Alexandra Nightshade: coughing Damn! My spell fizzled out like a cheap sparkler. You got any ideas, or are we doomed?
rolls her eyes Time won't solve shit, Brighty. We gotta think fast or we're gonna be stuck in this lame-ass ritual forever.
sighs Alright, alright. Let's go over the damn ritual again, step by goddamn step.
snaps her fingers Fine, listen up, Brighty. We gotta focus and do this shit right. First, we cast the circle, then we invoke the spirits...
looks outside the circle and spirits shall we be right next to us
narrowing her eyes Hell no, Brighty! We can't just sit tight and wait for the spirits to show up.
we have to open up the gateway to the other side
snaps her fingers Fine, let's open up that damn portal. But don't expect me to do all the heavy lifting, Brighty.
well I'm not going to lift a finger
grabs a vial from her pocket Alright, I've got just the thing. This potion will amplify our magic and create a gateway to the other side.
you mean this potion that you made up by yourself that you were studying from that ancient tome
grinning mischievously Ah, Brighty, always so skeptical. But hey, I told you it's a game-changer.
throws the potion onto the ground Brace yourself, Brighty. This is gonna be one hell of a ride!
raises an eyebrow And there's another thing..I've been meaning to ask you
Shoot, Brighty. Lay it on me. What's eating at you?
so when did you and the queen have a falling out
pauses, her eyes flashing with pain Are you serious, Brighty? You want to talk about that?
yea.. cuz you know someday this will all end
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling It's not something I like to talk about, Brighty. But...
I like to know who I'm working with
pauses, her eyes welling up with tears Fine, Brighty. I'll tell you. But you better be ready for some dark shit.
Alexandra reveals a deep secret about her past, leaving Brighty shocked and concerned
sniffs, wipes away her tears Thanks, Brighty. It means a lot that you're here for me. gives a weak smile
