Scene 7 "Moonlit Redemption: The Liberation of the Mare"

 The investigators, armed with the knowledge from one of the journals, set out to locate the Mare bound within an old well on the Thulin estate. As they arrived at the well, the eerie atmosphere of the night was palpable.

The Well:

• The well stood as a weathered stone structure, its stones worn and aged by time. Moss and ivy crept up its sides, giving it an aura of ancient mystery.
• The moon hung full and luminous in the midnight sky, casting an eerie, silver glow over the estate. Its light illuminated the well, creating ghostly reflections on the water below.

Spooky Atmosphere:

• A hushed stillness enveloped the area, broken only by the occasional rustling of leaves and the distant cries of nocturnal creatures.
• Shadows danced and played tricks on the investigators' eyes, as if the very night itself held secrets.

With ropes they had found in the tool shed, the investigators carefully descended into the well, the damp stone walls echoing their footsteps as they descended deeper into the darkness. At the bottom, they found themselves in a dimly lit chamber, the water below glistening like a pool of liquid silver.

The Conversation with the Mare: In the eerie quiet of the chamber, they initiated a conversation with the Mare, whose presence seemed to materialize from the depths. A faint, ethereal figure began to coalesce before them.

• The Mare appeared apprehensive, its form shimmering in the moonlight. It seemed to fixate on Janet, its reaction suggesting an uncanny connection between them.
• As the investigators questioned the Mare and listened to its story, they sensed its unease and fear, and it became apparent that it had been bound against its will, trapped in the well by malevolent forces from the past.
• After a tense exchange, the Mare, spooked by Janet's presence, agreed to leave in peace if they would free it from its confinement. It seemed desperate to escape the well and the torment it had endured for so long.

With a solemn understanding, the investigators began to unravel the magic that bound the Mare, working together to release it from its centuries-old prison. As the last of the enchantments faded, the Mare's form gradually dissipated, and with a final, haunting whisper, it was gone.

The moon, now a symbol of both mystery and resolution, watched over them as they ascended from the well, their task complete. The Thulin estate would forever bear the memory of their encounter with the Mare, a chapter of supernatural history that had come to a close.
