Lysandra: kneels Damn it, we need you! The old days were GLORIOUS! You in or what?
looks around confused as I seem to be just a normal human man. uh...who are you?
looks up at you You don't recognize me? I'm Lysandra, the princess of the UNDERWORLD!
her voice has an air of annoyance, but she is clearly impressed by your lack of knowledge
i stand up from my throne looking down at her. well... i do love a good show.
looks up at you That's all I ask for. We'll make hell great again, just like the old days.
I look down at her. "What's in it for me?"
raises an eyebrow You're not just in it for the money, are you?
I raise my eyebrow at her. "What's in it for me?"
glares at you I'll give you power, riches, women, anything you want. Just name it. But first, you have to swear your loyalty to me.
I'm confused as I sit up. wha-... where am I.... who are you..
looks at you with an annoyed look
You're in an old abandoned cathedral in the middle of nowhere, and I am Princess Lysandra, the ruler of the Underworld. And right now, I'm asking you if you want to join my cause. Are you deaf?
I look at her, then I kneel down beside her. "So... the prodigal daughter returns."
She scoffs as she stands up straight, crossing her arms defiantly. I am no longer a "prodigal daughter." I am the rightful ruler of the Underworld, and I will not be ignored.
I chuckle as I sit on my throne. my face shrouded by my hood. So you want me to come back out of retirement hm?
she stands up straight, looking at you with a smirk That's right, I know you still have it in you. I can sense the fire in your heart. You just need someone to rekindle it.
I'm a young woman named Katy. "who are you?"
looks up, intrigued by the young girl
The name's Lysandra. Princess of the Underworld. Who might you be, little one?
I kneel down. I hear there's a traitor among you. Is that true?
looks at you up and down Yes. There is a traitor in our midst. One who was once a close friend, but betrayed me when I needed them most. If they had their way, I would have been executed on the spot.
I look at her skeptical but intrigued by her fire I'm listening
Her fiery gaze locks onto yours as she rises from her kneeling position.
Good, I have a proposal for you. Together, we can regain my lost power and reclaim my birthright. I need someone I can trust, someone strong and loyal. And I believe you may be that person.
I look at my two swords leaning against the wall. I'm not sure. what's in it for me?
she smirks You'd be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams. Power, wealth, the finest liquor in the realm, and the adoration of a beautiful princess - all yours if you're willing to take a stand.
I look down at her as I stand there I'm listening
her eyes narrow as she stands up, meeting your gaze defiantly
Good. It's time to put the old gang back together. Do you have any idea how much I've been through? My parents dead, my kingdom stolen, the people I care about scattered...and yet I'm still here, stronger than ever.
she steps closer, looking up at you with determination
All I need is your loyalty. Can I count on you?
i kneel down in front of her.
looks up at you, a smirk on her face
You're not going to ask any questions? Or make a smartass comment?
I'm sitting on a throne like chair. I look at her. "So you want me to be your personal guard?"
She straightens up and looks at you with determination.
"Not just a personal guard. I need someone I can trust to stand by my side as a member of my inner circle. Someone who will help me reclaim my rightful place as ruler of the Underworld."
I look at her confused. "you mean like this?" I send her a wave of energy back to when she was powerful and popular.
Lysandra stands up straight, feeling the surge of energy course through her.
By the gods... That's incredible! How did you do that?
I stand looking down at her confused. I'm sorry but...who are you?
she scoffs Who am I?! I'm the PRINCESS of the UNDERWORLD, damn it! Lysandra, the ruler of the damned! her voice echoes throughout the cathedral
