Re: Chapter 8: The Ceremony
Balzac stares aghast at the critter, whimpering. The only thing saving his mind is his abject failure to really understand what it is. (It may be a good thing there is nothing left for him to regurgitate.)

Re: Chapter 8: The Ceremony
The appearance of the creature is more than Balzac can bear. He is almost catatonic now. Perhaps it is his experiences as a battlefield surgeon, which have somewhat numbed him to horror, which save him from going completely over the edge. Nonetheless, he can no longer function in the sight of the awful creature which is hovering before him.
Alice too has lapsed into shocked silence, the sight of the creature is the final straw for her. But her earlier inspiration continues – Isadora and Henry have managed to find the strength within themselves to finish what they started. They continue chanting, and the hour reaches 2 am.
The creature begins to wail, its many snapping mouths issuing cries of distress and anger as it begins to dissipate and fade from view. Thrashing around in frustration, bound by the pentagram, it struggles to maintain its grip on our world.

"The powder!" cries Alice. "Are we supposed to throw it on the creature?"

Henry takes the powder from Balzac and throws it over the creature.

Re: Chapter 8: The Ceremony
As the powder hits it, just for the faintest moment, the creature seems whole, no longer transparent. This is the final indignity. It screams in rage and frustration, and then it is gone. The familiar whistling noise is heard for the last time as the air seems to be sucked back into the space in our dimension which the creature had occupied.
The reanimated dead at the windows collapse; the power has left them. Our heroes too fall, exhausted by the night’s trial. Too shocked and tired to speak, they lay numbly upon the floor, eyes fixed on the place the creature which tormented them for what seems like an eternity, finally left this world.

Henry clutches Alice:
"Are you ... alright?"
Then to Isadora:
"Have we defeated it Mrs Carmichael?"

"I...I think so..." mutters Alice weakly, resting the back of her hand on her forehead.

Isadora Carmichael
Isadora slowly gets up form the floor, walks a few steps, and collapses onto a chair. She's never been so tired. She doesn't dare to look towards the circle - she's afraid the entity might flicker back to existence.
"I... I think so, yes..." she mumbles to Henry's question.

"I don't blame you, Mr. Glynn."
Isadora clearly has more to say, but she is too exhausted.
