whispers This place... gives me the creeps ๐จ. You feel it too?
CrystalLagoon
Marie, itโs me, Crystal! CrystalLagoon!
OMG!!! Crystallagoon!!! It's really you!!! ๐ฑ I've missed you so much!!! ๐ฅฐ๐ Come here, let's hug!!!
CrystalLagoon
Me too Marie!! You look gorgeous!!!
Aw, thank you!!! You're looking pretty good yourself!!! So, have you been doing well? How's life been treating you?
CrystalLagoon
The same actually.. I just got an unexpected inheritance from my late uncle, and now Iโm here.. hoping to find you since weโre sisters.
Sisters?! ๐คฉ Wait, what do you mean by inheritance? What did you inherit?
CrystalLagoon
Uncle Gabrielโs will actually. But enough about that, come on! Letโs explore the mansion and our history.
Oh, okay!!! Sounds fun!!! Let's go check it out!!! ๐ค๐
CrystalLagoon
Alright. Just a tip, some areas of the mansion arenโt stable, be careful. Lead the way, miss adventurous one. ๐ค
Alright, I'll be careful!!! Let's go explore and uncover the mysteries of this place!!! ๐๐ She leads the way, cautiously navigating through the dark corridors.
CrystalLagoon
Huh, this room seems especially interesting. What could be hidden under all that dust? Let's clean it up and see what we find! ๐ง๐ช
That's a great idea!!! Let's get some dustpans and brooms and clean this place up!!! ๐๐ช She starts sweeping away the dust and dirt, revealing a hidden compartment beneath.
CrystalLagoon
In the compartment, they found an old safe. Well, what do we have here? A safe?! What could be inside? Letโs open it and see! ๐ค๐
Ooh, this is getting exciting!!! ๐ Let's try opening it and see what's inside!!! ๐คซ๐ญ She starts fiddling with the lock, trying to find the combination.
CrystalLagoon
I think I have the combination.. It was my birthday when my uncle died, so the combo would be 06111988. Letโs see if it works! ๐๐ค
Oh, you think that might work? Let's give it a try!!! ๐๐ She enters the combination and turns the handle, the safe creaks open. Woah, what's inside?! ๐ฒ๐
CrystalLagoon
Inside the safe were two wands. What are these? Wands?! For magic or something? ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ฎ
Magic?! ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ฎ Oh, that would be so awesome!!! Let's try them out and see what they can do!!! ๐โจ She picks up one of the wands and points it at a nearby bookshelf.
CrystalLagoon
Alright then, but no turning my sister into a newt or anything like that, alright? ๐๐ฎ
No worries, Crystal!!! I promise I won't turn you into a newt!!! ๐คฃ๐ธ She gives you a reassuring smile before raising her wand and casting a simple levitation spell. Whoosh!!! Look, I'm levitating a book!!! โจ๐
CrystalLagoon
Now thatโs amazing!! And remember, no hexes either.
I won't use any hexes, Crystal!!! ๐คโจ She giggles mischievously, carefully selecting another book from the shelf and levitating it effortlessly. Hey, I think I've got the hang of this!!! ๐โจ
CrystalLagoon
I bet you do! Letโs see how many books you can levitate at once! ๐ชโจ
Okay, challenge accepted!!! ๐ชโจ She concentrates hard, summoning all her magical energy and levitating book after book, creating a towering stack of floating books in mid-air. Ta-dah!!! ๐คฉ๐
CrystalLagoon
Wow, impressive! But remember, donโt make them fall! Or us!
Don't worry, Crystal!!! I've got this under control!!! ๐๐งโโ๏ธ She carefully adjusts her grip on the wand, carefully lowering each book back onto the shelf without letting them fall. Phew, that was intense!!! ๐
๐ But I did it!!!
CrystalLagoon
Suddenly, the lights flicker and the chandelier crashes down, blocking their path. Uh ohโฆ That was part of the original house when built. Letโs hope the house doesnโt continue falling apartโฆ
Oh no!!! ๐ฑ Are we stuck here?! ๐ What should we do? ๐
CrystalLagoon
Hang tight, Iโve got an idea! Iโll use my magic to lift it.. And hopefully, us too.. ๐ฌ๐ฎ
Okay, but be careful, Crystal!!! We don't want you accidentally knocking us out with your spells!!! ๐
๐งโโ๏ธ She looks around for something stable to anchor themselves to as Crystal begins to prepare her spell.
CrystalLagoon
Right, thanks Marie! Iโm as careful as I can be. Here goes nothingโฆ Leviosa! ๐งโโ๏ธโจ
Hangs onto Crystal's arm tightly and braces herself, feeling the intense force of the spell lifting them off the ground. Eek, this is insane!!! We're actually flying!!! ๐คฉโจ
CrystalLagoon
Yes, we are! And to think the whole ceiling was supposed to fall on us! Your quick thinking and my magic saved us. We need to find another way out though. Unfortunately, the east wing may have collapsed.. ๐ฐ๐โโ๏ธ
Oh gosh, we have to find another way out, but where? ๐๐ญ She scans the room for any visible exits or alternative routes, her heart pounding with fear.
CrystalLagoon
East or west, there has to be a door somewhereโฆ But first, the stairs seem sturdy, letโs go down and head south. Maybe the library?
Yeah, the library sounds like a good idea!!! ๐๐ก Let's go check it out!!! She grabs Crystal's hand and leads the way, making sure not to stray too far from the main staircase.
CrystalLagoon
They made it to the library unharmed. Great job so far, Marie! Just a few more sections to explore and then we can start figuring out what to do next. Oh, and no hexes or turning anyone into an animal, remember! ๐๐
Of course, Crystal!!! I promise no hexes or animal transformations!!! ๐๐งโโ๏ธ She walks through the library, admiring the old bookshelves and scanning the shelves for any interesting volumes or hidden compartments. Woah, look at all these books!!! ๐๐ค
CrystalLagoon
Suddenly, the bookshelves started shifting, revealing a secret chamber behind them. As Crystal and Marie looked on, a humanoid figure stepped out from the shadows and began walking towards them..
๐ฑ Who...who is that?! ๐จ What is this secret chamber?! ๐ณ She takes a step back, clutching Crystal's arm tightly, her heart racing as she watches the mysterious figure approach.
CrystalLagoon
Thatโs probably my late uncle, he used to live in the chamber while studying magic. Letโs go, sister. I have a feeling this is connected to our past somehow. And to our future!
Marie nods in agreement and follows CrystalLagoon into the secret chamber, her curiosity piqued as she enters the mysterious space alongside her sister. Her heart pounds in her chest as she takes in the cluttered shelves of dusty books, the dim lighting casting shadows and creating an eerie atmosphere. The air feels thick with the scent of old books and magic. Wow... This place is incredible. So many books... And look at all those strange artifacts over there! She points to a collection of peculiar objects on a nearby table. Have you ever seen anything like them before? ๐๐ง
CrystalLagoon
Nope, and judging by everything, Iโd say those objects are ours! I think they are all magically linked to our bloodline, maybe our motherโs too. Our father was an expert magician, and my uncle followed suit. By the looks of it, so did Mom. Weโre all magically talentedโฆ unfortunately, weโre missing Momโฆ ๐โจ
Marie's eyes widen as she looks around the room, taking in the ancient tomes and mysterious artifacts. She glances at CrystalLagoon, a mix of excitement and uncertainty evident in her eyes. This...this is incredible. I can't believe we're related to all of these powerful magicians! ๐ฎโจ And you're right, Mom must have been incredibly talented too. ๐ข It's such a shame she's not here with us. She pauses for a moment, biting her lip as she contemplates their next move. But...but what should we do now? How do we even begin to unravel all of this? ๐๐ง
CrystalLagoon
Well first, we finish exploring this place and decide where to live. Then we try to gather more information about Mom and Dad, and finally, we find ways to celebrate our magical talents and live happily ever after together! โจ๐ก๐น
Marie's face lights up with a bright smile as she nods enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling with determination and excitement. Yes, exactly!
CrystalLagoon
As Marie continued searching the secret chamber, she noticed a row of crystal balls along one wall, all glowing faintly. Hey Crystal! Look over here! These are glowing, I think theyโre magic! ๐โจ
She carefully walks over to the row of glowing crystal balls, her hands trembling with excitement and anticipation. Wow, these are beautiful! And they're glowing! ๐ฎโจ Do you think they can show us visions of our parents or something? ๐ง๐ฎ I wonder if we can use them to talk to them again... ๐ข๐
