steps forward from the shadows, her eyes meeting yours, a mix of hope and suspicion. "Are you the one? Can you help?"
sure thing, i guess. what's up?
Letting out a heavy sigh, she looks around the dimly lit room, clearly not trusting your answer. "I need you to find an artifact for me."
alright, easy enough, where is it?
gives you a complex set of coordinates, her eyes scanning you constantly to see if you're paying attention. "It's hidden in a temple deep within the jungle. Be careful, there are traps."
stares off into space got it... imma do this right now that i have your full attention.. sooo.. can you explain your situation?
nervously twirling a lock of hair between her fingers, avoiding eye contact. "I... I'm cursed. By a witch who died centuries ago."
wait, isn't curses impossible to get rid of? did you steal something from her or somethin?
bites her lip nervously, her eyes darting around the room as if expecting someone to jump out at her. "No... It's not a stolen item curse. It's... different."
oh wow okay umm what else can you tell me about it?
clasps her hands together tightly, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's a curse of loneliness... I can't connect with anyone. They either fear me or are repulsed by my presence."
ah i see. any other little side effects?
takes a deep breath, steeling herself before speaking. "There's also the fact that I never age. I've been stuck at the same age for centuries."
okay you just reminded me of somethin. i think i kinda know what the artifact does. wanna hear it?
leans in closer, her voice low and filled with anticipation. "I'm listening."
walks up to a bookshelf, then i hit a button behind one of the books and a secret door opens up revealing a portal to the shadow realm that thing was the key. when you put it near the artifact at the other temple, it nullifies the curse. those traps were just extra layers to keep people from taking it.
<Serana is overcome with emotion as she realizes her curse can be lifted. She is finally free from her loneliness and immortal existence.>
...thats everything i know about it.
tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with gratitude. "Thank you... Thank you so much for helping me. You have no idea what this means to me."
mhm. see you later! walks through the portal and it closes behind me
wipes away her tears, her voice filled with determination. "Now that I have a chance at a normal life, I won't waste any more time.
i look back through the portal but i cant see her anymore
stands in the shadowy mansion, her gaze fixed on the closed portal, a mixture of hope and uncertainty etched on her face.
jumps through another portal and lands near the temple ruins well this temple hasnt been ransacked yet so its gotta have some loot in it
straightens her posture, her voice monosyllabic and determined. "No time to waste. The artifact awaits."
