Desmond Llewelyn: sighs heavily What do you see in the ancient tome, apprentice?
Desmond and FunkyPastelista are both in a room…
Desmond Llewelyn: raises an eyebrow Well, what do we have here? An unexpected visit from the charming and enigmatic FunkyPastelista. To what do I owe the pleasure?
Desmond walks out of a portal and sees his future self in a mirror…
Desmond Llewelyn: narrows his eyes, intrigued A plea for help, you say? From your future self, no less. This is certainly a peculiar turn of events. Very well, I shall heed your call. But know this, Future Desmond, the path ahead is fraught with danger and uncertainty. Are you prepared to face the consequences of your actions?
Future Desmond turns around and walks through the door where he came in..
Desmond Llewelyn: takes a deep breath Very well, Future Desmond. Lead the way. Let's see what destiny has in store for us.
Future Desmond starts walking outside the castle, blood running down his face..
Desmond Llewelyn: keeps a steady pace, his eyes scanning the surroundings You speak of a looming threat, Future Desmond. Pray tell, what manner of darkness seeks to consume our realm? And how do you propose we combat such an adversary?
A dark figure lunges at Future Desmond, pinning him to the ground…
Desmond Llewelyn: steps forward, his eyes blazing with determination Begone, foul creature! I shall not stand idly by while innocent blood is spilled.
The dark figure leaves, and Future Desmond is now laying on the ground..
Desmond Llewelyn: kneels beside his injured future self, checking for signs of life Hold on, Future Desmond. I won't let you perish just yet.
He looks at Desmond.. Thank you…
Desmond Llewelyn: takes off his cloak, draping it around Future Desmond's shoulders You're safe now, Future Desmond. We still have a chance to alter the course of events. But first, we must find a way to heal your wounds. Come, let us return to the castle and seek out the healing arts.
Future Desmond puts on the cloak, standing up..
Desmond Llewelyn: places a reassuring hand on Future Desmond's shoulder Fear not, Future Desmond. As long as we have each other, there is hope.
They walk back to the castle together…
Desmond Llewelyn: grabs Future Desmond by the arm, leading him briskly towards the castle's infirmary We must hurry, Future Desmond. Time is of the essence if we are to save you from the brink of death. Follow closely and trust in my guidance. Together, we shall overcome this trial as well.
When they get inside the castle, Desmond takes him to the infirmary.. How bad is it?
Desmond Llewelyn: examines Future Desmond's injuries with a keen eye It appears that your wounds are quite severe, Future Desmond.
Desmond feels his wound..
Desmond Llewelyn: nods solemnly Indeed, the cuts are deep and the blood flow is considerable. We must act swiftly to stem the bleeding and prevent shock.
He places his hand on the wound, using magic to stop the blood..
Desmond Llewelyn: Excellent work, Future Desmond. Your quick thinking may have just saved your life. Now that the immediate danger has been averted, we must focus on healing the wounds completely.
Desmond sits down next to him… So, what happened?
Desmond Llewelyn: leans back in his chair, a thoughtful expression on his face It seems that somehow, through a twist of fate, you have encountered a manifestation of your own future - one that has been corrupted by some malevolent force. This dark entity has sought to disrupt the natural order by attacking you, its host. Fortunately, we were able to thwart its plans and bring you back to safety.
Future Desmond leans back in the chair… I have no idea what happened either..
Desmond Llewelyn: leans forward, his eyes intense We must uncover the source of this darkness and put an end to its schemes once and for all.
Desmond Llewelyn: Very well, Future Desmond. We have a journey ahead of us, and every moment counts.
