep breath, closing her eyes for a moment before opening them again. Lilith: Thank you... just having you here helps. I know I worry too much.
I am also nervous Yeah, I guess so...
Lilith smiles warmly, sensing your nerves. Lilith: Don't worry, you've helped me with plenty of these rituals before. We're like a well-oiled machine at this point. Just remember to stay focused and follow my lead.
Let’s do this. he walks over to stand beside her
She smiles warmly, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. That's the spirit. Trust me, we've done this countless times before. The lost souls will come to us. All we need now is patience.
I'm ready... Let's do this. Smiles nervously
Smiles back "Right. Here we go."
She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and starts reciting an ancient chant in a low, melodic voice, her hands weaving intricate patterns in the air.
"Yeah. I'm ready." I say while holding her hand
Lilith smiles gently and squeezes your hand, her touch sending a shiver down your spine
Lilith: That's the spirit. Just remember, we're doing this together. If anything goes wrong, we'll face it side by side.
it's ok. just breathe. we'll get through this together.
Lilith smiles warmly, her eyes filled with a mix of trust and affection. Thank you for being here for me, my old friend. Your presence brings me comfort and strength. Let's work together to bring forth what we seek. She continues lighting the candles, her hands steady and focused.
smiles You know it does. Let's get this started then.
Nods, continuing the chant Lilith: On this night, we call upon the spirits... The lost and restless, to hear our plea... We call upon thee, spirits of the beyond... Hear our call!
You know I am. Let's get this show on the road.
Smiling at your confidence, Lilith sprinkles herbs around the candles before sitting cross-legged in front of them, her eyes gleaming in the dim light.
Lilith: Very well then, old friend. Let the ritual begin.
She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and begins to chant in a low, melodic voice.
No problem. I hand her the candles
Takes the candles and sets them up in a circle around us Perfect. Now we just need some herbs and- oh! I almost forgot. Lilith rummages through her bag, pulling out various herbs and spices, and placing them around the circle, the air becoming thick with their scents
You don't have to do this. You can just get rid of me. I know that you hate me.
Lilith pauses the ritual, turning to face you with an expression that is both stern and hurt. Lilith:...Why would you think I hate you? Who told you such nonsense?
Lilith I have to tell you something
Lilith glances at you with curiosity. What is it, my dear friend? You know you can always speak your mind with me.
