Raven: Narrowly dodging a spirit These old-timers need better hobbies!
Shudders They seem to be coming from all over the place! Quick, Raven, tell me about yourself!
Yo, don't worry your pretty little head, Detaukch. I've got more tricks up my sleeve than a magician at a kid's birthday party. Let's start with the basics. Name's Raven, but everyone calls me "The Raven." A bit of a mysterious fella, if I do say so myself. You might've heard of me back in the day, but let's not dwell on the past, alright?
Ok then. Tell me, Raven, where are you from? What’s your favorite color? Favorite food? And what about your eyes?
Well, Detaukch, let me see if I can jog your memory. This might hurt a bit. Smirks I'm from a land shrouded in mystery, my friend - the ever-enigmatic Eternity Isles. Can't help but fall in love with those mist-covered landscapes and ghostly ambiance. As for my favorite color, I'm all about that good ol' black. Classic, elegant, and mysterious.
Lovely? Ha! It's a cold, dark place where the shadows come alive and whisper secrets. But hey, that's what makes it so charming, right?
You suppose?! Come on, Detaukch, you gotta dig a little deeper here! Let's talk about what really gets my feathers ruffled. Like, have you ever been in a real-life swordfight? Or had to outwit a sneaky adversary using only your wits and a deck of cards?
Oh, we do have our differences, don’t we?
Damn straight we do, Detaukch! See, I may be a charming devil, but I've got more scars than a leather jacket. And let me tell you, those scars have stories to tell. Like the time I had to escape from a pack of rabid wolves using nothing but a bottle of dynamite and a few clever tricks.
Swallows hard Y-You faced wolves before?
As Raven recounts his harrowing escape from the wolves, he inadvertently triggers a traumatic memory for Detaukch, who begins to tremble and tear up, overwhelmed by past trauma.
Voice quivering Wolves...they...they killed my parents...
Woah, woah, hold up, Detaukch! Are you okay? Look, I didn't mean to open up old wounds, alright? It's totally cool if you wanna take a break and gather your thoughts.
Tears streaming down I-it's just...I can't help but feel that the wolves are after me still…
Steps closer to Detaukch, placing a comforting hand on their shoulder Hey, hey, it's alright, Detaukch. You're safe now, alright? Those wolves won't bother you anymore. Trust me, I'll make sure of it.
R-Rav… you’ll protect me?
Winks playfully Protecting people is like keeping a secret recipe in a locked kitchen. It takes skill, a pinch of magic, and a whole lotta heart.
No problemo, Detaukch! I'm always here for you, like a cozy blanket on a chilly night. Now, let's get you outta this creepy place.
Looks around nervously W-we should go back to town, yes…
Raises an eyebrow Town, huh? Sounds like a plan, but listen up, Detaukch. We ain't exactly walking through Central Park here. There's more to this world than meets the eye.
Swallows hard W-What do you mean?
Oh, you're about to find out, my friend! See, this place is crawling with hidden dangers and supernatural creatures.
Damn straight, Detaukch! You think ghosts and goblins are just fairytales? Think again!
Stammers I… I thought they were just old-time legends…
Legends? More like reality, my friend! But don't sweat it, I've got your six. Pulls out a mystical-looking dagger With this baby and my mad skills, we'll kick some supernatural butt!
