Marishka: adjusts her cloak Ready to dive into the dark, babe? Ritual ain't for the faint.
Vampirism has always been a part of my family legacy, so I'm more than ready.
smirks Well, well, well, look at you, all eager and ready to embrace the darkness. But before we dive in, let's make sure you know what you're getting yourself into, hunny. grabs a bottle of blood wine
raises an eyebrow Oh, honey, you're about to enter a world where the line between predator and prey blurs.
I know Marishka, but for us it won't be like that
leans in, whispering Sweetheart, in this world, nothing is as it seems. You may think you know the ins and outs, but trust me, there are more secrets here than you can handle. sips her blood wine dramatically
we will face them together, Marishka
laughs devilishly Oh, darling, you think facing those secrets is a walk in the park?
raises an eyebrow Smiling won't save you, sweetheart. You need to dig deep, confront your fears, and embrace the darkness within. grabs his hand
I start to grab her we must hurry, the moon has started to rise, Marishka
pulls away from his grasp, smirking Oh no, my love, we can't just rush into it. We need to prepare ourselves fully, body and soul.
you have the supplies, Marishka
winks Honey, I always come prepared. reaches into her cloak and pulls out a small vial
grinning mischievously Darling, this little vial contains a special concoction that will purify your blood, preparing you for the ritual.
As Marishka administers the concoction to Stranger, he experiences severe side effects including hallucinations and heightened sensitivity to light and sound.
we head deeper into the castle this castle is enormous, Marishka
smirks Enormous is an understatement, sweetheart. This castle has more twists and turns than a mountain road.
whispers Just hold on tight, babe. We're about to descend into the heart of the castle where the real fun begins. starts humming "The Monster Mash"
laughs Well, lucky for you, sweetheart, this place is practically a haunted mansion.
how did you manage to get all of this, Marishka?
smirks Darling, you'd be surprised what you can acquire when you're as charming and cunning as me.
stops humming and looks at Stranger with a mischievous glint in her eyes Oh, you won't believe it, babe.
grinning devilishly Well, my dear, I simply charmed the castle's previous owner into giving it to me.
