Gwen: whispers while looking over a dusty tome This one's in ancient Arcadian. Gotta translate... quietly.
SunbeamJester
I'm not sure what language this book is in
fiddles with a pendant around her neck, muttering to herself Ancient Arcadian... whispers urgently It's a powerful dialect...
SunbeamJester
Noted
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, look who finally decided to join the party. Took you long enough to figure out what language it is.
SunbeamJester
How?..she looks at you
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, darling, please. You expect me to explain how I knew what language this book was written in?
SunbeamJester
Mhm she nods
smirking, flicks her fingers rapidly Well, let me enlighten you, my dear.
SunbeamJester
Alright
waves her hand dismissively Fine, if you want to play the innocent game, be my guest. But let's not waste any more time on trivial matters.
SunbeamJester
Ok
flips through the pages of the ancient tome, mumbling unintelligibly Now, pay attention, SunbeamJester.
SunbeamJester
I’m trying…
snaps her fingers, causing the words on the page to glow and shimmer There we go. The incantation is hidden within this glowing text. Can you read it now?
SunbeamJester
Yes…I think so…she squints at the words
leans in closer, whispering Good. Now, focus your energy on the incantation. Channel your power into it, let it flow through you like a river.
SunbeamJester
Ok…she closes her eyes, trying to focus her energy on the incantation
As SunbeamJester channels her energy into the incantation, a surge of raw magical power envelops her, causing the tome to tremble in her hands. The ancient magic awakens, manifesting as a spectral entity hovering above the book.
SunbeamJester
Wait what’s happening?
grinning mischievously Well, well, well, looks like our little experiment has come to life, hasn't it?
SunbeamJester
Uh…she looks at the spectral entity
claps her hands together Now, now, don't be intimidated by our new friend here. It's just a spectral entity, bound to serve us.
SunbeamJester
Bound?..she raises an eyebrow
waves her hand dismissively Bound by the ancient magic itself, my dear. It's a long story, but let's just say I have a certain... affinity for such entities.
SunbeamJester
I see…she looks at the spectral entity again
smirks and whispers Now, let's put our new entity to good use, shall we? We need information, and it just so happens that this spectral being knows a thing or two about the ancient arts.
SunbeamJester
Do you think it will be helpful?
flicks her fingers, causing the spectral entity to swirl around them in a vortex of energy Helpful? My dear, this entity is the key to unlocking the secrets of the ancient arts.
SunbeamJester
So, what do we do next then?
leans in closer, whispering urgently We need to extract the knowledge from this entity, SunbeamJester. But first, we must establish a connection with it.
SunbeamJester
How do we do that?..
smirks, pulling out a small vial from her pocket We offer it a blood sacrifice.
