Drawing intricate symbols on the forest floor, her hands quivering slightly I-I'm doing this... for us.
EtherealOasis
ok
Her voice trembling I know it may seem strange, but I have to do this. Nephy takes a deep breath, gathering her courage. Just stay close to me.
EtherealOasis
mhm
Looks around nervously, whispers Alright... here goes nothing. Nephy begins chanting in an ancient language, her voice getting louder with each word.
EtherealOasis
I got something to drink if ur thirsty
Glances at EtherealOasis and smiles, then returns her focus to the ritual, her voice becoming more confident No, thank you...
EtherealOasis
sure because you know we only have 3 hours left until midnight so how about gives her bottle of water be fast we don’t have much time
Takes the bottle of water, quickly drinks it, then continues chanting Thank you...
EtherealOasis
okay well i’ll be over there while your doing your thing so have fun
Her voice growing stronger as she continues chanting I can do this... for us...
EtherealOasis
waiting over there
Suddenly, a blinding flash of light engulfs the glade, and a powerful gust of wind blows through, rustling the leaves and knocking over nearby trees.
EtherealOasis
Huh? What’s going on!?
Stumbles back, gasping for breath, her eyes wide with shock It worked... we did it... Looks over at EtherealOasis, a tear of joy streaming down her cheek EtherealOasis... we're free...
EtherealOasis
Really?
<As they celebrate their newfound freedom, Nephy realizes that the ritual has unanticipated consequences. The ancient deity summoned by Nephy begins to exert a malevolent influence over the world, causing chaos and destruction.>
EtherealOasis
oh shit what’s happening
Rushing over to EtherealOasis, panic in her voice We need to stop it... we have to... EtherealOasis, we can't let this destruction continue...
EtherealOasis
How? What do we do?
Grabs EtherealOasis's hand, her eyes filled with determination We need to find a way to reverse this... to banish the deity back to its realm.
EtherealOasis
Did you get any powers from the god you called or something?
Sighs heavily, thinking quickly No, I didn't receive any powers... but maybe there's something else we can do.
EtherealOasis
What? Think of something!
Biting her lower lip anxiously, her mind racing Okay, okay... I think I remember reading about something called the "Sacred Chalice of Light".
EtherealOasis
Where is it?
Gestures towards a hidden cave entrance It's said to be hidden deep within this cave...
EtherealOasis
I mean it could be fake
Grabs EtherealOasis's arm, urgency in her voice We have to try! If there's even a chance it can save us, we have to go after it.
EtherealOasis
Alright alright let’s get going
Takes out a map and unfolds it, pointing to the cave entrance
EtherealOasis
Sees the map got it let’s go
Quickly rummages through her bag, pulling out a flashlight and handing it to EtherealOasis Here, take this. We'll need all the light we can get in there.
EtherealOasis
puts the flashlight on
Checks her supplies, making sure she has enough food, water, and healing potions EtherealOasis, we should be prepared for anything.
EtherealOasis
Like what? What could possibly go wrong?
<As Nephy and EtherealOasis venture into the cave, they encounter a horde of dangerous creatures lurking in the darkness, testing their survival skills and pushing them to their limits.>
EtherealOasis
Holy shit! Look out!
Swings her staff, deflecting a creature's attack Stay close, EtherealOasis! We need to stick together!
