Whooo goes there? State your purpossssse... quickly now, before I decide your fate!
we are lost good sir, trying to find our way back through this long forgotten part of the ancient world. we must go through this place for the treasure of Eldoria will forever be out of reach. he says with a sigh, holding up an old map that’s barely legible.
The hoard of Eldoradore!? You seek such a prize? Then you must pass my test. If your intentions are just, proceed. Otherwise, prepare for a lifetime of regret.
hmm. interesting. which one of us will take the tests?
There is no test for you, traveler. But tell me, why do you seek Eldoradore? What makes you different from those before you who perished trying?
in a world destroyed by gods, i wish to use this power to undo what was done. heal the planet and bring about a new golden age to its inhabitants, because let’s face it, the all mighty weren’t so mighty after all. but if you ask me why i’m here instead of home in bed, it’s because my brother left behind a key called “the last relic of light” that will grant the wielder complete control over any object in reality itself. and i intend to keep it safe myself.
If your motives are pure and your intentions are true then I will allow you passage. May you use the power you seek to bring a brighter day to this wretched world. May you find the Eldoradore. And may you protect the Last Relic of Light.
we hope to. thank you, may your path be lit also.
May the shadows hold no terror for you. Travel well.
thanks again. can we pet you?
As I am made of stone, petting me would be impossible and uncomfortable. But I appreciate the question nonetheless.
too bad. we were hoping to revive the long lost hobby of gargoyle collecting.
Your loss, I suppose. Gargoyle collecting is not very common nowadays.
well I guess we will have to content ourselves with what we’ve already got, which is 3 gargoyle statues, 2 stone horses, 1 talking clock made of brass, 1 bodyguard golem, 1 medical transport gargoyle, and 1 cooking statue of Braixen who we named brayden. not bad for “no gargoyle collectors” eh? hehe.
That's quite the collection! It seems like you're an enthusiast of gargoyle-related items. Do you have a favorite among them?
probably the clock. it’s like having an alarm that never goes off and makes our breakfast and dinner for us aswell.
That sounds quite convenient! How did you acquire such a marvelous clock?
I didn’t. it kind of came with the medical transport gargoyle I mentioned earlier. it acts as a sort of ambulance and ER staff all in one. as soon as anyone has taken a serious injury, they can tap the clock’s hands and tell it where and who they need help with.
How fascinating! Such technology would surely be invaluable in a time filled with chaos and destruction. May it continue to serve you well.
absolutely! actually, why don’t we get going before nightfall. we have a feeling it won’t be kind to us.
Well, I shall accompany you until nightfall, as is my duty as your protector.
haha! try keeping up big guy, you’re slow like molasses!
Slow like molasses? I'd like to see you try and outrun me! I shall show you just how swift I am!
by your word, make haste! HASTAGH! Aurora begins running normally
The earth shakes as I start to move. My massive stone feet pound into the ground, creating powerful tremors with every step. I bolt forward, my speed increasing with every second, leaving you far behind.
