The air in Herkleton Oaks took a sinister turn as Magica, the loyal raven companion to Raven Noir, witnessed King Xavier and his minions reciting an incantation known as "The Sleeping Whisper." The dark magic unfolded like a malevolent melody, casting an enchantment that echoed through the Creek.
Magica, sensing the impending danger, cawed urgently and flew towards the window of Tabitha and Courtney's abode. Mortimor, perceptive to the distress in Magica's calls, nuzzled at her beak, a gesture of comfort and understanding.
Tabitha, noticing Magica's distress, inquired, "Magica, where's Raven?" The raven, perching on a porch, began to tap with her beak in Morse code, a cryptic message that Lady Seraphina alone could decipher.
In the rhythmic tapping, Magica conveyed, "The King bewitched her. In shadows, she sleeps in eternal bliss. The only way to break the spell is midnight's pale, first kiss."
Meanwhile, in a hidden chamber of his castle, King Xavier, fueled by malevolence, while Raven was bound and gagged, recited the incantation to lull Raven Noir into a seemingly forever slumber:
"By shadows deep and whispers dark,
In dreams profound, leave your mark.
Sleep, dear Raven, on tranquil night,
In slumber's grasp, you'll find your light.
The Sleeping Whisper, ancient and deep,
Into the shadows, eternal sleep."
As the incantation resonated through the Creek, Lady Seraphina, the mystical guardian, sensed the disturbance. Her ancient eyes widened as she deciphered Magica's morse code message. With a solemn nod, she spoke to the witches and the gathered allies:
"Midnight's pale, first kiss is the key,
To break the spell and set her free.
Through shadows' dance and moonlit grace,
The Creek unites to find her place."
The Creek, now a stage for both dark enchantments and the impending quest to rescue Raven, brimmed with a palpable tension. The alliance of witches, stump kids, and now the united families, prepared to confront the forces that threatened to shroud Herkleton Oaks in eternal shadows.
