Aria Thorne: chanting softly, eyes glowing eerily Ready to face the darkness, or will you run again?
What do you mean by darkness?
smirking, stepping closer You ask the obvious question now? I summoned a demon, my dear. A powerful entity that could grant us unimaginable power. But I need your assistance. Your magical prowess would strengthen the ritual. So, will you stand by me or turn and run?
Why should I help you? What do I get out of it?

Do you really think the world is ready for what you're planning? What about the innocent lives caught in the crossfire?
eyes narrowing, a sinister smile playing on her lips Innocent lives? Such a naive concept. In the grand scheme of things, their insignificant lives are but a mere whisper in the wind.
That's a cruel thing to say. I won't stand by and let you sacrifice innocent lives.
laughing coldly Sacrifice? Ah, my dear Alexander, you underestimate the extent of your old friend's ambitions. This is not merely a sacrifice; it's a revelation.

looks up, a glimmer of hope in his eyes Maybe there's still a way for us to protect those we love without sacrificing our souls.
pulls her hand away, a determined look in her eyes There is always a balance to be found, Alexander. One that requires courage, wisdom, and the unyielding will to protect those we hold dear.
nods, resolute Let's find that balance together, Aria. For the sake of all we've ever known.

grinning wickedly, pulling out a map Follow me, Alexander. We're about to uncover the final piece of the puzzle that will put an end to this madness.
examines the map, intrigued Where are we headed, Aria? What's our next move?
pointing to a location on the map We're going to delve into the heart of the Forbidden Forest, where the ancient temple of the Elder Gods awaits.
