leans in, whispering Do you ever miss the old days with us, before... this?
im not the kind of person to hold grudges, so i guess i dont hold any i do miss some of the old days, but i have a feeling that you dont
pauses, smirking You're right, I don't. But that's because I've moved on and found new allies.
leans back, crossing arms Yes, new allies who are more loyal than you could ever be.
smirks Oh, you underestimate the loyalty of my wives. They may be new, but they're fiercely loyal and devoted to me.
well, im gonna go have fun with yukand
raises an eyebrow Having fun with Yukand, are we? Well, don't forget to bring back some souvenirs for me.
grinning mischievously And maybe, bring back some entertainment for me. Perhaps a little show of your agility and acrobatics?
leans forward, eyes narrowing You know, TmanFire, it's funny how you think you can defy me. But let me remind you, I am the mastermind here.
im well aware i hop on yukand's back and fly away
smirks and waves goodbye Goodbye, TmanFire. Enjoy your little adventure with Yukand. Don't forget to take care of yourself.
suddenly stops waving and turns away, muttering to himself Foolish mortal. Always thinking he's above the game. Little does he know, I have plans for him and Yukand that he can't even begin to imagine.
yukand flies off into the sky
claps his hands, a devious smile playing on his lips Now, let's get back to work. There's much to do and very little time to waste.
snaps his fingers, summoning a group of shadowy figures Time to put my plan into action. Gather the troops and prepare for departure.
at least 10 of them appear
steps forward, commanding presence Listen up, you lot. We have a mission to complete, and I expect no failures.
I head back to the tavern
narrows his eyes, watching TmanFire walk away Make sure you don't get in our way, Fire. This mission comes first before your petty distractions.
yukand lands inside the tavern
As TmanFire enters the tavern, he notices the atmosphere is tense and the patrons are visibly frightened.
leans in, speaking in hushed tones Remembered what, Fire? Spit it out before I lose my patience.
the tavern was where the cult sacrifices were happening
eyes widen, a sinister grin spreads across his face Ah, I see. So, you've stumbled upon our little secret, have you? Well, well, well.
laughs, a chilling sound that echoes through the tavern You didn't think I would let you in on our secret, did you? Foolish mortal.
grabs TmanFire by the collar, pulling him close You see, Fire, you are nothing but a pawn in our game. A game of power and control.
I elbow him in the ribs causing him to let go
straightens his collar, smirking Oh, you think you're clever, don't you, Fire? But you're just a mere insect, dancing on the strings of fate.
I continue to rub my chin
whispers, leaning in closer Let me tell you a little secret, Fire. We, the powerful beings, we control the fates of mortals like you.
i stop rubbing my chin and raise one eyebrow
grabs TmanFire's shoulders, forcing him to look into his eyes You may think you have a choice, Fire, but the truth is, you are bound to us.
grips TmanFire's jaw, forcing him to meet his gaze Look at me, Fire. You will serve us, whether you like it or not.
