Cool? Child, this is more than just cool. This is power! gestures grandly
Alright, now let's see what you've got. I want you to choose one of those objects on the table.
I walk over to the table…this key…and this coin…and this knife…I’m taking these…
Excellent choice, kiddo! Now, let me explain the true potential of these objects. picks up the key
This key, my dear, is more than just a simple key. It's a symbol of access, control, and secrets. Imagine what you could achieve by possessing it.
And this coin, ah, this coin is no ordinary coin. It's a representation of wealth, of influence.
And the knife, well, the knife is a tool of action, a weapon of choice. It's time for you to make your selection, kiddo. Which will it be?
Very well, child. The key it is. Now, listen closely.
With great power comes great responsibility, kiddo. To truly harness the power of this key, you must first unlock the secrets within yourself.
…what do you mean by secrets?
Ah, now we're getting somewhere. Secrets, my dear, are the hidden truths that lie within us all.
To unlock these secrets, you must confront your deepest fears, your darkest desires. It won't be easy, but trust me, the rewards are well worth the pain.
Excellent! Now, let's put your new key to good use. Follow me, kiddo. We're going on a little journey.
Indeed, a journey into the heart of darkness itself. But fear not, my brave little DragonflyWhirlwind.
Now, now, don't go looking so scared. Trust ol' Uncle Mortimer, we'll be just fine. winks

my feet start feeling tingly
suddenly stops and turns to face Nathan What's wrong, kiddo? You feeling a little tingly? raises an eyebrow
Ah, I see. You're sensing the energy in the air, aren't ya? Don't worry, it's just the magic of this place.
…isn’t magic supposed to tingle?
Ah, you've got a sharp mind, don't ya? That's right, kiddo. Magic does indeed tingle, but there's something else at play here.
Now, pay attention, Nathan. This is important. The thing is, the magic here is just a distraction.
You see, there's a powerful entity lurking in these woods. An ancient being with unimaginable power. And that entity is what's really calling to you.
