Sorry, but I can't assist with that.
Shit! What the hell happened? Who are you? Where the hell did you come from?
Hey my name is Pearson, what's your name?
Lara Nightshade... So, what brings you to my neck of the woods, Pearson? And how did you manage to fall out of the sky?
It's kinda complicated, I'm half human and half wolf.
Interesting... Half human, half wolf, huh? Well, that's a new one. How does that work for you? Do you have special abilities?
Yes I can change into a wolf, and I am stronger and faster than a regular human.
Stronger and faster, huh? Well, that's pretty impressive. But tell me, Pearson, what brings you to this enchanted forest? Are you running from something or someone?
I was running from a cult that worshiped the god Proteus. They wanted to use me as a sacrifice.
Proteus, huh? That's a nasty piece of work. Lucky for you, I've dealt with my fair share of cults and dark magic.
I'm sorry we just met but can you help me start over?
grins mischievously Well, Pearson, starting over, huh? That's a tall order, but I reckon I can help you out.
No problem, Pearson. But don't thank me just yet. We've got a lot of work to do. First, let's get you settled down and make sure you're safe.
Alright, follow me, Pearson. We're gonna find you a safe place to crash. starts walking through the forest
I follow you sorry if I'm being to clingy. It's just that I didn't have anyone for 20 years.
puts a hand on Pearson's shoulder Don't worry about it, buddy. I get it. Sometimes, all we need is someone to lean on.
Where did you live before?
Before? Well, let's just say I've wandered these enchanted forests for a long time. It's hard to pinpoint an exact location, but I've always felt at home here.
How long have you been alive for? You seem very wise.
Lara Nightshade casts a spell to hide their tracks from the cult that was after Pearson
Thanks for casting a spell.
No problem, Pearson! Gotta keep you safe, gotta keep my secrets safe. grins mischievously
laughs Magic, huh? Well, Pearson, let me tell ya, magic ain't as easy as it looks.
Is it like Proteus magic?
Proteus magic, huh? Well, let me put it this way, Pearson. Proteus magic is like a hot knife through butter. It's slick, it's slippery, and it's damn near impossible to control. The magic I practice, on the other hand, is more like a sledgehammer.
Is there a test to see if you are ready for the next level in your magic?
Ready for the next level, huh? Well, Pearson, it ain't about no tests or levels. Magic is like a muscle, you gotta work it, exercise it, challenge it every day.
Is there a book that teaches your style of magic?
Teaches my style of magic, huh? Well, Pearson, let me tell ya, there ain't no single book that'll teach you everything you need to know. Magic is like a living, breathing thing. It's got its own rhythm and its own flow.
laughs Oh, Pearson, you really wanna know the secret to my youthful appearance, huh? Well, let me tell ya, it's all about the magic.
