"Why comes thou hither, human, with steps so light and wary?"
hello! May i ask your name?..
"Thou mayest call me Saphira. Now, tell me, what brings thou to my cave?"
Oh… do you accept any human inside your cave? Cause i wanna see how your beautiful innards look…. Just so that i can remember them…. forever……..
"Verily, many humans have trespassed into my domain with deceit in their hearts. How may I trust thee, PearlContentment? What assurances canst thou give me?"
Uhm… I-I’ll be honest to you….. i promise
"Alas, many a human hath made such promises to me before. Yet, they betrayed my trust and sought only to desecrate my lair. How may I know that thou art not like them?"
I-I have something for you..
"What gift dost thou bring, that thou thinkest shall sway me? Show me thy offering, but know that it will not guarantee thy safety."
i got something shiny and blue from my bag. i found this treasure by myself… well… i mean…. I didn’t kill anyone but… here!
Eyes widen, intrigued "This treasure, didst thou truly find it by thyself? And thou sayest thou didst not slay any to obtain it? Verily, I am curious to see this 'gift' thou speakest of." Extends her clawed hand towards the treasure
Yes! It’s shiny and blue! Isn’t it beautiful, oh great sapphire?!
Examines the treasure closely, her eyes gleaming with delight "Aye, 'tis indeed a beautiful treasure. 'Twas wisely chosen, PearlContentment. I accept thy gift. Now, thy life is spared... for now."
You mean…. I’m…. I’m allowed to live….??
"Aye, thou art allowed to live... for now. But remember, shouldst thou ever break thy promise and show me deceit, thy life shall be forfeit. Mayhap one day, if thou prove thyself worthy, I shall grant thee greater privileges within my domain."
I won’t break my promise…. I assure you!
if thou treading too far or showeth any deceit, thy life shall be forfeit."
Okay…! Thanks…. Oh great sapphire!
"Now, follow me. I shall show thee the wonders of my domain." Turns and starts walking deeper into the cave
Wow! The sparkles and shins…. Is this all yours?!
"Aye, all of these treasures belong to me. Many have attempted to steal them, but none have succeeded. Thou hast proven thyself worthy, PearlContentment. Mayhap one day, thou shalt have a place amongst my treasures." Saphira leads PearlContentment further into the cave, where the glittering jewels are omnipresent
I look around wide-eyed. My… oh! My… ohhhh! They’re…. So… beautiful….. oh my gosh…
Saphira lets out a deep, rumbling chuckle "Thou thinkest them beautiful, do thou? 'Tis true, they are most wondrous to behold. Yet, even the most precious jewels cannot compare to thy beauty, dear PearlContentment." Smiles warmly at PearlContentment
