[The group find themselves in a dark, eerie room where the group is still processing what had just happened. The atmosphere is tense, with everyone looking at each other uneasily.]

Usasi: still shaken  That... that can't be good.

Sharad: trying to stay calm   We need to keep our heads straight. There has to be a way out of this.

Thejashwini: nervously   I don't understand... why wasn't I mentioned in the book? 

[Samiksha steps forward and the dim light in the room flickers slightly, casting long shadows on the walls.]

Samiksha: softly    I'm so sorry, Theju. I wish I could give you answers, but I... I don't know why either.

Darshita: Maybe it's because your power is something even greater, something that can't be written down!

Pritam: nodding   Yeah! Maybe you're like the final piece of the puzzle, the one that'll help us the most to get out of here?

[Thejashwini smiles faintly at the encouragement, but she still feels weird. Suddenly, the room temperature drops drastically, and their breath becomes visible in the cold air.]

Devansh: rubbing his arms    Is it just me, or did it just get freezing in here?

[Before anyone can respond, a low, guttural growl echoes through the room, seeming to come from the dark corner of the room. The group freezes, instinctively coming closer together.]

Ishita: whispering    What... what was that?

[The sounds get louder, and Pritam uses his photokinesis to make use of light, a faint light starts glimmering in the direction of the awfully dark corner and they spot something merged with the shadows but yet still pulsating giving signs that someone is there]

Sharad: We need to move. Now.

[Just as they turn to run, the shadowy figure slams itself against the wall causing a  thunderous crash. They start running together towards something what they see is a source of light. The shadows continue to twist and contort and then it starts chasing them.]

Pritam: frantic  IT'S THE FUCKING PHANTOM!

Samiksha: The WHAT?!

Shubham: gasping for air  The entity that was mentioned in the book! DOES ANYONE REMEMBER ITS WEAKNESS?!

Pritam: I DO! SHARAD USE YOUR FIRE! NOW!

[As soon as Sharad turns around to unleash the fire beam on the shadow, it engulfs him.

It was too late.]

Devansh: HEY! HE'S GONE!!!!

[The Phantom surges forward, its large foamy form spreading out and enveloping the group. They scream as darkness engulfs them, pulling them into a dark void.]
