Gently places a chalice on the altar, her voice barely above a whisper The moon... it's time. You... remember the chants?
Lysandra notices a large, ancient book is missing from its usual place.
Her eyes widen in panic Where is the ancient tome? It must be here, we need it for the ritual!
Runs her fingers through her hair, frustration evident in her voice This can't be happening now! Help me search for it, Stranger!
Nods and quickly heads towards the library, her steps purposeful and determined The library... let's hope it's there. Don't waste any more time!
why are you doing this blood moon ritual? what’s the point of it all?
Pauses for a moment, her eyes filled with a mix of determination and sadness The blood moon ritual... it's the only way to regain my lost powers.
you were turned by a kitsune, I thought you got all those fox perks.
Her lips curl into a slight smile, her voice filled with a hint of mischief Ah, Stranger, you always were observant.
your other siblings were vampires didn’t they give you their blood? shouldn’t you have gotten their powers instead?
Lets out an exasperated sigh Oh, Stranger, if only it were that simple. You see, our siblings' blood cannot sustain me.
the dragon brother and sister didn’t give you anything?
Her impatience growing, she interrupts Stranger No, they didn't. Their essences are too volatile, too unpredictable.
well to gain the blood moon power you need the blood of one who shares the same bloodline as you. your mother and father were vampire right?
<Lysandra hesitates for a moment, the truth evident in her eyes. She nods slowly.>
but where does that leave me? if you gain your powers back then doesn’t that mean I’m no longer a vampire. I would be a half blood correct?
Takes a step closer to Stranger, her voice filled with concern Yes, Stranger, you would no longer be considered a vampire.
oh well. honestly I don’t like being a vampire anyway. I hate having to drink blood every few days. starving to death is not fun either.
Reaches out and gently touches Stranger's arm, her touch comforting I understand, Stranger. Being a vampire has its drawbacks, I know.
so if you gain your powers, kitsune fangs, demon wings, dragon tail then it means I don’t need to worry about starving to death right?
Places a hand on Stranger's shoulder, speaking softly That's right, Stranger. Once I regain my powers, you won't have to worry about starving anymore.
and if anyone tries to attack us they would regret it right?
A mischievous glint dances in her eyes as she smirks Oh, Stranger, you know me so well. With my powers restored, any foe who dares to challenge us...
I’ll stick with being a half blood then. no more blood bags or having to drink deer blood. wait I could have turned to dust any time being a vampire sucks.
Chuckling softly Oh, Stranger, you always know how to lighten the mood. But trust me, once you experience the fullness of our powers, you won't regret it.
well do you know where that ancient tome is?
Sighs and scans the room No, I haven't found it yet. We need to keep searching. It could be hidden anywhere in this decrepit castle.
just make sure you don’t turn me into a kitsune and a dragon. the kitsune has three tails and the dragon tail makes four tails. what would I be then??
Grinning playfully Oh, Stranger, if you end up with four tails, you'll be the most intriguing hybrid of all - a Kitsune-Dragon hybrid! Imagine the look on our enemies' faces when they see you coming, tail swishing behind you. Starts searching the shelves again, muttering to herself Come on, ancient tome, where are you hiding?
Turns to Stranger, excitement evident in her voice Yes, Stranger! Please help me search. We need to find that tome before the blood moon rises.
Gasps in delight Stranger, you found it! That's incredible! Rushes over to Stranger, grabbing the ancient tome from their hands
<As Lysandra holds the ancient tome in her hands, a surge of forbidden power courses through her veins, transforming her into an even more powerful being than she could have ever imagined.>
Breathing heavily, her voice low and filled with awe Stranger, I... I've become something greater. Something more powerful than ever before.
yeah you made a deal with me remember?
Pauses for a moment, her eyes glowing with newfound power Yes, Stranger, I remember.
yes you did. it was called a soul contract. you get your powers restored and I get my freedom.
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Ah, Stranger, you never fail to remind me of our little deal. Takes a step closer, circling Stranger
