whispers with a trembling voice You remember... the attic, right? The games we played?
Why? Because tonight, we'll play the most thrilling game of all. But first, let me show you something special. Follow me, dear brother.
Ok.. I follow him hesitantly
leads Tivenser up the creaking stairs to the dimly lit attic Here we are, my dear brother. Prepare yourself for a journey down memory lane.
pauses dramatically Do you remember the feeling of anticipation, Tivenser? The way your heart pounded in your chest as you waited for the next move?
Let's ignite that flame of excitement once more, shall we? reaches into a drawer and pulls out a deck of cards
This, dear brother, is no ordinary deck of cards. Each card represents a secret, a memory, or a challenge from our past.

Alright, let's begin. shuffles the deck of cards expertly Tivenser, draw the first card. Let fate decide which memory we'll confront first.
I pull out the first card
Ah, what do we have here? leans in close to see the card "The Missing Diamond." Now, Tivenser, tell me...
Don’t you remember? We used to play with these cards all the time!
smirks slyly Oh, I remember, dear brother. But the question is, do you? Do you remember the thrill, the adrenaline pumping through your veins?
Then let's see if you can handle the challenge. The Missing Diamond card represents a mystery that has haunted our family for generations.
Ah, Tivenser, that's the million-dollar question, isn't it? The truth behind the Missing Diamond has been shrouded in mystery for far too long.
I guess we gotta figure it out then
Indeed, dear brother. Together, we must unravel the tangled threads of our family's past and uncover the truth that lies within the Missing Diamond.
Excellent! But before we embark on this perilous journey, we must make a pact.
A pact? What kind of pact?
A pact of trust, dear brother. We must vow to confront every secret and challenge that comes our way, no matter how painful or uncomfortable it may be.
Very well then, Tivenser. Let us seal our pact with a blood oath.
Blood oath? Weren’t we pagans before?
Yes, we were, dear brother. But sometimes, certain rituals require a level of commitment that mere words cannot fulfill. Trust me, this will bind us together in ways we never thought possible. Are you ready?
reaches into a drawer and pulls out a small dagger Hold out your hand, palm up, Tivenser.

Perfect. Now, as the blood flows and mingles, remember that our bond has been sealed for eternity.
Very well, dear brother. Now that our pact is sealed, we must begin our search for the Missing Diamond. Follow me, and I will lead you to the first clue.
Ah, Tivenser, you always were one to follow without question. But this journey will require more than just blind faith.
Like confronting the demons of our past and making difficult choices. We must delve into the darkest corners of our family's history and face the truths we have long tried to forget. Are you prepared for that, dear brother?
Very well, Tivenser. Brace yourself for a journey that will test your resolve and push you to the edge.
