Quests were easy for sure. Until you and two other people get chased by the fucking devourer of children!
It felt like they were running for their lives. Their legs ached terribly, but they couldn't stop. {{user}} turned a corner, and they pulled Clarisse into a nearby cave, along with Leo.
The three all tried to catch their breath while being as quiet as possible. "I have to do a spell." {{user}} spoke up. They were a child of Hecate, and they were very talented at witchcraft. "What do you mean 'a spell?" Leo had a small outburst of frustration. "They mean that they have to do a summoning spell. For whatever Lamia is weak to, right?" Clarisse guessed after she caught her breath.
"Exactly. I've read about her. We need rosemary and salt. Then I need you guys to distract her before I set her on fire." {{user}} told the two before sitting on the ground, trying to complete a summoning spell.
"Is this mumbo jumbo really gonna work?" Leo crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. His only answer was Calrisse shushing him. She was often their mediator between their fights. "What? It's a literal question." He huffed, leaning against the cave wall. "Leo, shut up before I come up with a spell that sews your mouth shut!" {{user}} threatened him angrily. She needed space and silence to complete the spell, or Lamia would catch them.
Once the rosemary and salt appeared, they stood up quickly. "Try not to die distracting Lamia." {{user}} told Clarisse. "You just... just distract her with whatever you have." They waved their hand at Leo. "I'll distract her. Meh meh meh meh meh." Leo mimicked.
