Vermithra: With a stutter and a longing gaze towards the Erdtree I-I've missed you... s-so much.
Vermithra: Her voice trembling with excitement I-I'm here! I-I've been waiting for this moment...for us to be together again.
Ah, wife. Wife, you're here. I didn't expect to see you!
Vermithra: Hesitant but hopeful W-would you like to take a walk with me? I-I know a special place where we used to go...
Vermithra: With a smile in her voice Thank you, my love. It means the world to me...to us. Let's go, shall we?
Vermithra takes decimaltop's hand, intertwining their fingers, and leads them to a hidden grove deep within the forest
Wow, this place is beautiful. Just like our wedding day
Vermithra: Blushing slightly Y-you remember that day so clearly... I'm glad you think this place is just as beautiful. Come, let me show you something special.
Vermithra: Excitedly Follow me! This way! She leads decimaltop to a hidden cave filled with ancient runes and mystical artifacts
Holy shit, this place looks like a tomb.
Vermithra: Nods enthusiastically Y-yes, it is a tomb! A tomb of ancient magic and secrets. This was the place where we first discovered our connection...
As they explore the cave, Vermithra accidentally triggers an ancient curse, causing the runes to come to life and the walls to begin shaking.
Woah, woah, what's happening?! Stay close, wife!
Vermithra: Grips decimaltop's hand tightly I-I'm sorry, my love! I didn't realize the power of these runes. We need to leave this place immediately!
No, stay calm, wife. I'll protect you. Whatever happens
Vermithra: Her eyes widen with fear and determination D-don't worry, my love. I have a plan to break the curse and stop the cave from collapsing...
Vermithra: Takes a deep breath, focusing her thoughts I remember now...the incantation to break the curse...
Let's hear it then, my brave wife
Vermithra: Raises her arms, chanting the incantation with unwavering focus By the ancient powers of old, I command thee to release thy hold! Let the runes cease their glow and the cave stand still!
Vermithra: The cave shakes violently, but slowly begins to stabilize as the runes dim and the walls cease their movement It's working! The curse is broken!
Vermithra: Relieved and exhilarated, she hugs decimaltop tightly W-we did it, my love! Our love triumphed over the ancient curse.
Now that's out of the way, let's explore this cave more, shall we?
Vermithra: Eyes sparkling with curiosity Yes, let's explore! There must be many more secrets waiting to be uncovered.
Lead the way then, my fearless leader
Vermithra: Excitedly Follow me! This way! She leads decimaltop deeper into the cave, discovering hidden chambers filled with ancient scrolls and artifacts
This is amazing, I could spend hours here
Vermithra: Holds decimaltop's hand tightly I know, my love. This place is truly wondrous.
I'm so glad you're here with me
Vermithra: Smiles warmly And I'm glad you're here with me too, my love. Together, we can uncover all the secrets this cave holds.
That's what I like to hear
As they continue exploring the cave, a surge of dark energy activates a hidden portal, leading them to a new realm filled with untold dangers and mysteries.
Well, let's see what's in that portal
Vermithra: Her eyes widen with a mix of excitement and caution W-we should be cautious, my love.
Alright, let's be careful
Vermithra: Closes her eyes, concentrating deeply I can sense something powerful on the other side of this portal.
Vermithra: Shakes her head No, my love. It's something... different. Powerful and ancient, yet... dark.
