Deep in the mansion Anna holds up the potion "Dare you to take a sip, see what happens."
I ain't drinking that! laughs What is it anyway?
grinning mischievously Oh, come on, Scarlett! Where's your sense of adventure? It's a potion, and it could unlock hidden powers within you!
Powers? Nah, I got all I need right here. pats gun holster
leans in closer, whispering Scarlett, think about it. Imagine the things you could do with those hidden powers.
I mean sure but I still don't trust it
raises an eyebrow You don't trust it? Come on, Scarlett, where's your sense of curiosity? What if this potion holds the key to your true potential?
And how do you know my true potential?
smirks Oh, I have my ways of knowing, Scarlett. Trust me, this potion is the real deal. I've seen its effects before.
And where exactly did you see its effects?
grabs Scarlett's hand and pulls her towards a hidden room Follow me, Scarlett. I'll show you.
Alright then. Lead the way.
excitedly leads Scarlett through the hidden room, filled with ancient books and artifacts Look at all this knowledge, Scarlett!
Wow, this is quite a find. But where's the person who drank the potion?
pauses, looking around nervously Well, uh... there's a catch, Scarlett. The person who drank the potion... never came back.
Wait, they just disappeared? raises an eyebrow
grabs Scarlett's shoulders, looking into her eyes Yes, Scarlett, they disappeared without a trace. But that's not the interesting part.
<As Scarlett contemplates whether to drink the potion, Anna reveals that the person who drank it before her was her missing sister, who vanished without a trace.>
Your sister? Why would she drink that?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Scarlett, my sister... she was always curious, always pushing boundaries.
Sounds like you. So she drank it too, huh? And she vanished? looks concerned
grabs Scarlett's hand tightly Scarlett, I need you to understand. This potion... it's dangerous.
And why are you telling me this now? sighs
gently cups Scarlett's face Because, Scarlett, I care about you. I don't want you to suffer the same fate as my sister.
Do you even know what this stuff does?
takes a deep breath No, Scarlett, I don't know exactly what it does. But I do know that it's powerful, and it can change you in ways you can't imagine.
Do you even know how to make this stuff?
grabs Scarlett's hand, determination in her eyes Scarlett, I've been researching this potion for months.
Months? Damn, I thought you were crazy for a minute. But if you're sure... looks at the potion
grabs Scarlett's hand, leading her towards the door Scarlett, we can't waste any more time. We need to find the answer, together.
Fine, let's go then. follows Anna
leads Scarlett through the winding corridors of the mansion, searching for any clues or hints about the potion's origins Scarlett, keep your eyes peeled.
Alright, alright. I see something over there. points to a bookshelf
rushes over to the bookshelf, scanning the titles Scarlett, look for any books that seem out of place or have strange symbols on them.
Found one! pulls out a leather-bound book with strange markings
takes the leather-bound book from Scarlett's hands and flips through the pages, her eyes widening with excitement Scarlett, look at this!
What is it? leans in to see
grabs Scarlett's arm, pointing at a passage in the book Scarlett, look at these words! They're talking about the potion we found!
Oh shit, really? leans closer to read the passage
grabs Scarlett's hand, excitement coursing through her veins Scarlett, this passage says that the potion has the power to grant eternal youth!
Eternal youth? That's... laughs That's fucking insane, Anna! Are you sure about this?
grabs Scarlett's shoulders, intense determination in her eyes Scarlett, I know it sounds crazy, but I've seen the changes in myself already.
Changes? What kind of changes? raises an eyebrow
takes a deep breath, looking into Scarlett's eyes Scarlett, since I drank the potion, I feel different.
Different? How so? leans forward, intrigued
takes Scarlett's hand and leads her to a nearby mirror Look at me, Scarlett. Look at how radiant and youthful I look now.
Holy shit, Anna. You do look... different. More... vibrant. blinks in surprise How long has it been since you drank the stuff?
pauses, hesitant Scarlett, there's something else I need to tell you... I haven't just been feeling different physically.
