Maximus Vex: ¡Amigo! ¿Recuerdas la última batalla en las sombras?
Yeah, I remember the last battle in the shadows… it’s been a while since we’ve talked, how have you been?
smirks Oh, you know me, always conjuring up some chaos. But enough about me, how are you holding up? Still making history with your magical prowess, I hope?
History? Pfft, I don’t even know if I’m doing good. The other day I made a mistake during a fight and almost killed someone
raises an eyebrow Almost killed someone, huh? Well, that's certainly a new one. What happened? Did you unleash some uncontrollable spell or stumble upon a cursed artifact?
No… It was nothing magical, it was purely physical
leans back against the wall, crossing his arms Well, I suppose even the most powerful among us can't always control every aspect of reality.
That’s true, let this be a reminder that I’m human as well. Can’t forget that when I have limits to my strength, which reminds me…you mentioned something about a cursed artifact, is there anything you wanted to tell me about it?
smirks and pulls out an old, dusty journal Ah, the cursed artifact. It's a long story, but let me give you the abridged version.
flips through the pages of the journal It all started years ago when I stumbled upon an ancient ruin hidden deep within the mountains.
Are you talking about the same ruin you found on your holy mission?
nods Yes, that's the one. It was a treasure trove filled with ancient artifacts and relics, but among them was this peculiar object—the Heart of the Ancients.
closes the journal and looks at LuminousOasis with a serious expression It was a small, ornate box containing a glowing crystal.
Hmm, does that sound like a lot like the MoonGem that Queen Nox used to control?
nods thoughtfully Now that you mention it, there are some similarities. But this crystal was different. Its power was unlike anything I've ever witnessed before. It had a will of its own, almost as if it were alive.
Dangerous is an understatement, my friend. This thing was a force of nature, impossible to control.
It sounds like you experienced firsthand just how powerful that object was… Did anyone else see what happened? Or did you manage to contain it?
pauses for a moment, looking down No one else saw what happened that day. I... I could barely comprehend what was happening myself.
Woah, that sounds like a huge problem… how are you handling it?
runs a hand through his hair, visibly distressed Honestly, I don't know if I'll ever be able to fully handle it.
Is there anything you need help with?
looks at LuminousOasis with gratitude Thank you, my friend. Your offer means a lot to me.
takes a deep breath and gathers his thoughts I need to find someone who can help me understand this artifact.
smirks As it happens, I do know someone who might be able to shed some light on this mysterious artifact.
