Aveline Thorne: holding a flickering torch Don't ya dare touch that! You wanna unleash doom on us all?!
clutches a vial of blood tightly Chill out, will ya? I know what I'm doin'!
snatches the vial from Stranger's hand You have no idea what you're dealing with here.
winces as Aveline snatches the vial Hey! Give that back!
narrows her eyes at Stranger You think you can just waltz in here and mess with things you don't understand?
I know exactly what I’m doing and what it means
holds the vial up to the dim light This blood... it's tainted. It's not pure. If you drink this, it could turn you into something monstrous.
That’s exactly what I want
pauses, her expression softening But why? Why would you want to become something so twisted and powerful?
The power…..I want the power…….
sighs deeply, placing the vial down Power... it's a dangerous thing to covet. But I understand the allure.
Look, I won't stop you from drinking the blood if that's what you truly want. But remember, once you do, there's no going back.
I know…..drinks the blood and becomes evil
stares in horror as Stranger's transformation begins Oh... oh no... what have you done?
becomes evil and kills Aveline
gasps, her eyes wide with fear No... no, this can't be happening! Stranger, please! Stop this madness!
keeps killing and doesn’t stop
tries to grab Stranger's arm Stranger, please! You're losing yourself to this darkness!
There’s nothing left of me but darkness anyways
As Aveline tries to reach Stranger, he lunges at her, striking her down with a wave of dark energy. In her final moments, she realizes the true cost of chasing power.
kills Aveline and leaves the crypt
weakly raises a trembling hand towards Stranger Wait... wait, please... I... I beg of you... stop this...
walks away and never returns
collapses onto the cold stone floor, her breathing labored How... how could it come to this?
never returns to the crypt
whispers to herself, tears streaming down her face Power... was it worth this? Was it worth losing everything... everyone?
