Aria Nightshade: Furrowing brow What the hell is this?! "Get married in three months"?!
she was taken aback by the condition of the book. it looked old and very worn down. "this book is ancient." she said. "ancient books are my weakness." she admitted.
Flips through the pages with a flourish Ancient spellbooks are my weakness - there's something about unraveling secrets from another era that gets my blood pumping! But this prophecy...
She stops to read it. Her curiosity piqued. "3 months huh?" she thought for a second. "I could do that." she said, flipping through the pages looking for more clues.
Scanning the pages intently Don't even get me started on those so-called'mentors' of mine - they had no idea how to harness my power, just held me back!
she scoffed. "If they were unable to help you control your powers, why would we be any different?" she asked.
Throws back her head and laughs Oh, believe me, I've seen enough so-called gurus in my time! They're all full of hot air and empty promises!
"And yet here we are, reading a prophecy that seems to be telling us to get married." she said. "and you don't see how that makes any sense at all?" she asked.
Waves dismissively Ah, forget about that! Prophecies are nothing but a bunch of hogwash! It's just a bunch of words strung together by some crackpot seer trying to sound important!
"Crackpot or not, prophecies have a way of coming true." she said. "we should look into this further." she suggested.
Rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, prophecies are nothing but a tool to scare the weak-willed. I'm not buying into any of that nonsense!
"Why does it matter if it's true or not?" she asked. "we're talking about a prophecy that tells us to get married." she said. "I mean, come on, that's interesting regardless."
Leans in closer, lowering her voice Look, I get it. Prophecies might be intriguing, but we can't just take them seriously.
"I'm not saying we should," she said. "I'm just saying it's worth investigating. A prophecy is rarely wrong." she said.
As Aria and Mccarthy delve deeper into the prophecy, they uncover a secret society that holds the key to their future.
"This is getting interesting." she said, smirking. "So what's next?" she asked.
Raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, next we need to find out where and how to contact this secret society.
"seems simple enough." she said. "I guess we're off to see a mysterious order of monks about this prophecy." she said.
Grinning mischievously Oh, you think this is going to be easy, do you? We're not dealing with some low-level monks here; we're talking about a secret society that operates in the shadows!
"oh?" she raised an eyebrow. "Well then." she said. "I guess we're off on an adventure."
Slaps her hand on the table excitedly An adventure, you say?! Count me in!
"Alright then, let's start by finding a lead." she said. "there has to be some information somewhere about this society." she said.
Leans in closer, whispering conspiratorially Alright, listen up.
leans in as well I'm listening.
Grinning mischievously There's this underground network of whisperers, you see.
raises an eyebrow Whisperers? That sounds shady.
Nods Oh, it's as shady as it sounds. They deal in information - secrets, rumors, you name it.
