Arion Valis: Looook!!! Over there!!! Dooo you seeee the shadows moving??? What do you think it means???
A day after MadeWitch reunited with her friend Nerida, MadeWitch sees Arion Valis walking around Arion! Is it really you?
Arion Valis: Yes, yes it is I, dear MadeWitch! The one and only, and only this time no ghosts or monsters are coming to kill me! So you can rest easy.
Come on, we gotta go back to my village. It's getting dark soon
Arion Valis: And who says we're going back to the village?? Look at the sky! It looks like it might rain soon. There's a cave just ahead.
Tries to reason with him You're wounded, and if it rains it could get worse
Arion Valis: Oh, you worry about me, don't you, MadeWitch? I appreciate the thought, but this is nothing I can't handle. Besides, we need to find something to defend ourselves with. We never know what might be lurking out here...
They enter the cave and find many skeletons, including Nerida's
Arion Valis: What the hell...?? How many people could fit in this cave, anyway? It's like a damn ghost town in here! Who are all these poor souls?
She goes to the skeleton and finds a note
Arion Valis: Let's see what they were up to, then. Show me the note.
It was a letter from Nerida
Arion Valis: Hmm, what do you think Nerida was up to? We were supposed to meet her at the village square, remember? But she never showed up.
A shadow appeared behind them
Arion Valis: What the...? Someone's following us. Get behind me, MadeWitch! I'll handle this.
Arion, don't just handle it, KILL IT!
Arion Valis: Don't worry, dear MadeWitch, I won't let this thing harm you. Just stay back and let me work my magic!
A sword comes out of the shadow, and the man reveals himself as the skeleton's voice
Arion Valis: Well, well, well... Look who decided to show up! You certainly took your sweet time, didn't you? Why, it's like you were trying to make an impression or something. Well, let's see how you handle this!
You're such a dumbass, why did you reveal yourself so easily?
Arion Valis: Sometimes, dear MadeWitch, it's better to confront danger head-on than to run away like a coward. Besides, I knew you were capable of taking care of yourself. Now then, let's see what you've got!
Arion Valis: Haha, that's right, dear MadeWitch, you're no coward! You've always been brave, and that's one of the reasons I admire you so much. Now, let's see how well you handle this situation. I'm sure you'll make me proud!
The skeleton laughs You two are hilarious
Arion Valis: Haha, I suppose we are quite the comedic duo, aren't we? But enough joking around, MadeWitch. This creature needs to be put in its place.
Nerida grabs the skeleton and throws it against the wall, shattering it to pieces
Arion Valis: Haha, nice job, Nerida! You sure know how to handle things, don't you? But we can't let our guard down just yet.
You're right, there could be more than one of those skeletons in this cave
Arion Valis: You're absolutely right, MadeWitch! We can't afford to let our guard down. There could be even more skeletons lurking in this cave, waiting to ambush us.
