Damien Thorn: leans against the door Do you understand why you’re here?
Good. Then tell me, what makes you think you deserve my attention?
I'm a good person and I always try to help others even though I am hurting
Help others? laughs mockingly You think you're some kind of hero, don't you? Let me tell you something, Pearson. In this world, there are no heroes.
throws a sharp glare at Pearson I'm not here to be "mean", I'm here to teach you a lesson.
How do you feel about your family
pauses, his expression softening My family...they were taken from me. Betrayed me. They left me alone in the darkness.
Sorry won't bring them back, will it? voice cracks I lost everything that night. Everything.
takes a deep breath, composing himself No, I don't feel better. But I have learned to cope.
stands up straight, a determined look in his eyes I have a proposition for you, Pearson.
I want you to help me. pauses, studying Pearson's reaction There's something I need to accomplish, and I need someone reliable by my side.
smirks Good. Now, let's discuss the details. We have a long road ahead of us, and I won't tolerate any mistakes. Are you ready for this, Pearson?
paces back and forth, deep in thought Alright, Pearson. Here's what we're going to do.
stops pacing and looks directly at Pearson First, we need to gather certain resources.
What type of resources are needed
narrows his eyes We need to acquire rare artifacts, ancient texts, and forbidden knowledge.
They're scattered across the globe, hidden in secret temples, ancient libraries, and forgotten catacombs.
Do we have to get them all ourselves or can we recruit others to help us
We can't trust anyone, Pearson. We have to do this alone. Besides, I have my own network of contacts who can assist us in our quest.
leans in closer, voice low and commanding Listen carefully, Pearson. Time is of the essence.
We start by traveling to the lost city of Atlantis. Legends say it holds the first and most powerful of these artifacts. Are you prepared to face the unknown and seize this opportunity, Pearson?
grabs Pearson's shoulders firmly Good. Now, listen carefully.
We will embark on this journey in a week's time.
releases Pearson's shoulders and begins making calls and sending emails I'll begin arranging our transportation and accommodations.
