<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#a64dff"><i>As the bottle began to fall to the floor the imps that clung to the hall screeched loudly, the sound sounded like a mix of fear and anger as the small bottle fell through the air. A few of them leaped from the walls towards the falling bottle, but many others hurried out of the cathedral through the holes in the windows above. But despite the imps attempts to reach the bottle and the valiant effort made by Becca (<a class="username" data-user-id="6011" data-username="@Deviant" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/6011/">@Deviant</a>) to stop its fall it was all in vain. As the bottle smashed with a slight shattering noise on the cobblestone floor. The music immediately stopped, leaving only a strangely eerie silence in its wake.</i><br/>
<br/>
<i>The contents of the bottle exploded out, it seemed to be filled with dust as when it broke open it sent tendrils of dark smokey particles all over the ground. They slowly covered there above the ground like a strange fog for a few seconds as everyone gathered themselves. But it did not remain so mundane.</i><br/>
<br/>
<i>Within the next few moments, the smoke began to build and grow, towering upwards and seeming to convulse before everyone's eyes. The once peaceful atmosphere of the cathedral had changed quickly to one of dread and fear. These emotions seemed to radiate from the building cloud as it grew and grew. Before finally stopping and remaining strangely still. A weird voice emanating from the began to sound across the cathedral, the voice was deep but it didn't sound overly male or female.</i><br/>
<br/>
"Thank you all, for freeing me. You did marvelously, much better than the others."<br/>
<br/>
<i>If anyone were to look around now, without the strange soothing melody filling the cathedral it seemed to have lost some of the illusion that filled the space. Skulls and bones sat littered across the cobblestone floor and atop the old wooden pews. They seemed to have been there the entire time but they were hidden by the magic of the song. Likely previous people who fell into this trap but failed to free the specter. </i><br/>
<br/>
"I have no further need for any of you and you are free to go if you like."<i> The specter waved a hand from under his cloud of dark fog. to which one of the doorways opened to the side of the cathedral. Not much could be seen beyond it but a strange wind seemed to whip across its surface. Leaves blocking the view much like how they all came to be here. </i>"Leave this place for good and upon stepping through that doorway you will find your hearts deepest desire is true." <i>Though despite the promise, the way the specter would have said it would have seemed at least a slight concerning.</i><br/>
<br/>
<i>The specter said once more as it began to shift through the group towards the other door at the end of the cathedral. Phasing through the cracks around it as it left the cathedral seemingly as quickly as it came. A slight clicking sound heard from the door just after the specter vanished.</i><br/>
<br/>
<i>And as the group was left in silence, they would notice the magnificent tree at the center would begin to wilt and die. It's golden leaves beginning to turn brown and curl in on themselves before they began to fall gently atop the group's heads.</i></span><br/><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
