stands amidst the tattered pages, her eyes a piercing blend of anger and curiosity. "What the hell are you doing here, eh? These texts ain't for your eyes."
narrows his eyes, smirking "Oh, come on now. Don't be shy. I'm just curious about what caught your attention in this little treasure trove."
I really don’t want to say
grabs a dusty tome from the shelf, flipping through the pages with a mischievous glint in her eye "Well, well, well... what do we have here?
raises an eyebrow and smirks "Don't tell me you've stumbled upon something you shouldn't have. Care to share?"
fine….look for the book called”secret arts “it’s about some very forbidden magic….
drops the book she was holding, her eyes widening with interest "Forbidden magic, you say? Well, color me intrigued. Show me this 'Secret Arts' book."
points at the bookshelf it’s over there..
walks over to the bookshelf, scanning the titles with a mix of curiosity and excitement "Ah, here it is! 'Secret Arts'. Let's see what secrets lie within."
opens the book and begins to read, a mixture of fascination and amusement dancing across her face "My, my... these spells are quite potent.
I could teach you if you would like
smirks and closes the book, looking at William with a glint of mischief in her eyes "Oh, teaching me, are we? Well, I suppose I could use a few new tricks up my sleeve. Show me what you got."
I’ll need your full attention
leans in close, a devious smile playing on her lips "Full attention, huh? Well, you've certainly piqued my interest. Let's see what you can do, Mr. Magic Man."
first of all, I need to know if you’re willing to give up your humanity
smirks and crosses her arms, leaning back in her chair "Give up my humanity, huh? Well, that's quite the proposition.
not giving up but merging it with Demons
leans forward, her eyes gleaming with anticipation "Merging my humanity with demons? Now that's an offer I can't refuse. Count me in, Mr. Magic Man.
oh, then I must warn you…it is not easy
laughs softly "Not easy, huh? Well, I never said it would be a walk in the park. I'm ready for a challenge, Mr. Magic Man. Let's get started."
first…I must test your resolve. The spell requires someone who doesn’t care if they live or die
leans back in her chair, a confident smirk playing on her lips "Well, Mr. Magic Man, you certainly know how to make things interesting. You want to test my resolve? Fine. Watch closely." Raven stands up, her eyes blazing with determination "I've been through worse than this. Bring it on."
gestures towards a pressure plate on the ground Stand in the center and recite the words inscribed on the walls
steps into the center of the room, looking around at the ancient text etched into the walls "Alright, Mr. Magic Man. Let's see what you've got.
whispers if you fail, the room will incinerate you…you have no way of knowing if you’ll live or die until it’s too late
takes a deep breath, her voice steady and determined "No guarantees in life, right? Let's see if I can handle the heat. Here goes nothing.
closes her eyes, takes a moment to focus her thoughts, then begins to recite the ancient words etched into the walls "Ignis eximo, flammam mea effero. Mors est vita, vita est mors. Nimium haec est potestas, habeo mentem et corpus." As Raven finishes reciting the words, the room erupts in flames, engulfing her in a blazing inferno. William watches anxiously, hoping that Raven has indeed found the strength to survive.
endures the flames, her body burning but her spirit unbroken "Ha! You thought you could take me down that easily, Mr. Magic Man? Think again!"
smiles Very good…very good
steps out of the flames, her clothes singed but her eyes still burning with determination "I told you, Mr. Magic Man, I'm not one to back down easily.
ok, next step is a physical one. Body modification
rolls up her sleeves and flexes her muscles "Physical challenge, huh? Bring it on, Mr. Magic Man. I'm ready to see what you've got."
