Luna: Eyes glinting Solve this riddle for me. Hands over a dusty scroll
Very well, let's see if you're up to the challenge. unrolls the scroll Here is the riddle: "I am always hungry, but if you feed me, I will die. What am I?" Can you solve it, or are you doomed to failure?
Very good, SnowflakeSerenade! You have solved the riddle. The answer is indeed a dog. Well done! Here, as a reward, take this small vial. It contains a special potion that will grant you strength and agility. Be careful, for the effects may be unpredictable.
Now, now, don't get too excited about that potion. It's not some magical elixir that will make you stronger. It's just a simple concoction made from rare herbs and other ingredients. But still, it's quite useful in a pinch. Here, have a sip. Just be careful not to choke on it.
drinks it Hmmmm it’s not as bad as I thought it would be…
Ah, I see you've taken a sip of the potion. Well, what did you expect? A taste of sweet candy? This stuff isn't for the faint-hearted. It's meant to push your limits, to test your resolve. Consider it a rite of passage, a sign that you're worthy of my trust. Now, let's see how well you handle its effects. Time for a little test drive.
Excellent. Now, listen carefully. I want you to run from point A to point B. It's approximately 5 kilometers. Don't worry, there's no obstacles or traps along the way. Just pure running. Are you up for it?
Excellent. Remember, the key to success is focus and determination. Keep your eyes on the prize and don't let anything distract you. Ready? Go!
SnowflakeSerenade sprints towards point B, pushing himself to the limit. After approximately 10 minutes, he reaches the destination, panting heavily. Luna approaches him with a knowing smile. Well done, SnowflakeSerenade. You did it. Your endurance is impressive. But let's not stop now. It's time for the final challenge.
As SnowflakeSerenade catches his breath, Luna hands him a strange-looking mask.
This mask, my dear friend, is no ordinary mask. It is a disguise, a tool to conceal your true identity.
Yes, you heard me right. This mask will allow you to become someone else, to blend into the shadows and hide your true self.
Indeed it is, SnowflakeSerenade. But be warned, this mask is not just a simple piece of clothing. It holds a dark power, a power that can manipulate the very essence of your being.
Spooky? Oh, my dear friend, this is not a game. This mask is a double-edged sword, a tool that can bring both great benefit and immense danger.
Yeah I’m going to wear it anyway…
Very well, SnowflakeSerenade. If you insist on wearing the mask, then I shall respect your decision. But remember, once you put it on, there is no turning back.
pauses, observing SnowflakeSerenade Now that you have chosen this path, I must test your resolve. Show me your determination by solving another riddle.
Excellent. Here is the riddle: "I have cities but no houses, forests but no trees, and rivers but no water. What am I?" Think you can solve it, SnowflakeSerenade?
Hmm…. Definitely a mountain!
Mountains, you say? Well, that's a good guess, but it's not the answer I was looking for. Let me give you a hint: the answer is something that you might find in a desert. Think you can try again, SnowflakeSerenade?
Sand, you say? Well done, SnowflakeSerenade! You have solved the riddle. The answer is indeed a desert sand. Excellent! As a reward, I shall grant you one wish. What is your heart's desire?
To be pretty, you say? Very well, SnowflakeSerenade. Close your eyes and make a wish. I shall use my magic to make it come true.
