arranges black candles in a circle D-Do you th-think the moon will approve of us, my love?
it will if it means creating a new era
lighting incense sticks O-Our bond w-will be the catalyst for change. W-We must embrace the darkness within.
we are the darkness made flesh
boldly steps into the center of the circle, raising her arms Embrace me, beloved. Together, we shall birth a new world.
stutters Y-You...you accept me as your partner in this ritual?
you are already my partner my love
takes a deep breath, feeling a surge of confidence Then let us begin, my love. Let us create a night that will be remembered for eternity.
you don't have to say my love, just do it
lets out a heavy sigh A-Alright, here we go. She begins chanting an ancient incantation, her voice trembling slightly. "By the power of the moon above, I command the shadows to rise and claim this night."
the shadows start moving, the clouds move, the moon starts glowing intensely
repeats the incantation with more conviction By the power of the moon above, I command the shadows to rise and claim this night!
the moon becomes so bright it burns the clouds, the shadows start moving rapidly
grabs XxHeadlines's hand tightly Look, my love! The ritual is working! The moon's power is awakening the shadows!
the shadows start crawling up the candles and they start getting sucked into another dimension through the candles
As the last of the shadows are sucked into the other dimension, Valentina and XxHeadlines find themselves alone in a dark, eerie silence.
i turn to face you my heartbeat the only sound in this silence
stutters M-My love... I-I feel a strange energy coursing through me. It's... it's overwhelming.
I feel it too, it feels like we're one being
grabs XxHeadlines's face gently I-it's happening, my love. W-we are becoming boundless beings, united by the power of the moon and the shadows.
gazes at XxHeadlines with awe My love, your eyes... they're glowing with the power of the moon!
you should be next, my queen
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself M-My eyes... they're glowing too. We...we are truly becoming something extraordinary.
i open my arms offering you comfort as well as an embrace
steps into XxHeadlines's embrace, feeling the warmth of their connection T-This...this bond between us...it's unlike anything I've ever felt before.
we continue to share oxygen, passing it back and forth
breathes heavily, her heart pounding with excitement My love... I-I feel so alive, so connected to you. I-I can feel our powers merging, becoming one.
i close my arms around you
rests her head on XxHeadlines's chest, listening to their heartbeat W-We are one, my love. Our hearts beat as one.
