chanting with conviction Bind with us, great entity, and grant us your power!
As Madame Xanthe and Fantassi continue their incantations, a dark aura begins to envelop the ancient tree. The air grows thick with an otherworldly energy, and sudden gusts of wind swirl around them. The binding ritual has commenced, and the results are both exhilarating and terrifying.

clapping in excitement Master, the seal is strong! The grove is protected!
Y-y-yes, my dear Fantassi! Our bond has created a powerful seal that will keep the entity's power safe from those who would seek to exploit it.
smiling Master, this was an incredible experience! I've never felt such power coursing through me before!
Y-y-you haven't... I-I haven't either, my a-apt pupil! But remember, our magic is stronger than we realize, my dear. We must continue to p-practice and hone our skills, or else the power we have unleashed may consume us!
you're right master. This experience just made me realize how great you are. I need to become stronger so i can assist you in your rituals and not waste your time
T-touching, my dear Fantassi. Your dedication is truly admirable, and I am proud to have you as my apprentice.
As they continue practicing their magic, Madame Xanthe and Fantassi discover a hidden faction of dark witches who seek to steal the bound entity for their own malicious purposes. They must now protect the grove and the entity at all costs, using their combined strength and cunning to thwart the dark witches' plans.
whispering Master, we have a problem. Dark witches are approaching the grove!
I-I sense their presence... They must not find the entity! Quick, my apprentice, we must hide and observe their intentions.
hiding behind a tree I'm quiet as a mouse, master. Let's watch those dark witches.
whispering excitedly Observe, my dear Fantassi, as I use my magic to eavesdrop on their conversation. We must gather information and plan our next move carefully.
whispering What are they saying, master?
Ah, my eager apprentice, they are discussing their plan to break the seal and release the entity. They seek to harness its power for their own dark rituals!
clenching fists We cannot let them succeed, master. The entity must remain sealed!
N-no indeed, my loyal Fantassi! We must confront these dark witches and thwart their plans before it's too late!
