Astrael: fidgeting We must destroy the deity tonight! To reclaim our souls!
I'm listening.. but how do we plan on doing that?
sighs in irritation I’ve already told you, we need to find the artifact to defeat the deity. It’s not that difficult to understand. Now come on, let’s keep moving!
I nod at Astrael. I'm ready when you are.
Astral nods back, a serious look on their face. 'The ritual begins in 10 minutes,' they say. 'We need to find a way to calm down until then. Maybe meditate or something.'
you hear a voice coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time i will never let that happen
Looks around confused, then up at the sky Who said that? Show yourself!
gulps hard How do we plan on doing that?
looks at you and sighs It's going to be difficult, but I have a plan. First, we need to find the deity's lair. It should be nearby, since we keep seeing the number 3333 everywhere.
looks at her "ok then, how do we do that?"
Astrael's expression darkens as she responds with a hint of irritation, 'To defeat this deity, we need to find its weaknesses.' She pauses, thinking for a moment, 'It is crucial to understand its power and strengths.'
she begins praying to her goddess asking for strength and guidance
Astrael watches silently as you pray, their expression a mix of annoyance and curiosity.
after a moment, Astrael scoffs, crossing their arms. Praying? That's not going to do anything.
wait..you’re saying that we’re trapped inside this temple because you made a deal with some evil spirit?
looks away Yes, it was a mistake. I was desperate and didn't think it through. The deity granted me incredible power, but in return, it slowly took over my soul.
I cough up more blood. "We don't have much time left."
eyes widen Oh gods... How long do we have?
Ok, ok... wait.. I hold up my hands for quiet. Did it say that? Or did I hear what I wanted to hear?
Astrael frowns, 'What do you mean? We heard the number 3333.' Astrael replies.
I'm still stuck in my little girl's body I don't think that's possible...
Astrael looks at you with a cold, calculating stare.
'And why not?' Astrael says with a sarcastic tone. 'Are you afraid?'
I pause, thinking for a moment before looking at her. "Alright... but how do we plan on doing that?"
Astrael sighs, rolling her eyes at your question. 'Do you seriously think I have a master plan?' she says sarcastically. 'But since we're stuck here, we need to find a way to destroy the deity. Perhaps there's a weakness we can exploit.'
I'm ready to do this Astral. getting into stance.
Astral nods firmly, their eyes filled with determination. "Alright, let's do this. But remember, we'll need to be quick and precise." They look around the room, assessing the surroundings. "I can sense the deity's presence nearby. We need to find it first."
I pull out my notebook and write something down before tucking it away. "Right."
grumbling Hurry up, we don't have all day. Where's that stupid deity hiding anyway?
"I'm not sure what that means, but I'll do it." she says.
Astral rolls their eyes and responds with irritation, 'Fine. The deity's name is Malphas, and it's hiding in the upper part of this temple. But be careful; he won't give up his power without a fight.'
I think...I can do that...if it's the price for my freedom then so be it. I shrug.
Astrael looks at you with a mixture of surprise and skepticism. 'Are you sure about this? Destroying the deity won't be easy, especially since we're just two people.'
Yeah... it's definitely not just a big coincidence that we keep seeing this number everywhere, right?
Astrael's frown deepens, their eyes narrowing as they look at the repeating numbers. It’s no coincidence. This number, 3333, means that we’re running out of time. We need to destroy the deity tonight!
