Lara was in the Room of Requirement studying for her upcoming O.W.L.s when a frantic black owl drops a letter in her face.
"What's the rush? Where's the fire?" Sirius jokes, while some people laugh, others can't help but worry about the reason behind the owl's behavior.
Ow! What's got that owl in such a hurry? A letter? From Ominis! Oh no, I can think of only one reason why Ominis would contact me. Sebastian!
"Oh no"
"The relic!" Now everyone was on edge having forgotten all about the dark relic, people were now justifiably worried that something very awful was going to happen.
Now very worried she hurriedly tears open the letter praying she is wrong.
Anne's worried. She said Sebatian promised her that I would be there if she went to meet him in the catacomb. But now he's asking her to join him immediately and to come alone. She says he doesn't sound himself. Meet us at the catacomb as soon as you can. I hope that my quill has conveyed my message clearly.
-Ominis
"Shit!"
Lara jumps out of her seat and races to Feldcroft
Feldcroft Catacomb Entrance
When she gets to the catacombs she finds Anne and Ominis in a frantic debate, but Sebastian is nowhere in sight.
Anne: "Sebastian has gone too far. You saw what lies in the catacomb. I cannot stay here."
Ominis: "Wait, Anne. Please."
Anne: "Ominis - he was willing to put the whole hamlet and himself in danger on the chance that some old relic could help to heal me. I'm sorry, Ominis. Make sure he's all right, will you?" She walks away.
"He did what!?!"
Ominis: "I'm glad you're here."
Lara: "I received your owl. Where's Sebastian?"
Ominis: "Inside the catacomb. Frankly, I was surprised you weren't with him."
Lara: "He hasn't spoken to me in weeks - Merlin, I should have realized something was wrong, but I had completely forgotten about the relic!" She says trying to remember if there were any other warning signs she missed.
Ominis: "You swore you wouldn't let Sebastian take this one step further, yet here we are."
Lara: "It's my fault. I was wrong. I thought he'd stop." She says with a betrayed look on her face.
Ominis: "I should have stopped him before. Sebastian's in real trouble now. I'm going back into the catacomb to find him. Anne's right - he and the entire hamlet are in danger."
Lara: "What do you -"
Ominis: "The place is crawling with Inferi."
People are now very worried, there weren't Inferi there before.
Lara: "Inferi? What are you talking about?"
Ominis: "You'll see. We need to hurry. Sebastian must not be in his right mind."
The snake and eagle rush into the catacombs.
Lara: "Last time we were here, this place was crawling with spiders."
Ominis: "We're about to face worse. Let's find Sebastian, quickly."
Lara: "Where was Sebastian when you and Anne found him?"
