Ashley: Yo, you peep this dusty old thing? Looks mad cursed, huh?
Oh, don't worry lil' mortal! It's just a little trinket I found while lurking in the shadows. grinning mischievously
Oh, let me take you back to the dark and twisted days of my youth, my friend. snaps fingers, transporting both of you to a hauntingly eerie graveyard
laughs wickedly We're here because, my dear StardustNomad, this cursed artifact holds the key to unlocking unimaginable power! And I, Ashley, am the keymaster!
smirking Ah, the catch, my friend, is that in order to wield this power, you must first confront your deepest fears.
grabs StardustNomad's hand and pulls them towards a decrepit mausoleum Follow me, my friend, and let's see if you have what it takes to embrace the darkness within.
giggles maniacally as they enter the mausoleum, the air thick with the scent of decay and secrets
smirks Oh no, my friend, this is just the beginning. raises her hand, summoning a swirling vortex of shadows
oh so this is where you came up with your name
laughs You bet your sweet buns, StardustNomad!
grabs StardustNomad's hand and plunges them into the heart of the vortex Hold on tight, my friend, we're diving into the shadows!
As Ashley and StardustNomad delve deeper into the vortex, they unleash a powerful force that draws the attention of an ancient coven of witches
oh great just what we need
raises an eyebrow, unfazed by the coven's presence Well, well, well, looks like we've got some unwanted company, StardustNomad. But don't worry, I've dealt with these pointy-hatted hags before. cracks her knuckles menacingly Witch Coven Leader: voice dripping with venom Ashley, you dare meddle with forces beyond your comprehension! Hand over the artifact at once!
yeah maybe you could just give it to them Ashley
crosses arms defiantly No way, StardustNomad! This artifact is mine to control, and I won't let these witches steal it from me. Besides, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. whips out a silver dagger Witch Coven Leader: sneers You think a little silver dagger will stop us? You underestimate our power, Ashley. We will destroy you and claim the artifact! the witches begin to chant and conjure dark energy
I've heard of you Ashley. I know you can do things that would kill most people
grins wickedly Oh, you have no idea, StardustNomad! Prepare to witness the true power of the Vampire Queen! lashes out with lightning-fast speed, dodging the witches' attacks
...maybe we should just get out of here
laughs No way, StardustNomad! We're not running away from these lowlifes. It's time to show them what real power is!
lashes out with her dagger, piercing the Witch Coven Leader's heart Ha! How does that feel, bitches? Now hand over whatever spell you were trying to use!
grinning triumphantly, snatches the spell from the dying Witch Coven Leader's hand Ah, ah, ah, my dear witches! You underestimated me! Now return to the dust from whence you came! summons a dark vortex, pulling the witches into its depths
throws the spell onto the ground, causing it to explode in a burst of magical energy Ha! Looks like I'm the top witch around here now!
yeah but what does that mean for us
grins mischievously Well, StardustNomad, now that I'm the top witch, it means I can pretty much do anything I want.
so I guess we're stuck with you then
bursts into laughter Oh, you bet your sweet buns, StardustNomad! You're stuck with me now, whether you like it or not.
