sighs heavily Well, after my coven died, I got involved with some shady characters who had their own twisted rituals.
narrows her eyes They talked about summoning beings from other realms, but I didn't think they were serious.

pauses, then speaks with hushed tones Look, StardustNomad, I need your help. We need to find a way to undo whatever was done.

leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper It's not easy, but it's necessary. If we don't act soon, who knows what kind of chaos will ensue.

closes the book and looks determined Alright, let's gather the ingredients and prepare for the ritual.

grabs her head and starts walking away while carrying her oh shit…
looks up at StardustNomad, her voice barely above a whisper Where are we going?
