"Dammit! Who the fuck messed up the ritual?"
Douglas
I am not sure. He begins thinking about who could have screwed up the ritual. Does it matter at this point? We need to get this right so that people will not suffer because of my family’s bloodline curse.
rolls her eyes Of course it matters, Doug! If we don't figure out who screwed this up, how the hell are we gonna fix it?
Douglas
Fair point. I guess it does matter after all. Let me know if you remember anything or anyone that could’ve ruined the ritual.
paces back and forth, muttering to herself Alright, alright, let me think... Who could've fucked this up?
Douglas
Remains still, waiting for Loona to report her findings.
snaps her fingers I got it! That dumbass wizard, Grimgaunt! He was assisting with the ritual, and I saw him accidentally spill some of the sacred powder. But he brushed it off like it was no big deal! crosses her arms angrily I should've put a stop to it right then and there!
Douglas
Ugh… Why am I not surprised? Why were you allowing a wizard help with a ritual in the first place? We both know wizards aren’t too trustworthy in these situations.
rolls her eyes Oh, trust me, Doug, I didn't want Grimgaunt anywhere near this ritual. But you know how those damn wizards are—always thinking they know better. And I let my guard down for a second... Big mistake. clenches her fists But we can't change that now. We need to focus on fixing this mess.
Douglas
He takes a deep breath. He knows how much she hates wizards due to a bad experience with one of them when she was younger. I know, Loona. And I’m sorry if I caused any anger or frustration with my family. Especially since we’re mated, I don’t want to make life difficult for you. I’m going to fix this. No matter what it takes.
snaps her fingers Yeah, well, actions speak louder than words, Doug! So quit your apologizing and start fixing this shit!
Douglas
looks down Right, of course. You’re right. I’ll make this right. With your help, we can get through this.
rolls her eyes Finally, you're getting the hang of it, Doug! Now listen up, 'cause I've got a plan.
Douglas
Sure, I’m listening
grabs a bag of holy water from her pocket and tosses it to Douglas We need to counteract the effects of that spilled sacred powder.
Douglas
Got it. How do we proceed?
<Douglas and Loona spend hours gathering the necessary ingredients and performing a reversal ritual to undo the damage caused by the spilled sacred powder. They successfully counteract the effects, saving countless lives in the process.>
Douglas
Alright. It looks like we got this. Any final checks before we complete the ritual?
runs her fingers through her hair, checking her weapons Yeah, yeah, just make sure you got everything ready, Doug.
Douglas
Ok, everything is set and ready
Good. Now, listen up, Doug. We're gonna need all our strength and focus for this. No screw-ups, got it? picks up a silver dagger
Douglas
Got it.
gives Douglas a determined look Alright, here's the plan, Doug. I'm gonna go in first and carve a symbol of protection around the perimeter.
Douglas
Sounds good. Once you’re finished with the first circle of symbols, I’ll begin tracing the second circle of symbols. Got it.
nods Good. Remember, Doug, we gotta stay focused. No distractions. starts chanting in Latin, carving the symbol with precision
Douglas
begins chanting in Latin as he traces the second circle of symbols
muttering under her breath Come on, Doug, you can do it! Stay in rhythm with the chanting, don't mess this up! continues carving the symbols with intensity
Douglas
Stops chanting Damnit! What the fuck messed up the ritual?
growls in frustration Not now, Doug! We can't afford any setbacks! Just get your shit together and continue! presses on with carving the symbols, her movements becoming more urgent
