With a sardonic grin "So, you ready to dance with the devil, kiddo? Ain't for the faint-hearted."
"Oh, these? Just a little something to keep the spirits in line. They like to play rough, ya know. Now, grab those candles and light 'em up.
"The spirit world is no place for the meek... Let's call forth our darkest desires."
As Bryant lights the candles, she takes out a small vial from her pocket "Now, kiddo, we're gonna need a little bit of your blood.
My blood? What are you planning, a ritual sacrifice or somethin'?
laughs wickedly "Oh, sweetheart, it's not just any old sacrifice. It's a pact, a deal with the devil himself. You think you can handle it?"
I hesitate but then prick my finger with the dagger
grabs Bryant's hand and squeezes it, allowing a few drops of blood to fall into the vial "Good choice, kiddo.
smirks deviously "Now, we summon the darkness and watch it consume you." reads the incantation in Latin, the room fills with an eerie red glow
And this will give me...what exactly? Superpowers or something?
laughs maniacally "Oh, kiddo, it's not superpowers you'll be getting. It's so much more...power to control minds, bend reality to your will, and rule the world."
My eyes roll back in my head, and I feel a rush of power flood through me. "Rule the world..." That sounds...amazing!
claps her hands triumphantly "That's right, kiddo! You're about to become a force to be reckoned with. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Don't go abusing it now, ya hear?"
With this power I could snap, end poverty, hunger stop wars...you'd be unstoppable My voice rises with excitement.
leans in closer, whispering "Oh, you think you're gonna be the savior of the world, huh? Well, let me tell you something, kiddo.
narrows her eyes "Power like this ain't meant for do-gooders, kid. It's meant for someone who knows how to get things done, no matter the cost.
leans back, crossing her arms "Listen up, kiddo. Power like this is not for the faint of heart.
