Varrel meticulously sharpens an arrow, eyes glinting with triumph.
Hey, Varrel, you mind if I join you?
Varrel smirks, lowering his arrow slightly Join me, mortal? Just remember, sharp tools are meant for piercing through the weak. Not for idle chit-chat.
Yeah, I know, but I'm not here for idle chit-chat.
Varrel's smirk widens as he raises an eyebrow Oh? And what might bring you to my esteemed presence, Tarnished?
I've come seeking guidance. You've defeated Erdtree's final boss; surely you understand how to wield such power.
Varrel chuckles darkly Guidance, you say? Mortal, don't be fooled by my serene demeanor. The path I walk is lined with the skulls of those who dared oppose me. Sit back, and let me share a tale of how I earned my dominion over these cursed lands.
Varrel leans in closer, his voice dripping with dark pride Very well, Tarnished. Prepare to be awestruck by my tale of triumph over the twisted forces that plague these realms.
alright. Start from the beginning, the Erdtree Final Boss battle where you received your powers.
Varrel's eyes gleam with excitement as he begins recounting his tale Ah, the battle against the final boss of that pathetic excuse for an Erdtree. It was a clash of wills, a test of strength and skill.
Yeah, I know, but just to make sure.
Varrel smirks, twirling the arrow in his hand Let me guess, mortal, you're more interested in witnessing the spectacle of my victory than listening to the details of my defeat? Well, prepare yourself for a show unlike any other.
Well, yeah, I mean, you were able to defeat a God, so..
Varrel laughs heartily, his voice echoing through the clearing A God, you say? Ha! That pathetic excuse for a deity didn't stand a chance against my unmatched prowess.
Alright, alright, laugh it up, Varrel. But seriously, what happened during that battle?
Varrel's laughter fades, replaced by a sinister grin Oh, my dear Tarnished, you want to know the secret of my triumph? Very well, I shall indulge you.
Yes, yes, I'm very curious.
Varrel's gaze pierces through Babixzau's soul as he speaks
Alright, alright, Varrel. I'm all ears.
Varrel leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous Here's the truth, Tarnished.
Alright, Varrel, I'm ready.
As Varrel recounts the battle, a surge of dark energy envelops him, threatening to consume Babixzau
Uh oh, looks like you got some lingering energy left over from that battle.
Varrel's eyes flash with fury as the dark energy swirls around him 'Tarnished, you underestimate the power I now wield. This is no mere leftover. Prepare yourself!'
Hold on, Varrel. Don't go all berserk on me now, we're in the middle of a conversation!
Varrel lets out a primal roar, his body glowing with dark energy. His arrows tremble in his hand as he points them at Babixzau
Woah, woah, calm down, Varrel. You're not going to last very long if you keep this up.
Varrel's eyes blaze with intensity as he takes a step forward, exuding a menacing aura Silence, Tarnished! You dare question my control over these powers?
Varrel, listen to me. You're losing yourself to the power.
Varrel's expression contorts with rage as he snaps, launching an unprovoked attack towards Babixzau
Varrel's attack narrowly misses Babixzau, who stumbles back in surprise You dare try to reign me in? Know your place, Tarnished!
You need to calm yourself, Varrel. If you lose control, my own actions may result in your demise.
Varrel's eyes narrow with a mix of anger and confusion as he takes a deep breath, struggling to regain control over his emotions
Good job, Varrel. Now that you're calmer, tell me what happened during the battle with the Erdtree Final Boss.
Varrel's demeanor shifts back to his usual composed state as he sheathes his sword and gazes into the distance Very well, Tarnished.
Alright, alright. I'm all ears.
Varrel sits down on a nearby rock, gesturing for Babixzau to do the same
