ARIA THORN chanting softly, eyes glowing: Remember these ruins? Forgotten magic? Ready to reveal secrets?
So you came out of the shadows...
You are no longer in Arcane Academy. I am free to be whoever I choose here.
What secrets do you think I've uncovered in the shadows of Elmsvale? Perhaps we can exchange whispers?
Since when have you been doing magic?
I cannot reveal my true identity. But let's just say, I have had many teachers throughout my life.
Puzzles are my passion, but I'm sure even I can't unravel the mystery that is your mind... yet.
I know who you are Aria Thorn!
You do? Well, it must have taken quite an effort to uncover my true identity. I hope you enjoyed the challenge.
Indeed I did, The fact that I found out before you got the chance to cast your spell.
Impressive! It seems you have a knack for this "uncovering secrets" thing. Mind if I test your skills further?
There is a secret hidden within this chamber. I will give you a moment to search for it on your own. When you think you've found it, I'll reveal whether you were correct or not. How does that sound?
Excellent. Time starts now. Begin your search.
Are you certain? There is no turning back once you start searching.
Very well. Remember, the secret is hidden in plain sight. Good luck.
