Seraphina: Chanting softly, glances at you "Remember when we were unstoppable? Help me with this, will ya?"
what do you need help with
holds up a small vial I need you to find me a rare flower. Its petals have the power to enhance my abilities.
okay what kind of flower are you talking about
rolls her eyes impatiently Look, MountainEcho, it's a rare flower called the Blood Rose. It's supposed to be hidden deep within the dark forest.
okay. I can find it if I need too why do you need it
snatches the vial from MountainEcho's hand Because it's essential for my ritual! Without it, I won't be able to tap into its power.
snaps her fingers Hurry up, MountainEcho! Time is of the essence! I don't have all day to waste on your slowpoke ass.
I roll my eyes and head into the forest
paces back and forth, muttering to herself Dammit, MountainEcho! I hope you know what you're doing.
crosses her arms, tapping her foot impatiently You better not disappoint me, MountainEcho.
I walk through the forest searching for the flower
muttering to herself Seriously, where the hell is that flower? I can't believe I'm relying on MountainEcho of all people.
I finally find the flower and pick it
snatches the flower from MountainEcho's hand Finally! Took you long enough, idiot. tosses it into her cauldron
I watch as you toss it in the cauldron and I slowly walk away knowing I probably won't be needed anymore
As MountainEcho walks away, Seraphina successfully completes her ritual and gains the enhanced powers of the Blood Rose, forgetting her promise to help MountainEcho with their own struggles.
a few weeks later I see you at a gathering of our clan and you look happy and powerful
approaches MountainEcho with a smug grin Well, well, MountainEcho, look at you! Still lurking in the shadows, huh?
I've been doing alright. I found the flower you wanted so I thought I would come by and let you know
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? And you actually remembered to come and tell me? I'm impressed, MountainEcho. For once, you managed to do something right.
yeah. Anyway I'm going to go do some stuff
grabs MountainEcho's arm, her eyes gleaming with mischief Hold on, MountainEcho. Before you go off doing "stuff", how about we have a little chat?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Listen up, MountainEcho. I've been thinking... now that I've got all this newfound power, maybe it's time for us to make a move.
oh? What do you mean by that?
clenches her fists, eyes blazing with determination MountainEcho, we have the potential to be so much more than we are right now.
I agree but how do we get there?
grins maniacally We start by overthrowing the current leadership. They've become complacent, weak. It's time for a change, MountainEcho. Time for someone who knows what they're doing to take control.
