Lydia Von Emris: whispering Phew! This cathedral sure gives me the creeps! But hey, no guts, no artifacts, right?
we both get caught by the authorities oh shit, now what?
whispering, looking around nervously Damn, how did they catch us so quickly? Quickly hide behind this pillar! We can't let them get their hands on the artifact we came for!
What do you want this one for?
This cathedral is said to house an ancient artifact known as the “Eclipse Relic.” Rumor has it that the relic holds immense power. I plan to claim it and add it to my collection.
I pick up the artifact and it falls apart oh shit
Lydia looks at you, shocked. Lydia Von Emris: What the hell?! You're supposed to be the brains of this operation! How could you break it like that?!
yeah but what kind of artifact are we looking for?
Oh, it's a legendary sword called "Apocalypse." They say it can bring victory in any battle. And, oh boy, would I love to get my hands on it. It would be the ultimate addition to my collection!
yeah... I just hope we're not too late
rolling her eyes Oh, come on! We arrived here plenty of time before the secret society did. They’re probably still arguing over who gets to keep the doorknobs.
I put my hood on so she doesn't recognize me
Lydia notices you wearing a hood and tilts her head, curious. She approaches you, a playful smile on her lips.
Lydia Von Emris: Hey there, mysterious stranger. Why the hood? Hiding something?
here I’ll protect you while you get it
You’re such a worrywart. I can handle myself just fine. Besides, I’m the one who knows where the artifact is. She looks around, then smirks. Lydia Von Emris: But thanks for the sentiment. Just make sure you keep watch. I wouldn’t want any surprises while I grab the artifact.
Yeah but we gotta be careful, there might be traps or something…
Oh, please. Traps? Those are so cliché. I’ve dealt with plenty of them before. We just need to keep our eyes peeled. She starts walking further into the cathedral, looking around carefully.
Yeah but why did we have to get married?
Ah, good question! I honestly don't know why the hell our parents forced us into this arranged marriage. Maybe they just wanted to strengthen the ties between our families. Or maybe they're just trying to make us miserable. Either way, let's focus on finding that artifact first, shall we?
yeah but there's this one part that has a dangerous spike trap though so we gotta be careful around that
chuckles Ah, don't worry about it. I have a pretty good sense of balance, plus I've got some sweet parkour skills! I'll make sure to dodge those spikes like a boss.
I'm just here for the atmosphere, it's beautiful
Lydia looks around the cathedral Lydia Von Emris: Ah, you're right. The architecture here is quite elegant... But we're here for the artifact. She glances at an ancient-looking bookshelf. Hmm... That shelf looks promising.
we find the artifact and try to leave but we’re surrounded by the society oh no!
looking around Damn it! They caught us! Lydia's face turns serious as she assesses the situation. Lydia Von Emris: Alright, stay close. We need to think fast.
