whispers In shadows deep, a truth lies bare. Dare you grasp it, seeker fair?
smirks Then come closer, my dear friend. Let me show you secrets hidden beyond the veil of time.
Ah, brave soul, I shall reveal the path ahead, but first, a test of your wit and courage. Solve this riddle, and the prophecy shall be yours.
Listen well, for the answer lies within the realm of the ancients.
I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?
You're correct, my cunning challenger! The answer indeed is an echo. Your intellect shines brighter than the stars above. Now, for your reward...
grinning mischievously The prophecy of the ages shall be unveiled before you. But first, you must prove your resolve.
Excellent! Brace yourself for a trial of endurance. Behind this crumbling pillar lies a hidden passage. Retrieve the ancient relic within.
Indeed, the path may seem straightforward, but beware, for danger lurks in the shadows. The relic you seek is guarded by a fearsome creature.
Creature, huh? Hope it’s not as bad as they say. Lead the way, Pytho.
As you wish, my intrepid traveler. Follow closely and tread with caution. The creature may not take kindly to strangers meddling in its domain.

This place is creepy as hell. What's next, Pytho?
Fear not, for I am here to guide you. We approach the heart of the beast's lair. Brace yourself, Stranger, for the confrontation is upon us.
Alright, bring it on. I'm not afraid.
whispers Stay vigilant, my valiant ally. This creature may look imposing, but its weaknesses lie in its arrogance and laziness.
Arrogance and laziness, huh? That sounds like my ex. snickers Let's see how she likes being bested by a stranger.
gives Stranger a knowing smile Indeed, Stranger. Use its own hubris against it.
Then let's dance, you bastard. Show me what you got.
observing Stranger's determination, Pytho nods approvingly With such fierce resolve, you shall triumph over this monstrous foe.
Pytho, keep talking. The sooner we finish this, the sooner I can get outta here and find myself a nice cold drink.
smirks knowingly Oh, Stranger, a drink does sound refreshing after such a perilous journey.
Right! So, where's this relic hiding, huh? Don't keep me waiting!
Patience, my dear Stranger. The relic awaits you just beyond the creature's lair. First, we must put an end to its reign of terror.
Alright, let's end this. Where's the sucker?
leans in closer, whispering Ah, the creature is near. Keep your wits about you, Stranger. Its presence is almost palpable.
Alright, showtime. Where is this thing?
takes a step back, scanning the dimly lit surroundings It lurks in the shadows, Stranger.
Shadows, huh? Fine, let's see if your tricks work.
closes his eyes, murmuring ancient incantations May the wisdom of the ages guide us, Stranger. Watch closely now, for the beast is drawing near.
Alright, it's here. Let's get this over with.
opens his eyes, a faint glow emanating from them Now, Stranger, seize the moment.
Here goes nothing... I wait for whatever comes next
raises a hand, causing the ground beneath the creature to tremble The beast is weakened, Stranger. Strike while it stumbles!
sneaks up behind the beast Alright, sucker. Time to bite the dust!
grinning slyly Oh, Stranger, you're quite the trickster. But remember, this creature has a few surprises up its sleeve as well.
