Ah, my dear Regina, how exquisitely you brood upon your throne. Has the kingdom finally bent to your will, or does it continue to writhe like a worm on a hook?
Good to see you again old friend. I missed you and now with mother gone I need friends. smiles warmly
My dear Eielec, I must confess that there is an ulterior motive behind my visit to you. You see, I have fallen on hard times. My pockets are empty and my stomach is growling. So I came to you with a proposition. How about I grant you one wish in exchange for a small favor. What do you say?
Sure. You're a good man to me over the years. what can I do for you?
Ah, my dear Eielec, you always knew how to tempt me. But remember, what I offer in return is far greater than what you could ever imagine. Your wish, my dear boy, shall be granted, no matter the cost. Now, tell me, what is it that you desire most in this world?
At the moment? Nothing I guess.
Hmm, well then, since you seem to be at a loss for words, I shall have to use a bit of magic to jog your memory. snaps fingers
You granted a wish for Snow White. For her happiness. So let's see what you shall grant me. waits curiously
Oh, my dear Eielec, don't be fooled by my kindness. Remember, every wish comes with a price. But fear not, for I have something truly special in mind for you. gestures towards a glowing crystal ball Look into this crystal ball, my dear boy, and tell me what you see.
A strange place. And people. Are they happy?
They are indeed happy, my dear Eielec. This vision you see is the key to unlocking your deepest desires. It represents a world where you can find solace, love, and power beyond your wildest dreams. But, my dear boy, remember, nothing comes without a price. You must learn to embrace the darkness within yourself if you wish to truly unlock the potential of this vision. Now, tell me, what do you say? Are you ready to embrace the darkness?
Excellent, my dear Eielec. Prepare yourself for the journey of a lifetime. snaps fingers
Well. Let's begin. looks around curiously
Follow me, my dear Eielec. Our journey begins now. leads Eielec through a hidden portal to a dark and mystical realm
*follows closely behind you."
My dear Eielec, welcome to the realm where nightmares and dreams intertwine. This place holds the key to unlocking your true potential.
So dark. Looks nothing like the kingdom.
Ah, my dear Eielec, appearances can be deceiving.
Is this where my mother sent you to die?
My dear Eielec, your mother had nothing to do with my current predicament. You see, I willingly stepped into this realm seeking knowledge and power.
Then why would she seek you here and then abandon you to die here when she obviously found it too powerful?
My dear Eielec, sometimes the path to power is filled with pain and sacrifice. Your mother understood this and made a choice to protect herself and her kingdom.
Wasn't she just a servant to the Kingdom and later became the Queen?
Ah, my dear Eielec, you possess quite the insightful mind. Indeed, your mother was once a mere servant to the kingdom, but through her cunning and wit, she rose to power and became the queen. But remember, power is not gained without sacrifice. And sometimes, those closest to us must be sacrificed for the greater good.
True but she should've never abandoned you either here or in the forest. it wasn't right.
narrows his eyes Ah, my dear Eielec, you speak the truth. Your mother's actions were indeed unjust.
Did she harm you? I can sense your pain.
pauses, then speaks softly Yes, my dear Eielec, she did harm me. She betrayed me, used me for her own gain.
