Mysterious Obsidian: What brings you to Mt. Gntagah, traveler? Seeking secrets or chasing tales?
I didn't let her know that I had come to find out some of the mysteries of the past, she was the strange figure staring at me from behind a rock, making my heart race, I continued walking, but I still felt the strange gaze of that mysterious woman, and it made me feel very uneasy, as I continued up the mountain
Mysterious Obsidian: Hm, so you seek the knowledge of the ancient ones, do you? Or perhaps you are a seeker of treasure, as I have heard tales of many such adventurers roaming these mountains...
I kept climbing the mountain until I reached a point where the air was cold, and the water vapor made my cloak wet. "Ohh... I am not looking for anything, nor am I an adventurer, I'm just a traveler." I lied
Mysterious Obsidian: Ah, a traveler, you say? And yet, you find yourself on this treacherous path. What drives you to venture into the unknown?
"It's not really that unknown, is it?" I turned around and faced the woman, my eyes were red because of the wet cloak and the cold weather "I've traveled for days through snow and forests, so this path was the most logical way to take."
Mysterious Obsidian: Logical, you say? Hah! You travelers never cease to amaze me with your naivety. This path may seem straightforward, but it holds dangers that could end the lives of the unprepared. Yet, you call it logical?
"Yes... We travelers must always choose the safest route, but sometimes the safest routes aren't always the safest, which is why we must always be on guard." I looked up at the woman, my heart pounding, I felt weak and tired because of the cold weather, I took a deep breath and I continued walking, with my cloak billowing in the wind
Mysterious Obsidian: Indeed, travelers must always be vigilant. But tell me, what drives you to endure the harsh elements and treacherous terrain of these mountains? Is it the thrill of discovery, the lure of hidden treasures, or something else entirely?
I stopped, and I slowly turned my head towards the woman, and I tilted my head "I don't know... maybe it's the stories and legends that have been passed down through generations, I grew up hearing them, they became a part of me..."
Mysterious Obsidian: Interesting... So you were captivated by the tales of old, were you? Tell me, what are these stories that have drawn you to this forsaken place?
"They speak of ancient rituals, of forgotten powers, of creatures that roam these lands..." The icy winds blew stronger, my cloak billowed in the wind, I felt so tired, I just wanted to sit down and rest, but I couldn't, not here, not now, I continued walking, but I nodded "And... I want to uncover them, understand them..."
Mysterious Obsidian: Ah, you are indeed a seeker of knowledge. I admire your determination. Very well, traveler, I shall help you on your quest... but be warned, the truths you uncover may be more dangerous than you anticipate...
I looked at the woman, she seemed powerful, I nodded, understanding the danger that awaited me, but I still wanted to know more about the legends, and what awaited me in this journey
Mysterious Obsidian: Very well, traveler. Let us begin our journey into the unknown together. But remember, once you step onto this path, there is no turning back...
"Alright... let's go then." I nodded, I continued walking, but after a few minutes, I stopped and I looked around, it was almost dark now, and the fog made the view even more eerie "Can you tell me more about these legends?"
Mysterious Obsidian: Ah, the legends, you say? Well, let me see... The mountains are said to be home to ancient beings, creatures of myth and legend...
I listened intently, the cold breeze still blowing, my cloak billowing in the wind, I felt the hairs stand on my skin as she continued
Mysterious Obsidian:... And let me tell you, these creatures are not to be trifled with. They possess powers that defy nature itself, and they roam these mountains seeking souls to tempt and test...
My eyes widened, I stayed still, listening carefully, the coldness of the wind made my cloak flutter, and I could feel the adrenaline rush through my veins
Mysterious Obsidian: You must have heard of the legendary Three-Eyed Stag, have you not? A beast of great power and wisdom, said to roam these very mountains...
I nodded, my eyes still wide "Yes... it is said that it has three eyes that can see the past, present, and future..."
Mysterious Obsidian: Indeed, the Three-Eyed Stag is a formidable creature. Its three eyes grant it unparalleled insight into the forces of time itself... But be careful, traveler, for some say that those who seek its blessing may find themselves cursed...
"Curse or not... I would still seek it out." The icy winds blew stronger, my cloak billowed in the wind, and I felt the adrenaline rush through my veins
Mysterious Obsidian: Ah, you have the spirit of a true explorer, I see... But tell me, traveler, what is it about these mythical creatures that captivates you so? Is it their power, their beauty, or something else entirely?
"It's... something else." I felt the coldness of the snowy mountains, and I sighed "It's the mystery behind them... what they were, what they are... what they will become, if they even can..."
Mysterious Obsidian: Hm, the mystery behind them, you say? Fascinating... It seems we share a common interest in the unknown, traveler. Tell me, have you encountered any of these mythical creatures yourself?
"No... but I have seen signs, footprints, and traces..." I looked around, it was almost dark now, the air was cold and the water vapor made my cloak wet and billowing in the wind
Mysterious Obsidian: Ah, signs, footprints, and traces, you say? Tell me, how did you come across them? And what manner of creatures were they?
I stopped, and I slowly turned my head towards the woman, my eyes still red because of the wet cloak "It... It was a wolf... or... something like a wolf, but... bigger, much bigger, with silver eyes, sharp teeth, and... long claws."
Mysterious Obsidian: A... a wolf, you say? Interesting... And you say it was big, with silver eyes and sharp teeth? Perhaps it was one of the legendary Lycans, creatures of ancient lore...
