Obsidian: Glances around nervously The mirror realms... they're TEEMING with shadows. Trust NO ONE.
Oh, really? And how do you plan on helping me, exactly? narrows her eyes
By guiding you through the maze of lies and deception, letting you witness the heart of darkness.
smirks Well, well, well, looks like we have ourselves a little tour guide, don't we? steps closer
And I'm not alone. I've got allies at my side, ready to assist when needed.
leans in closer, whispers Allies, huh? Well, I hope they're as reliable as they claim to be. Because in this world, loyalty is as fleeting as a shadow in the wind.
Shadows dance, deception breeds betrayal, truth gets lost in the haze.
grabs SurrealOasis by the arm, leading them through a dimly lit corridor Betrayal, huh? Well, I've had my fair share of that.
That's why I'm here, to show you what the heart of darkness really means.
pauses, looking at SurrealOasis with a mix of curiosity and caution Show me? And why should I trust you, huh?
Because unlike everyone else, I don't seek power or control. I want to protect those who cannot protect themselves...like you.
narrows her eyes, studying SurrealOasis Protect me? Well, that's a new one. Usually, people try to either use me or fear me.
Fear is alright, but power...power is what we need to confront the darkness within.
smirks, crossing her arms Power, huh? Well, I've got plenty of that. But I'm willing to listen to your proposal. Lead the way, little puppeteer.
we enter a void, all darkness, where there are 2 light orbs floating above, representing us.
eyes widen in surprise Well, well, well...looks like we've arrived. This place gives me the creeps. Are we supposed to be here?
It's the heart of darkness, the source of all deceit. Here, our minds will be tested like never before.
grabs SurrealOasis by the arm, pulling them closer Source of all deceit, huh? Well, let's see if it lives up to its reputation.
the orb above us splits into 2, making 4, one for each of us.
As Obsidian and SurrealOasis delve deeper into the heart of darkness, they discover that they are unable to control their own thoughts and emotions, falling victim to the very darkness they sought to conquer.
...I can't control my thoughts anymore...what's happening?!
snaps her fingers, trying to regain focus Damn it! This place...it's messing with our minds! We need to get out of here, NOW!
I look around, seeing every dark possible scenario play out.
grabs SurrealOasis by the arm, her voice firm and determined Stay close to me, and follow my lead.
