There was only one option: jump into the thickening smoke. A dark mist swirled around the hall like a coiled snake. The sound of the wind was slapping in the ears.
Gina and Emelle ignored their surroundings as if nothing had happened as they enjoyed the combination of the sound of the jaw harp and the summoning spell's chanting.
Zeryon decided to approach directly, even though it would endanger himself.
"Gina! Stop singing the spell!" Zeryon screamed.
There was a thumping sound and a woman's scream brought the singing to a halt.
"Disaster!" A middle-aged woman pelted Gina and Emelle with a bucket of water so that they were both drenched and stopped their duet.
Slowly the dark aura evaporated and disappeared. Whirlwind and smoke had faded. The smell of darkness was gone, but it was still enough to make Zeryon shudder.
Emelle and Gina were stunned and froze for a moment. Their mouths were agape as they looked at the wet clothes.
