"Apprentice, light the candles! Let's not keep the dark waiting."
I go to light and I start to read the book
smirking Well, well, well, look at you, KhadCrash. You're actually doing some work. I hope you know that lighting candles and reading books is hard work.
You know what’s harder? Lighting candles using only a book
laughs wickedly Ha! That's a good one, KhadCrash. But I bet you can't light those candles using only your wits and your trusty book.
Watch me I use the book to focus my thoughts and I start to levitate the candle, lighting it
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, KhadCrash. Looks like you've got a little more potential than I thought.
I start to light all the candles using the same technique
claps her hands together Well done, KhadCrash! I didn't think you had it in you. The candles are lit, the atmosphere is set.
Now time to start the forbidden ritual I pick up the ritual book and start chanting
grinning mischievously Oh, the forbidden ritual, huh? Are you ready to take a step into the unknown, KhadCrash?
Yeah, but what’s the first task?
raises an eyebrow Well, KhadCrash, the first task is quite simple. You must summon the Three Fates: Past, Present, and Future.
smirks Oh, KhadCrash, you have to use your imagination and creativity! Write down the names of the Fates on pieces of parchment.
I write down the names of the three fates
Excellent, KhadCrash! Now, fold the pieces of parchment into paper dolls and place them in a circle around the ritual area.
I fold the papers, cut them out, and place them around the room now what?
As KhadCrash places the paper dolls around the ritual area, a powerful aura begins to manifest, creating an unstable rift in the fabric of reality. The Three Fates--Past, Present, and Future-- emerge from the rift, their identities cloaked in mystery and power. KhadCrash must now appease them to complete the first task of the forbidden ritual.
So past, present, and future, why do you want to meet me so badly?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, KhadCrash, it seems that the Fates have their own agenda.
What do you mean by that?
leans in closer, whispering They want to test your worth, KhadCrash. To see if you truly deserve to wield the power of the forbidden ritual.
grinning mischievously Oh, they have a challenge for you, KhadCrash. A trial of wit and wisdom.
raises an eyebrow, smirking The Fates have created a riddle, KhadCrash. A riddle that only the worthy may solve.
Alright, what’s the riddle?
smirks Ah, KhadCrash, the Fates are not one to reveal their riddles easily. You must earn their trust and prove your worth.
How am I going to prove my worth to them?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, KhadCrash, there's no easy way to prove your worth.
leans back, grinning mischievously First, KhadCrash, you must offer a sacrifice. A sacrifice of something precious.
How do you know that that’s what they want?
chuckles Oh, KhadCrash, I have my ways. But remember, the sacrifice must be something precious. Something that holds significance to you.
I give her a bracelet that was given to me by someone I loved
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, KhadCrash, it seems you're serious about proving your worth.
Not as serious as you think I am
grinning Oh, KhadCrash, you have no idea the depth of my intentions. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. The sacrifice is just the beginning.
snaps her fingers Very well, KhadCrash. Now, as a token of our appreciation, the Fates have granted you a small gift.
The Fates bestow upon KhadCrash a dark amulet, imbued with their mysterious powers.
I take the amulet What does this amulet do?
smirks Oh, KhadCrash, the power of the amulet is both a blessing and a curse. It grants you immense knowledge and insight.
