Round 26 Transcript

As Halie rushes towards the hidden pit, her torches casting flickering shadows on the walls, she hears Varrika shout, "Wait!" The fighter takes a step forward, their mace at the ready, as if prepared to defend Halie from Jeane's wrath. Halie hesitates, torn between her desire to rescue Seraphine and her fear of Jeane's escalating power. Meanwhile, Jeane's voice echoes through the chamber, "You're too late, sister! My ascension will not be denied!" The Time-Splitting Sword's glow intensifies, illuminating the dark recesses of the pit, where Seraphine's cries for help grow fainter.

I feel her doubt like a physical blow—Halie doesn't understand! The runes responded to my touch, this is REAL magic, not corruption! I won't let her die down there—I have to prove Halie wrong before she convinces the others I'm some demon-possessed monster. Seraphine's screams echo up from below—the time-splitting sword calls to me with visions of power and freedom for all of us trapped in these cursed woods! If we lose her now... no, I won't let that happen!

I can't stand here doing nothing while she's falling into some hellhole! Varrika, I understand your concern but we have to move now or it may be too late for any of us.
