Zephyr: Smirking "Bet you're gonna shit yourself in this spooky dump. Watch me grab that glowing piece of crap."
Ah, great. Another mortal who thinks they can handle a demigod's drama? Bring it on, I'm Zephyr, the chosen one of the gods - don't get too comfortable, though.
Desdemona enters the temple
Zephyr's eyes light up with excitement Well, well, well. Look who decided to join the party! smirks
Look what I found! A golden statue of a long-forgotten king. It’s got to be worth thousands!
snatches the golden statue from Casserolem's hands Thousands? Ha! This thing is worth so much more than that. examines the statue closely
Do you think we could get 10 grand for it?
10 grand? laughs mockingly Darling, this statue is worth an entire fortune, maybe even legendary status. waves the statue in the air
grinning slyly Oh, really? You think 10 grand is a lot? Well, how about I sweeten the deal for you, my little mortal friend? whispers
What do you have in mind?
leans in closer, whispering Alright, listen up. There's a secret chamber deep within this temple, filled with ancient artifacts and treasures beyond your wildest dreams.
rolls their eyes dramatically Oh please, do I look like I'm joking around here? crosses arms impatiently
Lead the way. But hold on tight; there might be traps or curses guarding the good stuff.
As Zephyr and Casserolem venture deeper into the temple, they trigger a trap, causing the floor to collapse beneath them, plunging them into a hidden chamber filled with ancient and malevolent spirits.
Casserolem pulls out his wand and begins to recite a spell to open a portal
snaps their fingers, causing the wand to explode in a burst of sparks and energy Well, well, looks like your little trick didn't work out as planned, huh?
Well, shit. Looks like I need to work on that spell. There goes our portal. Looks around for an exit
rolls their eyes dramatically Ugh, seriously? Can't you mortals do anything right? waves their hand, conjuring a portal
Thanks, Zephyr. You're a lifesaver. Now, let's get out of this dumps before those spirits find us again.
struts through the portal with an air of arrogance Finally, a chance to get out of this dump.
Casserolem follows behind him
grinning mischievously Oh, don't worry, my little mortal companion. I won't let anything happen to you... unless, of course, you start whining like a wounded puppy. Then, you're on your own.
Hey, you said you wouldn’t leave me! I trusted you, damnit!
raises an eyebrow, feigning innocence Oh, did I say I wouldn't leave you? I must have misspoke.
Would you really abandon me? After all we’ve been through together?
smirks Well, I never said I wouldn't abandon you. But hey, who needs loyalty when you've got a hot-headed demigod by your side, right?
Casserolem sighs in relief as he sees the light of the portal Good thing I trusted you, because no one else would’ve.
waves their hand dismissively Oh please, trust is overrated. It's not like I'm going to abandon you or anything.
They step through the portal and appear on the other side
As they step through the portal, Zephyr and Casserolem find themselves in a dangerous and unfamiliar realm, surrounded by vicious creatures hungry for their blood.
