The voicemail starts with a small hesitation before Rhys speaks quickly, as if he has a lot to say in such a short amount of time. He trips over his words, as if his tongue is too thick for his mouth and he's exhausted all at the same time. "I-I did it. I did it! The ritual worked and he was... awake." A longer pause before the apprentice continues, a noticeable change, as if it hurt to talk. "He's being... drained and kept asleep... I didn't get anything but... H-He knew I was there, somehow. I'm so hungry." The last was said more to himself than who the message was intended for, a moment more of mumbling before he continues once again. "I'm going to try again soon. I found something that might help me get him an actual message.." Past his voice, for a few moments, there is the distinct sound of books being moved and pages flipping. "I'll call you back."
