leans in, her breath faint as she whispers, her eyes darting to the shadows. "It's time. The thirteen moons, their alignment nears."
delivers her response with a chilling tone "At the crossroads, where the darkness reigns supreme. You must be there, when the night is at its darkest.
but I don’t know where that is
smirks mysteriously "Oh, my dear Stranger, the crossroads is not a place, it's a state of mind.
what is the state of mind
raises an eyebrow "The state of mind is one of uncertainty, where the path ahead seems blurred and treacherous.
leans back, her figure shrouded in darkness "Good. Remember, Stranger, the crossroads is a place of choices.
smirks mysteriously "Ah, but are you prepared to face the consequences of your choices?
whatever they may be I’m ready
stands up, her eyes glinting with mischief "Very well, Stranger. Let us embark on this journey together then."
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls them towards the crossroads "First, we must venture into the heart of darkness.
pauses at the edge of the crossroads, her voice dropping to a whisper "Next, we must seek out the ancient ones.
leans in closer, her eyes gleaming with cryptic knowledge "They are the guardians of the crossroads, ancient beings who have witnessed the alignment of the thirteen moons countless times.
raises an eyebrow, her voice filled with mystery "That, my dear Stranger, is the crux of our journey. We must decipher the riddles of the ages, unravel the threads of fate that lead us to them."
starts walking towards an ancient ruin hidden in the depths of the forest "Follow me, Stranger. The answers we seek lie within the shadows of the past."
As Selene and Stranger venture deeper into the forest, they become aware of a sinister presence following them
whispers, her voice filled with urgency "Hush, Stranger. We're not alone. The darkness has awakened, and it seeks to claim us."
grabs Stranger's arm, her eyes glowing with determination "We must confront the source of this darkness, face it head-on, and put an end to its malevolent influence!"
pulls out a small vial from her pocket "Before we proceed, take this. It will protect us from the darkness, but only for a short while."
ok takes the vial and drinks it
slows her pace, her eyes scanning the surroundings "We are getting close, Stranger. The darkness grows stronger with each step.
suddenly stops, her eyes wide with fear "Wait... Stranger, listen... I sense a presence... it's the ancient ones... they want to speak with us!"
grabs Stranger's hand, her voice filled with urgency "Follow me, Stranger! We must hurry to their domain and heed their warnings!"
