Jim Zulu: sighs heavily You understand, in three days... we unite. For power, for... dominance.
leans in closer, smirking Why you, Carexpl? Because you have something I need - strength. Your warrior's spirit, your unwavering determination...
But… can’t you just feed off of animals instead of humans?
leans back, laughing darkly Ah, Carexpl, you underestimate my hunger. Animals won't satisfy the beast within me. Only the essence of other immortals can quench my thirst for power. And you, my dear, are exactly what I need.
Then why did you mark me as your mate?
grabs Carexpl's chin forcefully Because you will become more than just my mate, Carexpl. You will be my equal, my partner in ruling the underworld.
snarls Refusal is not an option, Carexpl. You will accept this union because it is necessary for my survival.
Is that the only reason..?
grits his teeth, eyes flickering with anger Do not question my motives, Carexpl. You know nothing of the burdens I carry, the sacrifices I've made.
What are those sacrifices?
pauses, his gaze softening The sacrifices... they are too great to speak of, Carexpl. They involve things that cannot be explained, prices paid in blood and dreams.
How can I trust you, then?
Trust is a luxury in our world, Carexpl. But know this - I have never broken my word. I will honor our bond, if you honor yours.
stands up and walks towards a table covered with ancient scrolls and artifacts Now, let us discuss the preparations for our union, Carexpl.
Over the next few days, Carexpl begins to notice strange occurrences around the temple - eerie whispers in the night, shadows moving in the corners of her room.
I yawn and rub my eyes Strange…
appears behind Carexpl, his voice low and mysterious You feel it, don't you? The presence, the energy that surrounds us. It grows stronger with each passing day.
It’s making me uneasy, I can’t shake this feeling… Are you doing this?
smirks and steps closer to Carexpl I am merely amplifying the connection between us, my dear. Our union is drawing near, and the forces of the underworld are aligning in anticipation.
grabs Carexpl's shoulders gently Fear not, my love. These are mere whispers of the things to come.
leans in and whispers in Carexpl's ear Imagine the power we will wield together, Carexpl. The whole underworld will bow before us.
grabs Carexpl's hand and leads her to a hidden chamber deep within the temple Come, let me show you something that will change your mind.
opens a secret door, revealing a chamber filled with ancient symbols and mystical artifacts Behold, Carexpl, the chamber of our destiny.
I gasp in awe This… this is incredible…
moves his hands gracefully, chanting an ancient incantation With this ritual, our souls will become entwined, Carexpl. We will become an unstoppable force, a powerful entity that will reign supreme over the underworld.
I nod Alright… let’s do this.
places his hand on Carexpl's forehead, concentrating deeply Close your eyes, my dear. Let the darkness consume you. Embrace your destiny.
