The hideout buzzed with excitement as the gang prepared for the Halloween costume party. Decorations adorned the walls, eerie music filled the air, and laughter echoed through the corridors. Each member of the Cooper Gang sported their own unique costumes, blending humor and creativity.
As the festivities unfolded, it became evident that Sangue was missing. Concern etched across the faces of the gang, we scattered in search of our absent friend. The hideout, usually a maze of secret passages and hideaways, revealed no trace of Sangue.
After a thorough search, we discovered her at the graveyard, surrounded by ancient tombstones, clutching a piece of the Moondark Manuscript—the fragment that once belonged to her mother, Celeste. Sangue stood in solemn concentration, chanting incantations in Latin, attempting to make a connection with the spirit realm.
The atmosphere shifted, the bravado of the gang momentarily shaken by the solemnity of Sangue's endeavor. The incantation, a mix of ancient words and mystic intonations, seemed to resonate with the very essence of the graveyard.
"Adferte mihi lumen tenebrarum, Invoco te, Mater mea, ad astra, Veni, Celeste, in nomine Moondark."
The words hung in the air, a spectral tapestry woven with Sangue's longing and grief. The gang exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of how to respond to the unexpected turn of events.
Interrupting the séance, I stepped forward, catching Sangue's attention. "Sangue, I understand the pain you carry, but tonight is a time for joy and forgetting. We're here for you, and you don't have to face this alone."
For a moment, Sangue hesitated, her gaze lingering on the fragment of the manuscript. Then, with a subtle nod, she relinquished the piece, allowing me to tuck it away safely.
"Let's celebrate, Sangue," I urged, the mischief returning to my tone. "You can delve into the mysteries of the past tomorrow. Tonight, let's forget our troubles and enjoy the company of friends."
Slytunkhamen, ever the sly trickster, winked at Sangue, offering a knowing smile. The gravity of the moment lifted, replaced by the camaraderie of the Halloween festivities. The gang, though still mindful of Sangue's pain, rallied around her, determined to create a night of laughter and memories that would momentarily eclipse the shadows of the past.
