MagicVolcano

Khong: nods Yes, but we must be stealthy. No loud noises. And if anyone tries to stop us, we'll have to deal with them. whispers
MagicVolcano

Khong: points to a nearby book There, that book. Grab it and hide it in your cloak quickly. And remember, no one must know what we're doing here.

MagicVolcano
heads to my home
Khong: pauses outside MagicVolcano's home, looking around cautiously Are you sure this is the place? It feels... strange.
MagicVolcano
yeah I live alone so it's just me
Khong: nods Alright, MagicVolcano. Just remember, once we step inside, there's no turning back. The tome we stole holds immense power.
MagicVolcano
opens the door
Khong: takes a deep breath Very well, MagicVolcano. steps inside the house, glancing around
MagicVolcano
welcome to my humble home
As Khong and MagicVolcano settle in, strange things begin to happen around them. Objects move on their own, and eerie whispers fill the air. The tome's dark power is awakening, and they realize they cannot escape their fate.
MagicVolcano
...I guess you're not comfortable yet. wanna change that book?
Khong: shakes their head No, MagicVolcano. This book is too dangerous to change. We need to find a way to contain its power.
MagicVolcano
looks for something to contain the power of the book
Khong: examines the book carefully Hmm... I think I might have an idea. pulls out a small pouch filled with crystals
MagicVolcano
?
Khong: grabs a crystal and holds it up to the tome These crystals have a special property - they absorb magical energy.
MagicVolcano
places the book on the table
Khong: quickly places the crystal on top of the tome Hold on, MagicVolcano. This should absorb some of the book's power.
MagicVolcano
watches as the crystal turns black
Khong: smirks Looks like it's working. The power is being absorbed. replaces the crystal with another one
