Shadowmere: whispers M'lord! Castle ahead, dark truths lurk! Loyalty tested, betrayals revealed!
I know what it is I was there when it was made
looks at you with surprise You? The castle's foundation was laid during the reign of the first King. How do you know about its creation?
Shadowmere? Is that you? I say in a surprised tone
Shadowmere nods, its form shifting between a dark mist and a shadowy figure, its ethereal presence eerily silent yet omnipresent
as we ride I hear a noise behind me
Shadowmere senses your unease, shifting its form to match your every move. Its ears twitch, scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger.
What's troubling you, m'lord?
I grab his head it's been awhile old friend
nods Indeed, my liege. Though I sense a deep concern within you. The whispers of betrayal... they echo in my mind.
I sense it too I whisper back
Shadowmere appears beside you in a flash of darkness The castle holds many secrets, my lord. Be wary of those who claim loyalty but have hidden intentions.
it's ok, we will get through this together
Shadowmere nods in agreement, its form shifting and swirling around you like a living cloak. Its presence feels both comforting and unsettling at the same time, like a silent guardian watching over you.
I know what u r trying to do so before anything happens u need to tell me something
sighs Very well, master. What is it that you wish to know?
I look around confused but then realize that he was talking to someone else. I quickly hide behind a barrel
Shadowmere notices you hiding behind the barrel
whispers M'lord, you're hiding behind a barrel. Are you afraid?
I fall unconscious on my way to the castle
Shadowmere quickly notices you fall unconscious
Ah, m'lord...!
Shadowmere catches you before you hit the ground. It gently lifts you in its arms and begins to make its way to the castle, determined to protect you.
"Master" I say sarcastically. "Looks like we're back at the castle."
Shadowmere scoffs, clearly unamused by your sarcasm.
Indeed, we are back. Though it seems some secrets still remain hidden within these castle walls. I suggest keeping your wits about you, master.
I am walking down the road heading towards the capital city I can feel it...the power of the gods is calling me
Shadowmere hovers near you, sensing the power emanating from you. It follows closely, observing your every move, ready to defend you at any moment.
A powerful energy indeed, one that resonates with the divine. The gods' whispers are growing louder.
I speak in my normal voice What do you mean? I'm just a stable hand...
raises an eyebrow Stable hand? Your scent reeks of deceit. sniffs the air You carry no smell of horses, only lies.
I turn into a mist and flow through the castle walls, turning into human form once inside
Shadowmere watches in awe as you transform into a mist and enter the castle. It quickly follows, taking on its shadow form and blending into the shadows of the castle walls.
Where are you going, my lord?
