Chapter 17

       ........................................

Mia took a deep breath.

Mia:We need to perform a ritual to cleanse you of the supernatural energy.But it's going to require us to summon a powerful entity......one that may not be willing to help us.

Mia began to gather various items from around the cottage, including candles,herbs,and a small, leather-bound book.

Mia: We'll need to create a sacred circle to certain the entity's power.Alex, can help me draw the symbols on the floor?

Alex nodded, his eyes fixed on the items Mia was gathering.

Alex: What's the entity's name?

Mia hesitated,her eyes darting towards Kai.

Mia: We'll be summoning and calling on a being from another dimension, known as the"KEEPER OF THE BALANCE". It's a powerful entity that can help cleanse flowing through you, Alex.

Kai's face was grim.

Kai:But at what cost?we don't know what the keeper will demand in exchange for it's help.

Mia's expression was determined.

Mia: We'll cross the bridge when we get there.First,we need to prepare for the ritual.

As they worked and prepared for the ritual, Alex couldn't shake the feeling that they were playing with forces beyond their control.

Suddenly,the air seemed to tear apart, and a figure appeared in the center of the circle.

it was the"KEEPER OF THE BALANCE".The keeper was a towering figure, with skin like dark coal and eyes that burned with an inner fire.

It spoke in a voice that was like thunder, shaking the very foundations of the cottage.

Keeper:Why have you summoned me?

Mia stepped forward,her eyes looked on the Keeper's.

Mia:We need your help,oh, great one.Our friend Alex has been infected with supernatural energy beyond his control, and we need your power to cleanse him.

The Keeper's gaze turned to Alex,and he felt a jolt of electricity run through his body.

Keeper:I sense the darkness within him.But I also sense something more... something that could change the balance of power forever.

The Keeper's eyes seemed to bore into Alex's soul,as if he was searching for something deep within him...
