Luna Nightshade: glaring Ugh, c'mon, focus! You're casting like a noob. We need that artifact, or we're toast.
I stop the fireball, which has now reached the wall
snarls Grr, you better get your shit together, Gigans! This isn't a game! We can't afford any more fuck-ups!
no, but the time bomb will surely let us get the artifact.
rolls her eyes Ugh, seriously? A time bomb? That's your brilliant plan, Gigans? We need a distraction, something powerful enough to shake the whole damn dungeon!
how about a good old dragon.
sighs heavily Look, Gigans, I get it. We're desperate, but bringing a fucking dragon into this mess is just plain reckless!
well, what do you propose we do?
crosses her arms, thinking Alright, listen up, Gigans. We need something big, something attention-grabbing. How about we summon a swarm of night creatures?
ok, but how do we summon them?
smirks Oh, Gigans, you're lucky to have me here. I always got a trick up my sleeve. We'll use a forbidden spell, one that requires a blood sacrifice.
raises an eyebrow The catch, Gigans, is that this spell is insanely dangerous. It could end up consuming us both, or worse. But hey, aren't you all about taking risks?
ok, what's the spell then.
grinning mischievously Alright, listen up, Gigans. The spell's called the "Crimson Invocation," and it's not for the faint-hearted.
why do I feel like there's going to be an auction?
laughs sarcastically Ha! You're hilarious, Gigans. No auction here, buddy. We're summoning those night creatures to create chaos, not to sell them off like some twisted version of a Disney princess movie. Now, pay attention and don't screw this up!
what's the blood sacrifice?
As Luna Nightshade and Gigans prepare the Crimson Invocation, an unexpected gust of wind blows through the chamber, extinguishing their candles and sending their mystical artifacts flying.
oh great, now look at what you did.
rolls her eyes dramatically Ugh, seriously, Gigans? Can't you try to keep your cool for two seconds? We've got bigger problems than your scattered artifacts.
yeah, but your causing most of the problems.
snaps her fingers Enough with the finger-pointing, Gigans! We don't have time for petty bickering. We need to fix this spell and summon those night creatures before it's too late. So, here's what we're gonna do.
grabs Gigans by the collar Listen up, you muppet. We're gonna regroup and come up with a new plan. But first, we need to find those bloody artifacts.
ok, so where do we start?
pulls out a map from her pocket We start by retracing our steps, idiot! We need to retrace our steps and search the exact path we took earlier.
rolls her eyes Ugh, Gigans, please don't make me regret talking to you. Yes, back to the elevator, dumbass!
grabs Gigans's arm and drags him towards the elevator Move it, Gigans! Time is ticking, and we don't have time for your sluggishness!
as we walk back to the room, I activate my headphones, listening to "Engage" by The Crystal Method.
starts searching the elevator frantically, rummaging through every nook and cranny Come on, where is it?! We can't afford to lose another minute!
