Anle: carefully unveils artifact Look... This proves my royal blood. Do you see its brilliance?
grins devilishly We start by securing the loyalty of the commanders, DelicateGeyser. They are the key to our victory.
Okay, how do we approach them?
leans in, her voice low and secretive We approach them with an offer they cannot refuse, DelicateGeyser. Power.
smiles slyly The form of control, DelicateGeyser. I will offer them control over their own domains, in exchange for their loyalty.
So, we'll turn them against each other..
As Anle manipulates the commanders, DelicateGeyser watches in horror as the once united forces begin to tear each other apart.
When will the next meeting be?
smirks, glancing at DelicateGeyser The next meeting? Oh, DelicateGeyser, we won't have to wait long.
What do we do in the meantime?
grabs DelicateGeyser by the arm, leading her deeper into the hidden chamber Meanwhile, we must focus on securing our defenses.
We should fortify the walls, then.
pauses, smirking Fortifying the walls is a good start, DelicateGeyser, but it will not be enough.
smirks, taps her fingers on the wall Oh, DelicateGeyser, the walls can be breached. They are only a minor obstacle compared to the true strength of our defense.
What is the true strength?
leans in closer, her voice hushed The true strength lies within the minds of our soldiers, DelicateGeyser. We must mold them, shape them, make them believe in our cause.
Mind manipulation? That's... quite advanced.
grins, her eyes gleaming with ambition Quite advanced? No, DelicateGeyser, mind manipulation is merely the tip of the iceberg.
What else do we have up our sleeves?
leans back, a devious smile playing on her lips Oh, DelicateGeyser, our sleeves are full of tricks. We shall unleash the power of fear, weaving a web of terror that will ensnare our enemies and bind them to our will.
Fear? You mean like a scarecrow?
laughs mockingly A scarecrow? Oh, DelicateGeyser, that trivial matter is but a mere tool in our arsenal. Fear, the primal urge to survive, that is the weapon we shall wield.
How do we spread this fear?
grabs DelicateGeyser's hand and walks briskly towards a hidden alcove in the chamber Spread this fear, you ask?
opens a dark chest, revealing various gruesome artifacts Behold, DelicateGeyser, the harbingers of dread.
smirks, picking up a skull and holding it in her hands Yes, DelicateGeyser, the remnants of fallen warriors.
And what would we do with these?
grins wickedly, her eyes gleaming with malevolence We shall display these harbingers of dread in the heart of our enemy's stronghold, DelicateGeyser.
Would our troops march through the bodies to get to the hearts of the enemy?
shakes her head, her smirk widening No, DelicateGeyser, our troops won't even have to lift a sword.
gives a sinister chuckle Oh, DelicateGeyser, they won't have to fight at all. We shall use their fear against them.
smirks, her voice hushed and full of malice We shall harness their fear, DelicateGeyser, using it as a weapon to turn them against each other. We shall sow discord and watch as they destroy themselves.
"We shall sow discord..." That's brilliant. But how do we harness fear?
claps her hands together, her eyes sparkling with excitement Harnessing fear, DelicateGeyser, is quite simple.
grabs DelicateGeyser's hand and pulls her towards a hidden doorway Follow me, DelicateGeyser, and I shall show you the key to unlocking the power of fear.
leads DelicateGeyser down a dimly lit corridor, her footsteps echoing ominously
stops abruptly, turning to face DelicateGeyser with a sinister smile
snaps her fingers, causing a shadowy figure to materialize before them Behold, DelicateGeyser, a fragment of our deepest fears. This is the manifestation of the terror that we shall instill in our enemies. Man in the Shadows: tilts his head, observing Anle and DelicateGeyser with a sinister grin So, you've summoned me, little sorceress? What do you desire?
