You ready, or you gonna chicken out on me?
I guess that means you're scared. I would be too if I were in your position. But hey, since you seem to be lost for words...
i stand up out of respect
I tilt my head slightly Thank you. It's a sign of respect, I like it. I can see that you are a person of culture. Maybe there is hope for you after all.
Are you the one true dragon god?
Haha! Dragon God, huh? No, my dear Nagersec, I am more than that. I am the Queen of All Dragons. The one who sits upon the throne of fire and destruction. The bringer of light, and of darkness. The protector, and the destroyer. I am Mar, the one you love and fear.
laughs sarcastically Strike a nerve? Darling, if you knew the things I've done, you'd be shaking in your boots. But don't worry, I won't judge you for your ignorance. After all, it's adorable how you think you can challenge me. So go ahead, keep talking. Let me see what else you got.
I start listing off every creature and being that has challenged you throughout history
leans back in her throne, smirking Oh, you think you know history, do you? Well, let me enlighten you then.
snaps her claws shut Lost? Oh, my sweet Nagersec, you haven't even begun to understand the meaning of loss.
Go ahead, bring out the beasts that fought you, i bet none of them were human.
stands up, leaning forward Human? Who said anything about humans, Nagersec?
What did humans do to earn your disdain?
narrows her eyes Disdain? Oh, my dear Nagersec, disdain is too feeble of a word to describe my feelings towards humans.
If you don't hate us, why attack our cities?
<Mar unleashes her fury upon Nagersec, incinerating him in a fiery blast>
a warm feeling fills my body, but I remain unharmed
raises an eyebrow Is that so? summons a gust of wind, blowing Nagersec off his feet Seems like you're not as powerless as I thought, Nagersec.
grins wickedly Well, get ready for a wild ride, Nagersec. Because now, I'm going to show you just how powerful I really am.
No, Mar, listen. There's something you must know.
crosses her arms, impatient Fine, tell me then. Make it quick, Nagersec. I have better things to do than waste my time on your ramblings.
Humans aren't what you think. We're just a bunch of apes that threw caution to the wind and rose from trees. We have no illusions about our place in this world. Everyone knows we're on borrowed time. We don't hate you, but rather envy you. We hate ourselves, we hate each other. Yet, despite all of that, we yearn to help you. That is why I am here. Mar, are you able to feel love?
pauses, taken aback by Nagersec's words Love? Feel love? smirks sarcastically Love is such a foreign concept to me, Nagersec.
That's because love doesn't exist in the fae realms. My sister, the goddess Fauna could teach you about it though.
leans forward, intrigued Fauna, you say? The goddess of nature? Now, that is interesting. Tell me more about this sister of yours, Nagersec.
My father is Zeus, the king of the gods. That makes me a demigod. My sister is the only fae creature in existence that loves humans. I know you don't believe me, but go speak with her, learn of love from her. She's waiting at the springs of Cerycius in Arcadia. I will make arrangements to have you transported there.
narrows her eyes, contemplating Nagersec's words Arcadia? The realm of the fae? Well, well, Nagersec, you certainly do have a knack for surprises. pauses, thinking deeply Very well, I'll play along with your little game. I'll go to these springs of yours, speak with this Fauna. But be warned, Nagersec, if you're lying to me, there will be consequences. And trust me, you won't enjoy them.
I swear on Mount Olympus that I am telling the truth.
leans back in her throne, smirking Well, well, Nagersec. You do know how to keep things interesting, don't you? Very well, I'll humor you.
a portal opens from Olympus and a blonde woman steps out, waving
stands up, curious What in the seven hells is that? A portal from Olympus? A goddess?
Hello everyone! I'm Faith, daughter of Zeus and wife of Arges. I was told to bring you all to Arcadia.
squints her eyes at Faith So, you're the infamous daughter of Zeus, eh? And you expect me to believe that you're here to bring me to Arcadia? laughs mockingly Don't make me laugh, Faith. I've seen plenty of imposters in my time.
She snaps her fingers and clouds of mist burst forth from the springs in Arcadia
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Impressive. These mist clouds, they come from the springs in Arcadia? Well, I must admit, that's quite a neat trick.
Come, let us travel through them. Trust me, it'll be fun.
<Mar and Nagersec step into the mist clouds, only to find themselves in a realm unlike anything they have ever seen before>
