The air in Zara's bedroom grew dense and still, thick with the iron-tang of pig's blood soaking into the floorboards. A vast pentagram, its lines still wet, seemed to drink the faint light, pulsing with a low, inner glow. Four figures stood at its points. Leo scoffed, his green eyes fixed on the empty center with defiant scorn. Maya trembled, her blue eyes wide pools of dread. Finn, his usual charm stripped away, looked pale and drawn, his gaze constantly flicking to Maya's fear. Zara, her blonde hair a chaotic halo, raised her hands, the forbidden grimoire splayed open on her palms. Their chanting began—a low, discordant murmur that seemed to warp the air, pulling something old and hungry into the heart of the room.
