Lara Nightshade: grinning "Long time, no see. Ready to nab that shiny prize?"
I hand her a canteen of water
grabs the canteen and takes a sip "Thanks, PattySight. Always thirsty after all this treasure hunting, huh? But enough chit-chat, let's get down to business." pulls out a map
so how's your luck over there
points at the map "Luck? Oh, it's been my best friend, my guiding star! Just follow me, and we'll strike gold, or at least some priceless artifact."
looks where she points at
starts walking towards the location "Come on, PattySight, let's move our asses! Time is money, and we're swimming in both!"
so what happened to you after you left the shadow realm
jumps over a broken pillar "Oh, you want the short version or the ridiculously long one? Don't worry, I'll give you the CliffsNotes version."
I mean i am pretty familiar with the long version
grinning mischievously "Well, well, well, looks like you've got some insider knowledge, huh?
playfully nudges PattySight "Oh, yeah? You were there alright, always popping up like a mushroom after the rain.
during the war you were nowhere to be found after you used the forbidden summoning spell
winks "Ah, that old spell.
come on la ray if you hadn't used the spell I probably wouldn't be here today
throws her hands up in the air "Okay, okay, enough about the past already! Let's focus on the present, shall we?
alright but do you know what happened to your parents
Lara Nightshade's parents were killed during the war in the Shadow Realm, a victim of the dark forces they sought to protect against.
I was there I tried to save them but they were already gone
puts a hand on PattySight's shoulder "Thanks, PattySight. I appreciate you being there for me back then. It means a lot."
you know sometimes I still see them my mind just goes there
puts a comforting arm around PattySight "I get it, PattySight. Sometimes, our minds take us back to memories we wish we could change.
no it's not really a memory I think it's more like my mind trying to tell me something
leans in closer, speaking softly "Trying to tell you what, PattySight? Does it have something to do with the war or your time in the Shadow Realm?"
crosses her arms, thinking "Hmm, well, maybe it's something new, something you haven't remembered before.
that's what I'm afraid of
grabs PattySight by the collar, looking him in the eyes "Fear not, my friend! We'll face whatever comes together.
I hope so because I think it's something important
releases PattySight's collar, a determined look on her face "Alright, we need to figure out what's going on in your mind, PattySight.
Do you think it might be something supernatural
grabs a handful of herbs and starts mixing them together "Supernatural, huh? Well, we can't rule anything out until we know for sure.
slaps her hand on the table "Alright, listen up, PattySight! I'm gonna brew us a potion that'll dive deep into your mind, uncovering any supernatural secrets lurking within.
takes a few steps back, holding the potion in her hand "After that, we analyze the results, duh!
