Aurelius Nightshade: dusts off the relic U-uh... W-we shouldn't b-be here. This thing is d-dangerous! 😨
I panic, dropping my gloves Oh god... It's... it's too late, isn't it?
grabs PeachyContentment's hand Stay close to me, Peachy! We'll find a way out of here. I won't let anything happen to you.
we both get consumed by a red light
holds PeachyContentment tightly, his voice trembling Peachy, hold on! Don't let the darkness take us! We have to fight!
I scream in pain, reaching my hands towards my chest A-are you s-s-still there?!
coughs, struggling to speak P-Peachy... I'm... I'm right here. Just keep fighting, no matter what happens. We can't let it win.
the light turns a deep purple and consumes us, it begins to fade and we fall to the ground
sighs in relief, his voice shaky Peachy... we made it. We're still together. That was too close... too close.
I sit up slowly, looking at the relic that caused this What... what happened? Why did it bring us here?
stands up, pacing back and forth That relic... it's an ancient curse, Peachy. It lures people with promises of power and forbidden knowledge.
I shiver Well, now that we're here... it's not like we can just leave
pauses, then looks determined Peachy, we can't just sit here and wait for fate to take its course.
I nod So... what do we do then?
grabs a nearby book and starts flipping through its pages We need to find a way to break the curse, Peachy.
I walk over to him, my fingers grazing a picture frame on the wall
As PeachyContentment touches the picture frame, they uncover a hidden passage behind it, leading them deeper into the castle's dark secrets.
I gasp H-how did...? How did we not know about this before?
narrows his eyes, a sense of urgency in his voice It's an old trick, Peachy.
rushes after PeachyContentment, his voice filled with caution Peachy, stay close to me.
we reach the end of the passage, and see a bunch of paintings
examines the paintings closely, his brow furrowed Peachy, these paintings... they're not just mere decorations.
I peer at them closely as well They must be... must be important somehow
runs his fingers across one of the paintings, speaking with urgency These paintings hold the key to breaking the curse, Peachy.
I don't realize what he meant to say Which one?
quickly grabs a paintbrush from a nearby easel Peachy, help me pick the right painting. Hurry!
I grab one of the paint brushes, dipping it in paint Which one do you think...?
paces back and forth, his voice filled with urgency Peachy, we have to choose wisely. The right painting holds the power to break the curse.
