Chapter 67

Althea paced nervously outside the ritual chamber, the warm breeze offering little comfort to the turmoil within her. She wondered about Fiona's cryptic words, a frown etched across her forehead. Tiana and Tim exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting the uncertainty that lingered in the air.

"Althea, what was that back there?" Tiana inquired, her voice laden with concern.

Althea sighed, her gaze fixed on the moonlit sky. "I don't know, Tiana. This ritual is supposed to help us understand what's happening, but it's like navigating through a maze blindfolded."

Tim, scratching his head, added, "That possessed act Fiona pulled? It's the stuff of horror stories. What if there's something darker at play here?"

The trio fell into a contemplative silence, the sounds of the night emphasizing the weight of the situation. Althea's mind echoed with the unsettling words Fiona had spoken during the ritual.
