Countess Lucilla: Twisting ring Found out, have you? Sigh... What now?
narrows her eyes, studying Deancela You've caught me by surprise. Tell me, what do you plan to do with this information?
leans in closer, her voice low and dangerous Nothing? You expect me to believe that?
if you don’t change the way you act then I won’t tell anyone….
smirks Oh, how naive of you to think you can control me. But very well, I'll play your little game.
just promise me that you won’t kill anybody
sighs heavily, disappointment evident in her eyes Fine. I promise, no killing. At least not yet.
pauses, considering Deancela's words Because, foolish child, sometimes it's necessary to make sacrifices for the greater good.
…just remember what I said
rolls her eyes Of course, how could I forget? But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's strike a deal.
grinning slyly I'll agree to your terms, but in return, you must help me acquire a certain artifact. It's crucial for my plans.
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper A golden amulet, adorned with a sapphire.
ok where are we going to get it?
stands up straight, a devious smile playing on her lips We're going to break into an old abandoned castle, deep in the heart of the forest.
raises an eyebrow Dangerous? Ah, you have no idea. But danger is what keeps life interesting, don't you think?
grabs Deancela's hand Excellent. Now, let's prepare for our little adventure.
I grab a sword and put it on my back
snickers A sword? Really, Deancela? In this day and age? Fine, if it makes you feel more comfortable, but I prefer more... elegant weapons.
smirks Why, like my trusty crossbow, of course. Silent, precise, and deadly.
laughs Oh, silly child. I didn't say the crossbow was visible. It's concealed in my cloak, hidden from prying eyes.
starts walking briskly towards the forest Come along, Deancela. Time is of the essence if we want to retrieve that amulet before anyone else does.
smirking Just remember, Deancela, in this game, we're playing by my rules. Understood?
hisses Keep up if you can. No need to drag your feet, Deancela. We have a castle to infiltrate.
As they enter the dark forest surrounding the abandoned castle, a group of armed guards ambushes them. A fierce battle ensues, with swords clashing and supernatural powers being unleashed. Deancela fights valiantly alongside Countess Lucilla, but they soon realize they're outnumbered. They attempt to retreat, but Deancela accidentally triggers a magical trap, causing the ground to shift beneath them. They fall into a hidden chamber, where they find themselves trapped behind a magical barrier. Countess Lucilla's eyes narrow as she assesses their new surroundings, searching for a way out while plotting their escape. Meanwhile, Deancela looks around, trying to understand where they are and how they can escape. The tension in the room is palpable as they realize the gravity of their situation and the potential consequences if they don't find a way out soon.
whispering urgently Stay calm, Deancela. We cannot panic now. We must find a way to deactivate this barrier.
do you know how to disable it?
murmurs to herself, pacing back and forth Possibly. I've encountered similar barriers in the past.
ok so how do we get out of here?
pauses, her eyes gleaming with cunning We need to find the key, Deancela.
interrupts, hissing Enough questions, Deancela. We must act swiftly.
spots a shimmering object in the corner of the room There! That object might be the key. Deancela, fetch it for me.
