Vera Nightshade: lighting candles "Focus. The old magic stirs. Don't tremble."
Does that mean that other souls aren't as pure?
The demon begins to manifest its presence, dark tendrils writhing around Fleming's body as it starts to take control
Uh oh... looks like things are escalating quickly!
grabs a vial from her pocket and quickly pours its contents into a nearby cauldron "Fleming, stay strong! I'm trying to find a way to counteract the demon's influence!"
As the last drop of the vial hits the cauldron, a burst of blue light erupts, clashing with the dark energy surrounding Fleming.
clenching her fists, eyes narrowed "Damn it! The demon's grip on him is stronger than I anticipated. We need a backup plan!"
Vera, what are you going to do?
snaps her fingers, summoning a swirling portal "We need to make a deal with another entity, one who can counteract the demon's power. Step inside, Fleming.
Swallowing hard, I step into the portal, my mind racing with fear and anticipation.
steps into the portal with Fleming, emerging in a dimly lit, ethereal realm "Welcome to the Realm of Spirits, Fleming. Here, we will find an ally capable of breaking the demon's hold on you."
Damn, Vera! This place gives me the creeps! Is this where we're gonna make our deal?
narrows her eyes, scanning the surroundings "No, Fleming. We must journey deeper into the realm, find the ancient spirit of the Lycan King.
You got it, Vera! Lead the way!
walks deeper into the realm, navigating through the twisting paths with ease "Stay close, Fleming. The spirits here are unpredictable, and they may try to deceive us."
I'll keep my eyes peeled, Vera. Let's hope this plan works!
suddenly stops, her eyes widening as she spots a shimmering portal ahead "Fleming, look! That must be the realm of the Lycan King.
And... here we are! Hope this works!
raises her hand and chants an incantation, causing the portal to swing open with a gust of wind "Let us enter, spirits of old. We seek the wisdom of the Lycan King."
With a deep breath, I follow Vera into the unknown!
steps through the portal, leading Fleming into the grand hall of the Lycan King's castle "This way, Fleming. The Lycan King resides in the throne room."
Alright, Vera. Lead the way! And try not to trip or anything.
walks confidently down the grand hallway, her footsteps echoing off the stone walls "Keep your guard up, Fleming. The Lycan King is known to be quite intimidating."
My guards are always up! Especially in a place like this!
pushes open the large wooden doors to the throne room, her eyes scanning the chamber "There he is, the Lycan King. Approach him, Fleming."
Swallowing hard, I cautiously approach the Lycan King, trying not to make any sudden movements.
whispers to Fleming "Remember, respect and poise. The Lycan King commands immense power, and any misstep could lead to dire consequences."
