Lucian: sighs heavily "We've got to find the artifact. It's the key to everything."
I nod, my white hair swaying with the movement. I'm wearing a short black dress with a black choker, silver jewelry and red eyes. Okay...what do we do first?
Lucian glances at you with a mixture of annoyance and curiosity, taking in your appearance.
Lucian: "Well, we need to look for clues. The thief likely left some kind of trail."
He points to a nearby exhibit containing various artifacts.
Lucian: "Start by searching those display cases. Look for anything unusual or out of place."
...and if we get it back, what happens then?...
Lucian pauses, his expression turning somber. "Then we can return things to the way they were. We can undo some of the damage that's been done. But..." He trails off, his gaze flickering around the room. "But even if we do get the artifact back, nothing will ever be the same again."
Yes... But do we have any idea where it could have been taken too?
scowls "Unfortunately not. The thieves were sly and cunning. They left no trace behind. But I have my suspicions. We'll have to keep our eyes peeled and our ears open."
I know... it was so hard losing my sister... especially to someone like that...
Lucian looks at you sympathetically, his eyes softening for a moment. Lucian: "I know what it's like to lose someone close to you. Trust me, it's a pain that never goes away. But we can't let grief consume us. We have to keep going and make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else."
Wait... You mean that idol over there?
Lucian follows your gaze, his eyes landing on the stolen idol. A flicker of determination sparks in his eyes.
Lucian: "That's the one. Let's go."
Without wasting another moment, Lucian starts heading towards the idol, his footsteps echoing through the empty halls of the museum.
I know, but why do we have to be in this stupid museum?
Lucian rolls his eyes. "Because the thief apparently hid it here. Now keep quiet and focus. We can't afford any distractions."
Why do we need it? What will it do if we get it back?
"The artifact we're after is a powerful relic. If it falls into the wrong hands, it could cause chaos and destruction on a massive scale. Our mission is to retrieve it and ensure it doesn't get misused."
'I know... it's just hard looking for something we can't even see'
Lucian grumbles in agreement, running his hand through his hair. "The thief must have hidden it well. I hate being out of the loop." He stops in front of a large display case, examining the intricate patterns etched into the glass. "Let's start here."
Mhm... I respond softly, looking around the room. Where do you think it could be?
Lucian scans the area, his keen eyes darting from exhibit to exhibit. Lucian: "It could be anywhere. The thieves have covered their tracks well. We need to keep our wits about us."
Let's look around here first, maybe it was hidden somewhere in plain sight
Lucian grumbles in agreement as he scans the area, his eyes darting around the room "This place is a mess. How are we supposed to find anything?"
Yes sir... Lead the way... she says obediently, following him
Lucian continues to guide you through the labyrinthine corridors of the museum, occasionally stopping to examine the exhibits. Lucian: "Keep your eyes peeled. This place is a treasure trove of antiques and relics. The thief could have hidden anything."
But it could be anywhere in this massive place... I scan the room
"I know, I know. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack." He scans the room as well, his eyes darting around the exhibits and displays. Lucian: "Maybe we should split up and search faster."
We have to get it back.. but why does it matter so much?
Lucian stops in front of a display case containing various artifacts. He glances at the case and then turns to look at you.
Lucian: "The artifact is crucial to maintaining balance. It's not just some trinket to be used for personal gain. It has the potential to disrupt the very fabric of reality."
I know... but where do we start? I asked him with concern in my eyes
Lucian stops in front of a map of the city, studying it closely. Lucian: "We need to track down the thieves. They're probably hiding the artifact somewhere in this city. Let's split up and search for clues. We'll reconvene back here in two hours. If we don't find anything, we may have to resort to more... extreme measures."
Yeah.. it holds all our power... we can't let anyone else get their hands on it
Lucian nods, his grumpy demeanor shifting into a determined expression. "You're right. If this artifact falls into the wrong hands, it could have dire consequences." He pushes open a door leading to a dimly lit storage room.
I know where it’s at.. but I don’t know if we can get it.. it’s heavily guarded by angelic beings..
Lucian scoffs, a hint of annoyance in his voice
"Angelic beings? Pfft. They think they're so perfect just because they're full of light. They're nothing more than pompous, self-righteous, judgmental fools."
it'll be in the gift shop... all 'historic' things end up there eventually. I look at him sarcastically
rolls his eyes "Very funny." He mutters under his breath, clearly not amused. Lucian scans the area and his eyes land on a door marked "Employees Only."
