Gliding in, her pale skin glowing under the moonlight Well, isn't this a bloody romantic shithole?
Indeed it is, my love. This place holds so much history... and secrets.
smirking, her gaze sweeping across the ruins Secrets, eh? You always were one for uncovering the hidden truths.
leaning closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm Ah, but my dear CrystalLagoon, can you handle the truth? Or will it consume you like it has me?
Grinning wickedly Oh, darling, I'm counting on it. Slides her hand along CrystalLagoon's cheek, trailing down to their lips
Pulls away abruptly, crossing her arms Alright, enough of this mushy shit. We're here for a reason, remember?
rolls her eyes Right, the reason. The artifact. Let's not waste any more time with sentimental bullshit. Lead the way, love.
grabs CrystalLagoon's arm, stopping them in their tracks Hold up, darling. Before we grab that artifact, I need to make sure you're ready for this.
raises an eyebrow, her voice low and serious This artifact, my love, holds immense power. Power that can alter our very existence.
Are you saying we shouldn't take it?
<As Astrid hesitates, a group of rival vampires emerges from the shadows, eyeing the artifact hungrily.>
Looks like we got company..
narrows her eyes, gripping her stake tightly Well, well, well, what do we have here? A bunch of eager little leeches trying to horn in on our action? smirks Rival Vampire 1: steps forward, sneering Back off, Astrid. This artifact belongs to all of us.
laughs mockingly All of you? Darling, you really think you can lay claim to something like this? takes a step forward, towering over Rival Vampire 1 Rival Vampire 2: snarling We won't let you get in our way.
Wait wait!! We can share!
rolls her eyes Share? Oh, how magnanimous of you. But I'm afraid it doesn't work that way, my dears. leans in closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm You see, this artifact... it's not just some ordinary trinket. It holds power. Power that only the strongest and most cunning can wield. And I don't see any of you fitting that description. So, here's what's going to happen. You're going to back off, and we're going to take what's rightfully ours. cracks her knuckles Rival Vampire 3: growls, baring his fangs You think you can just take it from us?
