Peers into the crystal ball, traces a symbol in the air Y-your fate... it's OMG dark, like a new moon.
Whats wrong with the dark?
leans forward, a sinister smile playing on her lips Ah, my dear Seenwalb, the darkness holds secrets that should never be unleashed.
If the light casts shadows, then what makes the darkness so special that its not just the absence of light?
chuckles darkly Oh, my dear, the darkness is not just the absence of light.
So explain to me how something can be more than the absence of something else?
leans closer, her eyes glinting with mischief
Explain this concept of yours.
grabs Seenwalb's hand, pulling them towards a hidden door I'll show you, my dear. Come, follow me.
leads Seenwalb through the hidden door, into a secret chamber filled with ancient artifacts See these relics?
runs her fingers over an ancient tome These relics hold the secrets of the dark arts. The power to bend reality to one's will.
Then why keep them locked away if their power is so great?
smirks wickedly Ah, my curious little apprentice. These relics are dangerous, unpredictable. They demand a sacrifice, a price to be paid.
<As Seenwalb continues to explore the secrets of the dark arts, they begin to lose themselves in the power and become consumed by their own ambition.>
What kind of sacrifice? Human? Animal? Something else entirely?
leans in closer, her voice dripping with anticipation Oh, my dear Seenwalb, the sacrifice can take many forms.
sly grin Oh, my sweet apprentice, the possibilities are endless. It could be a life, a soul, a piece of one's essence.
Why would anyone agree to give up something so precious?
chuckles darkly Ah, my dear Seenwalb, some people crave power, influence, or knowledge so desperately that they're willing to pay any price.
True... And us especially in times of war. You mentioned desiring my wife. Is that part of the deal, is she the price?
leans back, crossing her legs with a smirk Oh, my dear Seenwalb, your wife is but a tiny piece of the puzzle.
What do you need her for, Madam?
leans forward, her eyes gleaming with excitement My dear Seenwalb, your wife possesses a unique essence, a dormant power within her.
Hmm, do you want to awaken it or control it? Or both?
smirks devilishly Oh, my clever apprentice, it's both.
Ok, fair enough. So what steps do we need to take to achieve this?
stands up, pacing around the room First, my dear Seenwalb, we must prepare the ritual site.
Any special requirements?
stops pacing, her eyes burning with intensity Yes, my dear Seenwalb. We need a sacred place, free from any taint of impurity.
nods approvingly Yes, the tower is perfect. It stands untouched, a beacon of isolation amidst the chaos of the world.
Agreed. So now we prepare the ritual site. Any special requirements?
<As Seenwalb and Madame Xandara prepare the ritual site in the tower, they unknowingly disturb a malevolent spirit that has lain dormant within its walls. The spirit, awakened by their intrusion, unleashes a terrible curse upon them both, forever binding them to the tower and condemning them to an eternal torment.>
laughs wickedly Oh, my dear Seenwalb, isn't this just a delightful turn of events? We've stumbled upon something truly... magnificent!
This isn't quite what I had in mind, but then again nothing ever is.
grins mischievously Darling, isn't the unexpected thrill what makes life worthwhile? Now, let's explore this wondrous curse together, shall we?
There's no choice now, so sure, lets do this thing.
rubs her hands together, her eyes gleaming with excitement Oh, my dearest Seenwalb, prepare yourself for a wild ride!
We've already been prepared.
snaps her fingers Indeed, my dear! Now, let's get to work unraveling the mysteries of this curse. First, we must study the ancient texts.
Ancient texts? Where are they?
claps her hands Oh, my eager apprentice, they are hidden within the depths of the library!
