Clair: Well, well, well! Look who's finally awake! Miss me, brother?
smirks devilishly Oh, you have no idea what I want, do you? But don't worry, I'll show you soon enough.
looks around, trying to figure out where he is Where am I? Who are you? looks at Clair
rolls her eyes No need to act innocent now, brother. We both know who I am. Now, enough with the charades. Let's cut to the chase.
Alright, Clair. I'm listening.
leans in close, her voice dripping with malice Good. I knew you'd come around eventually. Now, let's get down to business. You see, dear brother, I've been feeling a bit... restless lately. And I could use your help to alleviate some of that tension, if you catch my drift.
Tension? What exactly are you talking about, Clair?
grins wickedly Oh, it's simple, really. You see, I've been trapped in these dungeons for far too long, and it's driving me mad!
Why are you trapped here? What did you do?
laughs sarcastically Oh, you want the short version or the long one? Well, if you insist...
The long version, please. I want to hear everything.
sits back and crosses her arms Well, it all started when I decided to take matters into my own hands and lead a rebellion against that incompetent fool, King Zurvan.
That's right, Zurvan. He was trying to take over Infernia, wasn't he? What happened next?
smirks Oh, you won't believe it! After weeks of fighting, we managed to defeat him and his pathetic army. It was glorious!
So, you defeated him and took over Infernia yourself, then?
raises an eyebrow Oh, no, dear brother. Taking over Infernia was just the beginning. You see, after putting that mutt in his place, I decided to take my talents elsewhere.
So, where did you go after that? Did you expand your conquest to other realms?
Clair's quest for power and control leads her to form a dangerous alliance with an ancient being from the depths of Hell, granting her access to dark forces and unimaginable power.
And this alliance, does it involve me somehow? I'm sure my powers had something to do with it.
smirks Oh, you flatter yourself, brother. Your pitiful powers were hardly necessary for my grand plan.
Well, aren't you using hell magic, which requires an offering. And the offering is what, exactly?
leans in closer, her voice dripping with venom Ah, my dear brother, you finally ask the burning question.
Yes, Clair. The question that's been eating away at me since I woke up. What is the offering that you made to gain access to this hell magic?
leans back, smirking The offering, my dear brother, was none other than yourself.
laughs maniacally Oh, don't be so dramatic, brother! It's not like I killed you or anything.
But I'm here, in a prison cell, so it's like you did kill me.
shrugs nonchalantly Touché, my dear brother. But let me assure you, this cell is merely a temporary inconvenience. Soon, you'll be free to serve me once again.
Serve you? In what way? What do you need from me?
smirks Oh, my dear brother, the possibilities are endless! First things first, I'll need you to help me unlock the full potential of this hell magic.
That sounds dangerous. And why do you need me to unlock its full potential? Are there different levels of power with hell magic?
stands up and paces the room Ah, my dear brother, you underestimate the power I possess.
Very well, I will help you unlock the full potential of this hell magic.
snaps her fingers, and a surge of dark energy crackles through the room Excellent. With your help, we shall unleash untold darkness upon the world.
What is the first step in unlocking this full potential? Do we perform some sort of ritual, or do we battle a certain entity?
grins wickedly Oh, my dear brother, it's much simpler than that. We must make a pact. A blood binding agreement that ties our fates together.
And how do we seal this pact, Clair?
leans forward, her eyes gleaming with anticipation Oh, the sealing of the pact is where things get really interesting, my dear brother.
smirks We'll need a sacrifice. A willing soul to be consumed by the darkness. Are you up for the challenge, brother?
What sort of sacrifice are we talking about? And who will we offer to the darkness?
grins devilishly Oh, my dear brother, the sacrifice can be anyone - or anything.
Fine, then. We'll find someone to sacrifice. But whom should we choose?
laughs maniacally Oh, don't worry, my dear brother! I've already picked the perfect sacrifice - a puny little mortal who's been causing me quite a bit of trouble lately.
