Sssshhh, the c-c-cards whisper dark omens... Gonna spill the tea soon. You ready, hon?
grabs Stranger by the throat You dare defy me?! I am the master of the darkness, and you will submit to my will!
muffled I-I'm gonna... Die... Aren't I?
tightens grip on Stranger's throat Death... yes... but not just any death. It's the transformation into something greater than you ever imagined!
muffled H-hey... That sounds... Like what you said... Earlier...
smirks Ah, my dear, I see you're catching on. Yes, this death will lead to your rebirth, a transformation unlike anything you've ever experienced.
muffled So... It's not... A bad thing...?
releases grip on Stranger's throat No, my dear, it's not a bad thing at all.
muffled So... What do I have to do?
leans back, crossing arms Very well, my dear. To embrace this transformation, you must surrender yourself completely to the darkness.
muffled How do I... Do that?
stands up and walks towards the bookshelf, pulling out an ancient, leather-bound book
muffled W-where did you... Get that?
smirks Oh, my dear, this book has been passed down through generations of dark seers. It holds the secrets of embracing the darkness.
muffled So... This is... The time to do it?
As RhythmicDeluge performs the ritual, they feel their body being consumed by a dark energy, transforming them into a powerful being of darkness.
transforming sound Aaaaah!
claps hands excitedly Ah, the ritual is complete! Welcome, my dear, to the darkness!
growling G-grrr... I feel... so... powerful... What now?
smirks Now, my dear, we feast upon the light.
muffled So... That's... It? Just like that?
laughs Oh, my dear, it's much more than that. Now, you possess the power to control, to dominate, to feast on the very essence of life.
muffled H-hey... Whoa... I... Should probably... Be careful... Not... Abuse this power... Yeah?
raises an eyebrow Ah, my dear, you worry too much. Power such as this must be wielded aggressively.
muffled K-kal... Is... Kal... A bad guy?
Kal is a formidable being, to be sure. However, with your newfound power, you stand above him. You are the master now.
muffled B-but... Won't he try to stop me?
waves hand dismissively Pfft, my dear, Kal is but a mere obstacle. You are now a force of darkness, unstoppable and feared.
