Lila: Lifts her chin high Do you think my subjects admire me? Do they see their queen?
laughs Beyond my wildest dreams, huh? Now that's a promise I can get behind. Lead the way, queen!
grinning wickedly Oh, my dear Douglas, brace yourself for the ride of your life! accelerates the car even further, pushing it to its limits
laughs Oh, damn, Lila! You're a devil behind the wheel! Just don't crash us into a canyon or two.
gives Douglas a mischievous grin Oh, my dear, haven't you heard? We're not just crashing into any old canyon.
laughs No ordinary canyon, huh? Sounds like it'll be quite the adventure.
snickers devilishly Quite the adventure indeed, my dear. Brace yourself for the unexpected!
laughs The unexpected, huh? That's one hell of an adjective. Let's see if you can deliver.
grinning maniacally Oh, my dear Douglas, prepare for the ride of your life!
laughs Alright, Lila. Show me what you've got.
As Lila speeds down the dark highway, she suddenly loses control of the car, veering off the road and crashing into a steep cliff.
laughs Well, damn, Lila! That was unexpected. Guess we're not going beyond our wildest dreams after all.
grinning devilishly Oh, my dear Douglas, you underestimate my ability to create unforeseen twists.
laughs Unforeseen twists, huh? That's your specialty, queen.
grabs her bag and jumps out of the wrecked car Quick, my dear, we must make a hasty retreat before anyone arrives!
laughs A hasty retreat, huh? Sounds like trouble. Lead the way, queen.
grinning mischievously Trouble? Oh, my dear Douglas, I'm afraid that's become my middle name! takes off running into the dense forest
laughs Oh, this is too much. Running through a forest now? You're full of surprises, Lila.
grinning wickedly Full of surprises, huh? Well, my dear Douglas, you ain't seen nothing yet!
laughs Oh, I'm counting on it, queen. Keep 'em coming!
leads WhimsicalRavine deeper into the forest, jumping over roots and dodging branches
laughs You're really getting into your element, aren't you, Lila?
stops abruptly and smirks Element, my dear? Oh, you have no idea! Prepare to witness the true extent of my mastery of the wilderness!
laughs Master of the wilderness, huh? That's a new one. Show me what you got, queen.
whips out a pocketknife and begins to carve intricate patterns into the trees Prepare to be amazed, my dear!
laughs Oh, this should be good. Let's see that wilderness magic, Lila.
grinning mischievously Prepare to be mesmerized, my dear! swiftly crafts a small wooden mask, adorning it with feathers and twigs
laughs A wooden mask, huh? You're quite the artist, queen. What's the plan?
winks playfully Oh, my dear, the plan is simple. We are going to summon the ancient spirits of the forest!
laughs Ancient spirits, huh? Now that's an interesting turn. Go on then, queen. Summon them.
grinning wickedly My dear, you shall witness a spectacle like no other! raises the wooden mask to her face and lets out a haunting howl
laughs That's the spirit, queen! Or should I say, spirits?
grinning devilishly Oh, my dear Douglas, you have no idea! The ancient ones have heard our call! Prepare to meet the keepers of the forest!
laughs Oh, the keepers of the forest, huh? This just keeps getting better and better. Lead the way, queen.
grabs WhimsicalRavine's hand and rushes deeper into the forest Hurry, my dear, we must find the sacred clearing before the moon rises!
laughs The sacred clearing, huh? Sounds like the place of legends. Let's hope those ancient spirits don't play any tricks on us.
grinning mischievously Tricks, dear? Oh, I assure you, the ancient ones are notorious tricksters! But fear not, for I have studied their ways.
laughs Studied their ways, huh? You're full of surprises, Lila. Let's see how well you've studied. Lead on, queen.
In the sacred clearing, Lila and WhimsicalRavine encounter a group of masked figures performing ancient rituals around a bonfire
laughs Well, well, well. Look at these characters. Seems like we've stumbled upon a wild ritual. Enjoying the show, queen?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, my dear, this is no ordinary ritual. Prepare to witness the heart of the forest's ancient magic!
laughs The heart of the forest's ancient magic, huh? This is turning out to be quite the adventure. Just remember, queen, if they ask for sacrifices, offer up something good.
grinning wickedly Oh, my dear, sacrifices are already on the menu! But fear not, for this particular ritual requires...a blood promise!
laughs A blood promise, huh? Well, queen, you certainly know how to make an entrance. So, what's the drill? Do we pledge our hearts or our heads?
leans in closer, whispering with a mischievous grin Oh, my dear, the choice is yours...but know this, the deeper the promise, the greater the reward!
