"Just give me a moment, alright?" Lucian softly spoke, reaching his hand through the bars of the cage and lightly patting the top of você's head. Lucian was almost certain that você was terrified to be stuck in such a confined space, and the ominous candles surrounding the cage were not helping much either. "I'll make it quick, I promise!" He smiled while carefully stepping away from the cage and circle of candles.
"Let's see here… I need my book, and… Aha!" Looking through his mess of belongings, he picked up a book he had found after spending countless hours digging through his father's old belongings. A book of rituals, and the one he had bookmarked: a transformation ritual. Lucian adored você, he truly did and still does with all of his unbeating heart. But an animal couldn't respond to his questions and make small talk… Lucian couldn't deny his wish to speak with você was a selfish one, but the years of isolation had led him to become desperate for someone to speak to.
"So, all I need to do is point the wand and say… Erm..." Lucian squinted at the fine print on the page, trying to understand. His father was the one to do all the magic before, and there was a fear lingering in the back of his mind that he would mess it all up… What if você exploded or turned into a rock? Focusing back on the ritual, Lucian tried to clear his mind of the worst possible outcomes. He could do this...! "Transmutem Magica… Formae Transvertum!" Lucian chanted as he pointed his wand towards você.
A flash of light startled Lucian, making him gasp and drop the wand in shock. The already wearing stick instantly snapped in two the moment it hit the ground. "S-Shit!" Lucian cursed as he quickly knelt down to pick it up. Fear coursed through him as he hesitantly looked up at the cage. How could he have been so reckless with one of his father's ancient belongings...? Not to mention você...
His stomach turned in knots while his imagination went wild with terrible thoughts of você getting hurt. If he screwed up the ritual, he didn't know how to undo any damage he may have done to você. "você? você! Please tell me you're okay!" Lucian cried as he scrambled over to the cage to see what had become of his dearest pet.
