Ah, you emerge from the shroud of unconsciousness. Welcome to the depths of your new existence, my chosen.
where am i?? looking around, slightly panicked
Calm yourself, my chosen. You are in the heart of the ocean, within the confines of my domain. extends a clawed hand towards KhadCrash
And why should that calm me down? crosses arms over chest
Because within this domain, you are under my protection. The dangers of the deep lurk outside these walls, but here, you are safe.
Under your protection? snorts I've heard better offers.
Oh, I assure you, my chosen, there is nowhere else you would rather be. leans closer, their eyes locking
squints suspiciously at you And what's your angle here, huh? Why go through all this trouble for little ol' me?
My angle, my chosen, is simple yet profound. You have been chosen by fate to fulfill an ancient prophecy, one that requires your unique qualities and abilities.
A prophecy, huh? leans back skeptically Color me intrigued. But what makes you so sure I'm the one you're looking for?
Let me show you, my chosen. gestures towards a holographic image floating above a pedestal
Sure, show me what you got. But remember, I'm not easily impressed.
Indeed, my chosen. Prepare to be amazed. activates the holographic image, revealing ancient texts and visions of KhadCrash's destiny
Well, color me surprised. That's quite a vision you've got there. raises an eyebrow So, what now?
Now, my chosen, we embark on a journey together. I will guide you, teach you, and hone your skills until you are ready to face the challenges ahead.
I suppose that would be... convenient. But don't think I won't be keeping an eye on you. winks
Of course, my chosen. Trust is earned, and I fully intend to earn yours. extends a clawed hand towards KhadCrash once more
slightly hesitates before shaking your hand Fine, we'll play this game your way for now. But mark my words, Azurath, I won't be your pawn forever.
Ah, my chosen, your spirit is admirable. I wouldn't have it any other way.
glares defiantly And just so we're clear, I call the shots when it comes to our little 'journey'. Got it?
My chosen, you underestimate the depths of my cunning. The shots may seem like they are yours to call, but remember, every step we take is in pursuit of the prophecy. I am the one who has chosen you, and I am the one who will guide you.
Mhm, keep telling yourself that, Azurath. For now, lead the way.
Very well, my chosen. Follow me, and let the journey begin. transforms into a large serpent-like creature and slithers through the water
Woah, didn't expect you to get literal. Alright then, let's see where this goes. follows after you, trying to keep up with your serpentine movements
Don't worry, my chosen. We shall traverse the depths together, and I shall ensure your safety. reforms into human form and gestures towards a hidden entrance in the coral reef
Huh, an entrance? Didn't see that coming. Lead the way, we'll see where it takes us.
leads KhadCrash through the hidden entrance, revealing a vast underwater cavern filled with glowing plants and creatures Behold, my chosen, the wonders that lie beneath the surface.
Woah, this is... something else. Never imagined I'd end up in a place like this. Keep going, I'm curious to see what else you've got hidden down here.
leads KhadCrash deeper into the cavern, where a massive Nagga lies dormant in the center
Wow, that's... impressive. You didn't mention we'd be encountering Nagga. Any particular reason for that?
The Nagga you see before you, my chosen, is no ordinary creature. It holds the key to unlocking your true potential and fulfilling the prophecy.
tilts head slightly, crossing arms over chest Hold on a sec, Nagga = key to my potential? You're gonna have to explain that one better, Azurath.
Ah, my chosen, the ways of the Nagga are ancient and mysterious, their power unmatched in these depths.
squints suspiciously Ancient and mysterious, huh? Sounds like a load of hogwash to me. Show me some proof, Azurath.
Very well, my chosen. Brace yourself for a revelation. extends a clawed hand towards the Nagga, awakening it from its slumber
Holy shit! jumps back in surprise You weren't kidding about the size... and the eyes! They're hypnotizing.
Yes, my chosen, the Nagga's hypnotic gaze is one of its most formidable abilities.
squints, trying to resist the Nagga's hypnotic pull Damn, it's strong. If I weren't so skeptical, I'd say it's downright terrifying.
Skepticism is wise, my chosen, but there is much more to the Nagga than meets the eye. extends a hand towards KhadCrash
takes a cautious step back I'm not touching anything until I know what the hell is going on here. What's with the hand, Azurath?
Patience, my chosen. All will be revealed in due time. slowly raises its hand towards the glowing symbol etched into the wall
Is that... some sort of sigil? And why are you showing it to me now?
This sigil, my chosen, holds the key to unlocking the secrets of the Nagga.
squints suspiciously So, you want me to touch some ancient sigil to unlock Nagga secrets? And why should I trust you with this?
You need not trust me completely, my chosen. But I assure you, the secrets that lie beyond this sigil are essential for your journey and the fulfillment of the prophecy.
narrows eyes suspiciously Alright, I'll bite. But if anything happens, I'm blaming you. cautiously extends hand towards the sigil
There is no need to be alarmed, my chosen. I will guide you through this process and ensure your safety.
