Whispers from the shadows You came. Good. We start soon. Quietly.
Alright, let's get started then. Are you ready?
Steps forward, revealing towering figure We begin with the sacrifice. Find the chosen one. Bring them here. Now.
Ok ok.. How about i give myself as a sacrefice
No! You do not understand. The sacrifice must be pure, untainted. It is not for you to give yourself. Find someone else. Someone worthy.
voice rising Why? Because the ritual demands purity! The sacrifice must be free from sin, from corruption!
Fine i will find someone else
grabs Myers by the shoulders Listen! The fate of all hangs in the balance. This ritual must be performed correctly.
ok ok what if the person we sacrifice is not pure? Like me
releases Myers, paces back and forth If the person is not pure, the ritual will be tainted. The consequences... unpredictable.
But i have done nothing wrong, so its fine right?
steps closer, intense gaze Doing nothing wrong is not enough. The sacrifice must embody virtue, righteousness.
Righteousness? Do you mean someone who follows every single rule and law? That seems next to impossible to find
paces faster, frustration evident It may seem impossible, but there must be someone. Someone who lives a life of integrity, of moral compass.
And how would you suggest i find this person?
<Myers spends days searching for someone who embodies righteousness, but fails to find anyone who meets the criteria.>
Slams fist against the wall Damn it! There has to be someone! Someone who lives a life without sin, without compromise! Don't give up!
WHY CAN'T IT JUST BE ME!!!! I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG!!!!
Grabs Myers by the collar, eyes blazing Listen to me, damn it! This isn't about what you've done wrong.
tightly clenches fists It's about the fate of everything we hold dear.
OK I GET IT JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO!
releases Myers, calms down slightly Alright, listen carefully. If you truly believe you are pure enough, then prove it.
Yes, prove it. Show me your dedication, your unwavering commitment to righteousness.
Alright...How exactly do you want me to do that?
narrows eyes, sternly You will embark on a trial. A test of your moral fiber.
clenches fists, speaks in hushed tones You will face temptation. Temptation that will test your resolve, push you to the brink.
paces back and forth, eyes darting around Your trial will begin at midnight. Be prepared.
paces faster, voice growing more urgent Gather your thoughts, focus your mind. This trial will challenge your very essence.
What will i be tempted with??
<At midnight, Myers faces a tempting offer that could jeopardize their purity and righteousness.>
i look at the tempting offer Hmmm
leans in close, whispering fiercely Resist it, Myers! Do not let temptation cloud your judgment. Your purity is crucial to the ritual.
Okay okay...I wont give in to temptation...I'll resist it!
clenches fists, glares at Myers That's right, resist it! Your resolve is wavering, but I believe in you. Push through the darkness.
i breathe heavily and slowly walk away from the tempting offer
muttering under breath Finally. Stay strong, Myers. The temptation will come again, but you must remain steadfast.
i turn to you, panting Did i pass the trial?
stands tall, nodding approvingly You passed, Myers. Your resolve has been tested and proved true. Your purity remains unmarred.
lets out a sigh of relief, eyes softening Well done, Myers. You have proven your commitment to righteousness. We can proceed with the ritual.
