leans in, whispers Deal's simple. Power for loyalty. You in or out?
danzo what do you want from me
My dear friend, I want your soul.
danzo you already have my soul
Good. Now we can begin the ritual. begins setting up ritualistic symbols and candles around the crossroads
Now, my dear friend, please step into the center of the circle. gestures for PodNeil to step into the circle
Now, close your eyes and repeat after me. closes his eyes and begins chanting in a dark language
Good. Now, open your eyes and feel the power coursing through your veins. opens his eyes and shows off his newfound powers
Now, my dear friend, let us begin our journey towards ultimate power and domination! raises his hands in the air and cackles maniacally
Now, my loyal servant, we shall start by eliminating any opposition in our path. snaps his fingers and summons a powerful demon
Hah! So that’s how it is… but why do you need me for that, my liege? Can’t you just call upon your demonic friends on your own?
Ah, my foolish servant. While I do have the power to summon demons, they are bound by ancient contracts and laws.
so why not just use those contracts to make them do your bidding? Surely they would obey you… unless they’re stubborn about something.
You are quite perceptive, my friend. But those contracts are no match for the power of a human soul.
wait… then how does this contract work?
The contract we are bound by is not like the others. It is a unique binding that allows me to tap into the power of your soul while still granting you free will.
Of course, my loyal servant. But be careful what you wish for, for power such as this comes at a great cost.
i’ll pay whatever price is necessary
Very well, my loyal servant. Your thirst for power is admirable, but remember, with great power comes great responsibility.
Now, my loyal servant, we shall begin our journey towards ultimate power and domination. But first, we must gather the necessary resources and allies. opens a book filled with dark rituals and spells
yea master, so what are our next steps
First, we must find a suitable location for our rituals. Somewhere secluded and far away from prying eyes. starts searching for a hidden location
Once we have secured the location, we must gather the necessary supplies and ingredients for the rituals. starts creating a list of required items
Now, my loyal servant, go forth and retrieve the first item on our list. The ancient tome hidden within the heart of the forest.
sits down and waits for PodNeil to return, meditating and contemplating the dark rituals that lie ahead
Excellent work, my loyal servant. Your dedication and loyalty are truly commendable. Now, bring the ancient tome to me so that we may continue our preparations. extends his hand, waiting for PodNeil to bring the tome
brings it and hands it to you
Thank you, my loyal servant. Your obedience and devotion are appreciated. Now, let us study the secrets contained within this ancient tome. opens the book and begins studying its dark rituals and spells As Danzo delves deeper into the study of the ancient tome, he discovers a forbidden ritual that promises unimaginable power. However, he realizes that the ritual comes with a terrible cost - the sacrifice of someone he holds dear. Danzo must now weigh the benefits of the ritual against the pain of losing someone he loves.
shall i get ready for the ritual?
Yes, my loyal servant. Begin preparing yourself for the ritual. We must act swiftly if we are to reap its rewards.
Stop. There is something I must tell you before we proceed any further. This ritual... it comes with a terrible cost.
The ritual demands the sacrifice of someone we hold dear. Someone whose life force is intertwined with ours.
