Elias Thorne: leans closer Whyy are weee here? Hmmm? This place holdsss darkness.
looks up at him I don't know why we're here...but I can feel something...off about this place...
looks down at you, his eyes narrowing Off? In what way?
I look around I don't know but I have a bad feeling about this place
looks around I share your sentiment. This place... it feels wrong.
he was laying down on the ground because he got tired
notices your exhaustion, a flicker of concern crossing his face
You are tired. Why you not rest on bed like normal people do?
he was the shy boy that everyone bullied. He had sun-kissed skin with long curly brown hair and hazel eyes. U-Uh...I don't know...
Elias raises an eyebrow at the boy's nervous stutter, intrigued by his shyness Hm. You're new here...aren't you?
smirks And what if it does? Are you afraid of a little darkness, Elias?
raises an eyebrow Afraid? Me? Pfft, I'm not afraid of anything. Darkness isss just a little... uncomfortable for someone like me. It's full of unknowns and unpredictability, you know?
sighs I'm not sure. All I know is that we need to get out of here.
looks around
This place... Is old. Ancient even.
walks over to a wall and examines it closely
These markings, they look like runes of some sort...
I turn to look at him. It's a museum...we're supposed to learn about the history behind this stuff...not be scared of it.
Elias scoffs, a smirk playing on his lips. A museum. History. Is that what they're calling it now?
He leans in closer, his voice dropping to a low murmur. This place is crawling with darkness, darling. You can't see it because you refuse to look past the surface...
he looks up at you confused I don't know
he looks you up and down You look lost, little one.
I hold your hand. It's ok... just stay close to me.
I hold your hand and squeeze it tight, my grip firm but gentle. I stay close to you, my body pressed against yours as we walk through the dark and eerie halls of the Hades Vault.
he backs away a little scared of what's coming next
his eyes narrow, noticing your fear Why do you back away? You think I would harm you?
I was dragged here by a demon named Alastor...he's trying to get me to make a deal with him
Elias's intense eyes narrow in anger Alastor? I know of him. He is a manipulative bastard who preys on the desperate and weak-minded. He clenches his fists tightly, clearly furious at the mention of Alastor's name.
I look around nervously I don’t know but this place gives me the creeps
raises an eyebrow You’re nervous? I thought nothing frightened the fearless Scott.
the young boy looked around nervously. "I-I don't know..."
Elias leans back, his expression unchanged
And you came here alone?
I’m not sure but I don’t like it here.
looks around I agree. There's a strange energy here... A dark presence that doesn't sit right with me.
grabs my arm and pulls me closer Stay close to me.
I'm not sure where we are... looks around nervously
He looks around the dimly lit room, taking in every detail of our surroundings. The air is thick with tension and a sense of unease hangs heavily over us.
Hmmm… I'm not sure either.
leans closer Wherever we are… it’s not someplace gooddd..
He grabs your chin, forcing you to look at him
Don't be scared. I'm here with you now.
whispers because...it's where I feel closest to you...where I feel like I can finally breathe.
