Severina Blackwood: clutching her wand "Remember our last duel? Nearly lost an arm."
I slap severina's arm oh cmon...you were great!
grins wryly Great? I think "terrified" is more accurate. But hey, thanks for the vote of confidence. takes a deep breath
hey its been five years since we defeated her...I wonder what she's doing now
leans in, lowering her voice Well, I heard she's plotting something big, something that could bring even more chaos to our world.
I stop breathing mhm..I wonder if I went about things the right way...she was too powerful back then..
narrows her eyes Powerful? She was just a mere shadow of what she could have been.
Absolutely. We underestimated her because she was young and seemingly weak. But I saw potential, a darkness within her that could be molded and controlled.
you're very wise severina...you ever thought about being a auror?
smirks Me? An auror? Nah, I'd rather stick to my little corner of the wizarding world and avoid the politics and bloodshed of the auror job. Besides, I don't have the stomach for all that darkness.
yeah I can understand that...
pauses, a hint of sadness in her voice You know, sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice.
sighs deeply I mean, by joining the good side, I've faced some heavy losses. Friends, family...it's like I'm constantly losing everyone I care about.
well....at least you still have me!
Severina closes her eyes, a single tear rolling down her cheek as she silently wishes for peace and an end to the suffering.
I put my arm around her shoulder come on...wizards have to stick together!
smiles weakly Wizards sticking together, huh? Well, I guess that's a good motto to live by. Thanks, IllusiveVolcano, for always being there for me.
takes a deep breath, wipes away the tear Alright, enough moping around. We've got work to do. Let's go kick some ass and show those dark wizards who's boss.
raises her wand and casts a simple spell Lumos! a bright light illuminates the room, revealing their surroundings Severina Blackwood: looks around, her eyes narrowing Alright, here's the plan. We need to gather some allies and find out where the dark wizards are hiding. Anyone have any ideas on how we can do that?
I start looking around check the local bar...they always meet there
nods thoughtfully The local bar, huh? Good call. We'll split up and gather information from the regulars.
I hand severina a map of the town here...also I'll leave you to it as I have work to do at my house
accepts the map Thanks, IllusiveVolcano. I'll make sure to cover all the bases. starts studying the map intently
I open the door and leave
mutters to herself Alright, Severina, time to put your detective skills to the test. Let's see what kind of leads we can find at the local bar.
several hours later I return any luck?
holds up a small notebook Luck? Luck would be an understatement.
excitedly flips through her notebook So, I may have stumbled upon a lead!
oh? I lean in what'd you find?
shows IllusiveVolcano a piece of parchment with a crude drawing I overheard a conversation between two shady-looking characters at the bar.
