The day of the celestial eclipse arrived, casting an ominous shadow over Bayou Bleu.
Sophia, Bastien, and Mère Jalouse prepared for the ritual to communicate with Sabine's spirit.
Within the ancient ritual site, surrounded by candles and mystic symbols, Mère Jalouse began the incantation.
As the moon eclipsed the sun, the veil between worlds thinned.
Sabine's ethereal form materialized before them.
"Find...the...keystone," Sabine's spirit whispered.
"What keystone?" Sophia asked.
Bastien's eyes narrowed. "The LaMorte estate's hidden chamber."
Adèle LaMorte appeared, her eyes blazing with malice.
"You'll never leave this place alive," Adèle snarled.
Bastien transformed into his loup-garou form, ready to defend Sophia and Mère Jalouse.
As the battle raged, Sophia slipped away, determined to find the keystone.
In the hidden chamber, Sophia discovered an ancient artifact – a crescent moon pendant.
The pendant glowed, revealing an inscription:
"Blood of Dubois, heart of LaMorte."
Suddenly, Adèle appeared, her fangs bared.
"You'll never stop the prophecy," Adèle hissed.
Sophia stood firm, pendant in hand.
"I'll shatter your curse," Sophia declared.
The eclipse reached its peak.
Fates would be decided.
Will Sophia and Bastien succeed?
Or will Adèle's darkness consume Bayou Bleu?
To be continued...
