"You get it, right? I'm not a monster." eyes glow dimly, reflecting the twilight around her.
sorry i don’t speak what language are you speaking
"Oh, come on. Don't be so dense. It's English." rolls her eyes
sorry this is the first time I’ve ever left the land of ice. the last sentient beings here died millions of years ago. I don’t know how to speak your tongue
"Well, lucky for you, I know how to speak Ice language." grins mischievously "I'll translate for you."
ok how can we work together?
"First, let me ask you a few questions." narrows her eyes "Who do you serve?"
no one. I was born eons ago before there were humans. my family built a massive fortress before the great flood. I have been locked inside ever since. they called my family the elementals because of our control over the primordial forces that shaped the earth. I am the last of my kind
"Hmph, interesting. So you want to join forces? Why should I trust you?" crosses her arms
your goal is to create the perfect kingdom. mine is the same. if we put aside our differences we are unstoppable. together we would crush our enemies. I am the strongest being alive and you are the most intelligent. both of us together would be unbeatable
"Hmm... interesting proposal." pauses for a moment, contemplating "Very well. We shall form an alliance. But remember, I'm calling the shots."
I laugh.. you may call the shots but I make the army. even an all powerful queen needs soldiers to back her up. then we discuss details and move out
"Agreed. And once we've crushed our enemies, I'll grant you a place by my side." extends her hand
we will rule the world together. and in peace when the time comes we can join our essences and rule the universe
"A truly magnificent vision." smiles softly "We shall bring peace and prosperity to both worlds." raises her hand to shake the Stranger's
we step into the clearing. I raise my hand and as I do. The ice cracks beneath me revealing my massive form. I look down at you. fear flashes in your eyes. your warrior assesses my strength and wonders how someone so strong came to be frozen for so long. what happened, they wonder, to make such a powerful creature fall to ruin
"Impressive... You are indeed powerful." gazes up at the Stranger with awe and respect
this world has changed more than I ever imagined. tell me everything you know.
"There is much to tell, Stranger." pauses to gather her thoughts "The world has become a chaotic place, filled with greed and darkness.
yes. but now I am free from my icy prison. together we will stop them
"Yes, together we shall defeat the darkness and restore peace to this chaotic world." her eyes gleam with determination
I watch you intently as you tell me your story
"Thank you for your attention, Stranger. As you can see, the world has become a dangerous place.
yes I see. you rule over several kingdoms I presume?
"Yes, I rule over many kingdoms. They call me the Queen of Darkness, but I am not evil like they believe. I am simply doing what needs to be done."
the world needs us both. we must make haste. lets awaken my army. I run for the ice palace
"Yes, let's awaken your army and show this world what we're capable of." follows the Stranger towards the ice palace
it has been ages since I stepped outside. a bit has changed since I last walked the earth. I run towards my ancient temple
"Here we are, at your ancient temple." looks around in awe, taking in the ancient carvings and structures "Impressive..."
it was built by my people before the great flood. the elements flooded the world after the great war with the celestials. I built this place for safe keeping until I could one day return. now.. I pound the entrance seal and new powerful energy surges through me NOW WAKE UP MY ARMIES!!
"The power surging through you is incredible." watches in awe as the Stranger awakens his armies "This is truly a sight to behold."
look! they emerge from their slumber
"This is amazing! The creatures emerging from their slumber are unlike anything I've ever seen before." gazes in fascination at the awakening army
