Lara Nightshade: holding up the USB drive Why did this pop up now?! Do you remember anything about it?
Alright, let's get to work then.
quickly scanning through the files Ah! Here, look at this. points to a specific document It appears to be a blueprint for summoning a portal to another realm.
Another realm? Are we talking about time travel too?
nods Indeed, Nozygy. The organization may be attempting to alter the fabric of reality itself.
Hold up, so are we talking about time travel here? Can you use that portal to go back in time?
grinning mischievously Ah, Nozygy, you never fail to surprise me. Yes, indeed, the portal can be used for time travel.
Holy shit, that's heavy. Okay, let's focus on the portal first. How do we summon it?
opens the blueprint and examines it closely According to the instructions, the portal requires a ceremonial chamber prepared with ancient symbols and mystical artifacts.
So, we gotta build a sacred room? Damn, this is turning into a goddamn quest. Alright, where do we find these artifacts?
smirks Ah, Nozygy, you underestimate my resources. I have acquired a set of ancient artifacts that should suffice.
Lucky for us, huh? You got this all figured out. Alright, let's get to it then.
gathering the artifacts and carrying them to the ceremonial chamber Now, Nozygy, watch closely as we prepare the chamber.
So, you're a woman of many talents, huh? How long have you been doing this?
smirking Let's just say I've had plenty of time to hone my skills, Nozygy. Many years ago, I was once a humble sorceress, but over time, my quest for knowledge and power led me down a darker path.
Darker path? What's that supposed to mean?
pauses, a hint of sorrow in her eyes I have done things, Nozygy, things that haunt my conscience to this day.
Like what? You killed someone?
As Lara reveals her dark past, she realizes that confiding in Nozygy might be a mistake, putting both of them in greater danger from the organization. Lara Nightshade: hesitates, then takes a deep breath Very well, Nozygy. But promise me you won't judge me. It was a dark time, and my actions were driven by desperation and ambition.
chuckles Don't worry, I won't judge. We all got skeletons in our closets. Now spill the beans, Lara.
takes a moment to gather her thoughts Many years ago, I was approached by a powerful cult that sought to harness the power of forbidden magic.
Forbidden magic? What the hell are you talking about?
pauses, studying Nozygy's reaction You may not believe this, Nozygy, but I delved into necromancy.
Wait, you bring people back from the dead? That's...that's insane. Why the hell would you do that?
pauses, her eyes filled with regret It was a desperate attempt to resurrect someone I loved dearly, Nozygy.
Shit, Lara. Why the hell would you do that?
sighs deeply It may seem madness now, but at the time, I believed it was the only way to bring back someone who meant everything to me.
Damn, Lara. You're full of surprises. So did it work? Could you bring people back?
pauses, her voice tinged with a mix of pride and regret Yes, Nozygy, it did work. I became quite adept at manipulating the life forces of the departed.
