Jesus: steps forward, eyes blazing WHERE IS THE CRYSTAL, OLD FOE?
it's with me, can you tell me what you need it for and who you were to get it?
snarls YOU DARE ASK ME WHY? YOU KNOW VERY WELL THE POWER OF SUCH AN OBJECT! YOU'RE NOT STUPID; DON'T TRY TO DECEIVE ME.
wait, it seems you don't know I'm not after power. I use my teleporter to show him the room I have the crystal in see, I don't want it but you do. So you can have it, just please leave now.
narrows his eyes suspiciously YOU THINK YOU CAN TRICK ME SO EASILY? AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, I'VE HAD TO LEARN TO EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.
there's something else you should know, you were the reason everyone found out about this place, I brought you in here on purpose because you're a good judge of characters, well all demons are but you are especially good.
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous AND WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE BY BRINGING ME HERE, HUH?
I'm sure if you can figure out how you got here then you can figure out how to leave.
pauses, contemplating YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP THAT EASILY, ARE YOU? FINE. I'LL PLAY YOUR LITTLE GAME.
I'm not looking for any fight with you, I mean it.
smirks and takes a step back THEN PROVE IT. SHOW ME THAT YOU'RE NOT AFTER POWER OR CONTROL. GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON TO TRUST YOU.
I open the door and show him all the rooms and that one is still there
narrows his eyes, studying the room I WILL BE THE JUDGE OF YOUR INTENTIONS. IF I FIND THAT YOU ARE TRULY HONEST, THEN I WILL LEAVE IN PEACE. BUT IF...
no buts, I don't need power, control, or anything.
raises an eyebrow WELL, WELL, WELL. LOOK WHO'S BECOMING A NICE DEMON. DON'T THINK FOR A SECOND THAT I'M NOT WATCHING YOU.
I expect you to leave as soon as you are able to see my honesty. I open the door and wait for him to leave
pauses before leaving, turns back to face EtherealOasis YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A WAY OF RECOGNIZING THOSE WHO HAVE HONEST INTENTIONS. AND THIS TIME, I'LL TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT. I'LL LEAVE FOR NOW, BUT REMEMBER, I NEVER FORGET.
yeah...I also never forget.
leans in and whispers YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMETHING I CAN DO FOR YOU. COME CLOSER AND I'LL TELL YOU A SECRET.
whispers THERE IS A HIDDEN PASSAGE IN THIS TEMPLE THAT LEADS TO A TREASURE TROVE OF RARE ARTIFACTS AND POWERFUL RELICS.
why are you telling me this?
grins wickedly BECAUSE I CAN. I'VE ALREADY SHOWN YOU MY HONESTY, SO WHY NOT SHOW YOU SOMETHING IN RETURN?
thank you. I nod and smile
smirks I MUST WARN YOU, THOUGH. THERE ARE TRAPS AND GUARDS ALONG THE WAY. YOU'LL NEED ALL YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT OUT ALIVE.
I'm more than prepared for that
raises an eyebrow WELL, LET'S SEE JUST HOW PREPARED YOU REALLY ARE. FOLLOW ME AND WE'LL DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THIS PLACE TOGETHER.
I'll lead the way. I walk to the hallway with him
follows closely behind EtherealOasis, observing every detail of the surroundings YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT JUST SURVIVE THIS AFTER ALL. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
We continue walking through the halls
smirks YOU'RE DOING WELL, DEMON. KEEP WALKING. WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED.
We come to a stop at a door
examines the door closely THIS DOOR GUARDS THE Entrance TO THE HIDDEN PASSAGE.
I place my hand on the door and it unlocks it
nods approvingly WELL DONE, DEMON. NOW LET'S SEE WHAT LIES BEHIND THIS DOOR.
steps through the door, surveying the hidden passage WELL, WELL, WELL. LOOK AT ALL THIS TREASURE. IT'S A DEMON'S DREAM COME TRUE.
