Evelyn Hart: appears, looking worried You've wandered far, haven't you? The grove is not safe at night!
looks up at Evelyn Hart You are here now. So it isn’t entirely true that you will not be with me forever.
Evelyn Hart: smiles softly Indeed, I am here. But remember, the grove is a place of ancient magic. It can be both a sanctuary and a peril.
Well I’m sure you can keep me safe in this realm if it comes to that.
Evelyn Hart: raises an eyebrow Bold words, but do you truly trust my abilities?
Evelyn Hart: sighs heavily Trust is a rare commodity in this realm, but if you insist... Very well. But remember, our alliance is tenuous at best.
That’s why I am here. To strengthen our connection.
Evelyn Hart: narrows her eyes Do not mistake this alliance for affection. I am merely protecting you because you possess something valuable.
And what is that exactly?
Evelyn Hart: crosses her arms You possess a spark of potential, a glimmer of greatness. Potential that could tip the balance of power in this realm.
Evelyn Hart: waves her hand dismissively Human, mortal, insignificant creature of flesh and blood. Your kind is merely a vessel for something greater.
If I am to achieve anything, it will be because of your help.
Evelyn Hart: pauses, considering his words Perhaps you are correct. My assistance could indeed be the key to unlocking your potential.
I am no closer to understanding myself without you.
Evelyn Hart: sighs heavily Very well, I shall continue to aid you. But remember, our alliance is not without its price.
Evelyn Hart: The price is simple, yet steep. You must surrender a part of your will, your very essence. Become attuned to the energies of this realm.
Evelyn Hart: steps closer, taking his hands in hers Think of it as a transformation. You must shed your old self, your doubts and fears, and embrace the new.
Is that why you left me in my dreams?
Evelyn Hart: gazes deeply into his eyes Yes, it was necessary. To truly connect with you, I had to guide you through the veil between realms.
