As Aria continues to spin the pen and swing around, she accidentally loses her balance and falls, dropping the pen which shatters on the ground, releasing a dark and ancient force that starts wreaking havoc in Wunderin's place.
Wunderin
jaw drops Shit! What have you done, Aria? We need to stop that thing before it's too late!
scrambles to her feet, panic evident in her voice Oh god, Wunderin, I'm so sorry! How did this happen? We have to contain it, now!
Wunderin
grabs Aria's arm Stay close and don't let go of the pieces. We need to contain this before it spreads. Quick, Aria!
frantically searching for something We need something to put this thing in a box, Wunderin! Where's your emergency containment spellbook?
Wunderin
quickly rummages through a drawer and pulls out a small leather-bound book Got it, Aria. The containment spell is on page 37. Hurry!
starts flipping through the pages frantically Okay, okay, page 37... Ah, here it is! scans the page and starts reciting the spell Contain, contain, contain!
Wunderin
places the broken pen pieces into the circle drawn on the floor The spell is working, Aria. Keep chanting!
