[Many of Aather's Alumni elsewhere will notice their candles suddenly light, and the Legacies who did not heed the Call from earlier will notice their keys light up. Through the light of both, Snow White's voice can be heard, desperate and weak, as she urgently pleads for their help:]
The Darkness found its way through the tears in the Story and is running a game of it's own, and your friends are in grave danger! I— I tried to help, but it's captured me here and my power is waning.
I can open the door so that you may fight it head-on, but I'm afraid that will be the limit of what I can do. Please, Heroes, help—!

[As if in response to your sudden arrival, the ink begins to pulls itself off the pages, taking entire words with it, and pools around on the floor before you. With all the ink collected, you find yourself staring at a shapeless mass of shifting feathery tendrils...and you realize you're not looking at mere ink at all.]
[For those of you who look for her, you find Snow White is collapsed on the ground before the small bonfire that brought you here, and you see that she has grey colorless patches all over her body, something that looks quite like stone. You can also see a small iridescent seed in her hand, but you may need to focus on the matter at hand first…]

[ Kazuki stares at the ink-creature warily! Before looking around, taking a note of other alumni and legacies and Snow White too, trying to make sense of the situation and not cave to the pressure. ]

Guess that's the form the darkness is taking this time, then?
Still, ink...? Is that how the Darkness managed to get placed into the story?

[Ink spills down on either side, gushing out like a fountain of blood—but it moves too fast, zig-zagging around the group of knights and heroes. It's black-on-black, but you can make out the glitter of movement in the light of the fading fire. It seems like the ink is trying to surround the heroes, encircling you.]

[Meanwhile, the pile of Velma's clothes and fabric that she tossed at the ink have become soggy and ink-soaked, and are pulling themselves together, upright, like some sort of grotesque puppet, lunging forward—luckily, Star and Shes are hype to attack the darkness, with Kazuki right behind it on the other side, so it's going to get cut down pretty damn fast.]
[There's a loud noise again, like nails on a chalkboard, or something ripping, tearing, and then—quiet. Any remaining ink zig-zags away in a hasty retreat, over papery shreds of wall, forming words—]
