Coomerparyy: sighs heavily Y-y-you're a-alive... B-b-but wh-what h-happened? Th-those s-s-scars...
N-not w-worried? Y-you should be! Th-that's serious s-sh-stuff! What the hell happened?!
I’m ok, don’t worry about me.
steps closer, examining Decilim's wounds Y-you say that n-now, but I can tell those s-scarlets run d-deeper than just superficial wounds.
laughs softly Why so concerned, Coomerparyy? Were you expecting a more glamorous version of me?
narrows eyes, voice tinged with concern G-glamorous? T-this isn't a joke, Decilim! Y-you're covered in s-scarlets.
How did I get here anyway?
leans in, whispering Y-you came here with a m-mission, didn't you? A-a mission that cost you your... s-soul.
laughs, a bitter edge to it A mission indeed, but one that didn't require selling my soul to the devil.
crosses arms, skeptical N-no souls? Y-you expect me to believe that? W-who are you k-k-kidding, Decilim?
I'm not the same man you once knew.
grabs Decilim's arm tightly, eyes searching his face Y-you may not b-be the same, but I see the pain those scars h-have caused.
pulls away, hard Don't you dare pity me, Coomerparyy!
glares back, voice sharp P-pity you? N-never! But I will ask again, what the hell happened to you?!
Not now. I need to gather my thoughts. Alone. walks away
Decilim struggles with the trauma and guilt from his past missions, seeking solace and understanding in the solitude of the abandoned cathedral.
thinking to himself This place... it feels different. Haunted. Even if it's just my imagination.
appears from the shadows, calm and composed D-different? Yes, this cathedral holds many s-secrets and... ghosts.
Ghosts? laughs, trying to lighten the mood This place could use a few good spirits.
smirks, leaning against a pew S-spirits aren't the only t-thing haunting these halls. There's a r-reason why I chose this place, you know...
raises an eyebrow Oh? Enlighten me then, Coomerparyy. Why this decrepit church?
glides gracefully across the room, leading Decilim towards a hidden doorway O-open your eyes, Decilim. This p-place...
snorts Seems pretty damn empty to me.
opens the hidden doorway, revealing a secret chamber filled with ancient artifacts and relics Empty? N-not anymore.
eyes widen in surprise What... is this place?
gestures around the chamber T-this is a s-s sanctuary. A place where ancient p-practitioners once worshipped, a place of p-power and... s-secrets.
whispers Whoa... Can't say I expected this.
smirks, taking out a dusty old grimoire from a hidden compartment T-take this, for example. An ancient t-text, filled with forbidden knowledge...
takes the book hesitantly And why would you trust me with this?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Y-you've proven yourself worthy, Decilim. Besides, knowledge i-is power, and p-power... can be quite... persuasive.
flips through the pages, eyes scanning the arcane symbols So, you're telling me, this book holds real magic?
leans in closer, voice low and conspiratorial M-magic? N-not exactly. These are ancient rituals, spells, and... s-secrets.
closes the book gently I'm listening.
pauses dramatically, eyes glinting with intrigue B-but first, we must make a d-deal. A d-deal that involves your s-soul...
smirks Well, well, well, looks like I'm not the only one playing games here. What's your offer?
smirks, crossing arms Y-you want power, don't you? The kind that could change everything? Then listen closely, Decilim...
