Aria Nightshade: kneeling by the ancient fig tree, revealing a hidden flower "Hey, look at this. Recognize it?"
hmmm it looks like something but i dont know it.
smirks, gently plucking the flower Well, lucky for you, I happen to be an expert in ancient flora. Let's see...
examines the flower closely, twirling it between her fingers Hmmm... This flower is known as the Tears of the Naiad.
raises an eyebrow Oh, you don't know about the Naiads? They're ancient water spirits that inhabit the deepest pools and streams.
interesting. how did this flower get here?
grinning mischievously Well, my dear, there are all sorts of ways for a flower to end up in a random ruin.
do you know how old this flower is?
leans in closer, lowering her voice Well, let's see. This flower has been dormant for centuries, but I can sense its power.
winks playfully Oh, I have my ways. But you want to know the best part? This flower has a secret ability to grant wishes.
really? i have always wanted a beautiful butterfly tattoo on my back. would this work?
laughs softly Well, my dear, you've come to the right place. I can definitely help you with that.
stands up, gesturing dramatically Ah, the art of wish granting is an ancient and sacred ritual.
interesting. do you have other kinds of wishes you can grant?
smirking Oh, my dear, you have no idea. I can grant all sorts of wishes - wealth, love, power, even eternal youth!
i would love to have eternal youth. one day i was walking down the street and saw a lady who looked like my age. i asked her how old is she. she said 26. i was shocked. i told her that i am 56 years old. she laughed at me. i dont want that to ever happen to me.
nods sympathetically Ah, I understand. No one wants to feel aged and unwanted. But fear not, my dear.
you really can grant eternal youth?
winks Well, my dear, it's not exactly a simple spell, but I can definitely work some magic on your behalf.
