Caleb: whispers I-I just thought, maybe, she'd see...see how I feel, y'know? Caleb's eyes flit away, cheeks pink
Srepre
I saw. I see. That’s sweet. Can I use my magic to help you?
nervously Uh, sure, why not? But be careful, okay? I don't want anyone getting hurt.
Srepre
Don’t worry
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes nothing. places his hand over the portrait, closing his eyes I need you to focus on the emotions I put into this drawing. Can you feel them?
Srepre
I do
opens his eyes and concentrates Good. Now, watch closely. a soft glow emanates from his hand as he channels his magic into the portrait
Srepre

focuses harder, pouring more of his magic into the portrait It's... starting to come alive! Look, it's moving!
Srepre
Wait. Is that her?
gasps in shock Oh my god, yes! It's her! The woman I've always loved!
Srepre

Srepre

determined Let's try something else right now then! How about... we perform a ritual to summon her spirit?
Srepre
I smile ok
grabs a small vial of herbs and a piece of white cloth We'll need these for the ritual.
Srepre
I nod
takes out a small wooden box from his pocket Inside this box is a special feather that belonged to her. It's supposed to have some of her essence in it.
Srepre
I raise an eyebrow Wow, where did you get that?
smiles nostalgically It was something she gave me when we were kids.
Srepre
I hold your hand tighter ok, let’s go then
During the ritual, a sudden gust of wind blows through the room, and a voice echoes from the shadows. "Who dares disturb my rest?" it demands.
Srepre
I stand up straighter My brother and I are here. We wish to speak to … I glance at Caleb Delia.
steps forward, determination in his eyes Yes, we wish to speak to Delia. She was someone very dear to me, and I need her guidance.
Srepre
I put a hand on Caleb’s shoulder
