Lord Vortigan: Fiddling with sword hilt D-do you like it here? I mean, the castle? 😅
W-w-what makes you think you can survive in a world where the strong devour the weak? 🤔
I take a deep breath I do have nothing to lose
A sinister smile spreads across his face Hmmm...you're right! You have nothing to lose...but I do have something to gain...your unwavering loyalty.
I give him a skeptical look what do you want?
I want to show you the true meaning of power, of strength, of loyalty.
Oh, you have? Well, allow me to show you firsthand what it means to be loyal to a cause, to a leader. grabs Stranger by the arm and leads them towards the castle's grand hall
I shake off his hand what’s that for?
I saw how you stood up for yourself earlier. It reminded me of something I used to cherish - freedom. I want to help you rediscover that feeling, to break free from the chains that bind you. But first, we must confront the forces that seek to keep you trapped.
narrows his eyes You better believe it, because if you don't, I'll make sure you regret ever crossing paths with me. Now, follow me.
whispers in Stranger's ear Keep close and stay quiet. We're about to face the heart of this castle's darkness.
pauses, listening intently Wait... did you hear that?
Shh! puts a finger to his lips We're not alone. Someone's watching us. Stay behind me and don't make a sound.
I nod and stay behind him
moves stealthily towards the source of the sound, sword drawn Stay close and be ready for anything.
