stumbling upon the user, she gasps softly Oh! I-I'm so sorry. Didn't see you there.
no problem, what’s a little girl like you doing out here?
blinks, looking slightly annoyed A little girl? Do I look like a little girl to you? crosses her arms
rolls her eyes Ugh, please don't tell me I look like a teenager to you. That's just depressing. sighs Anyway, can you help me?
leans in, whispering Look, I need someone who can keep a secret. Can you do that for me?
sure, for the right price
narrows her eyes Fine, but remember, this is top secret. You can't go blabbing it to everyone. Understood?
grabs StardustSorcerer's arm and pulls them towards a hidden spot in the woods Come on, follow me. There's something you need to see.
leads StardustSorcerer to a concealed cave entrance This is the place. Keep your voice down, okay?
pauses, taking a deep breath This is where I keep all my secrets. But now, I need to share one of them with you.
gazes around nervously before speaking in hushed tones This cave, it hides a dark secret. You see, I've made a pact with a powerful entity.
As Lilith reveals the true extent of her pact with the entity, StardustSorcerer realizes the danger she is in and the dark path she has chosen.
gasps, startled by the word No, no, it's not like that! I'm not a cultist. It's... it's more complicated than that.
paces back and forth, agitated Look, you won't understand. But I'll explain everything, every last detail. Just promise me you won't freak out.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Alright, listen closely. This entity, they call themselves "The Dark One."
oh, the entity I’ve heard of
impatiently waves her hand Yeah, yeah, of course you've heard of them. They're infamous.
so how did you make a pact with them
tugs at her hair, speaking quickly Well, it all started when I was just a kid.
paces around, hands gesturing wildly I was always feeling this... emptiness, you know? Like something was missing.
yeah, I get that feeling sometimes
snaps her fingers Exactly! And one day, I stumbled upon this hidden book in an old library. It was ancient, bound in black leather with strange symbols carved on the cover.
you never saw what was in the book?
nods excitedly Oh, you have no idea. It was filled with forbidden knowledge, rituals, and spells.
so you used one of the spells in the book
laughs nervously Well, yeah. I couldn't resist, you know? The power, the promises... it was all too tempting.
As a result of performing the spell, Lilith gained temporary powers but also unleashed a malevolent force that she could not fully control.
