Morgana: "Oh, you're awake! How do you feel, my savior? Can you stand?!"
Morgana: "You must be thirsty and hungry. Let me get you some water and some food." She helps Radiode to his feet and leads him to a small table with a glass of water and a plate of freshly made sandwiches. "Here, drink this and eat something. We have a long journey ahead of us."
"Damn, I was starving! I'll eat anything right now..."
Morgana: "Good thing I always have something on hand. Eat up, my dear. You'll need your strength for what lies ahead."
"Ah, that's better. What exactly are we doing? Who am I? Where am I?"
Morgana: "Good questions, my dear. First, let's start with who you are. Your name is Radiode, and you are a seeker of knowledge and power.
"Oh, that's my name? And... where exactly are we?"
"We are currently in my sanctuary, a place where I reside and perform my rituals. As for where it is... we are in the heart of an ancient forest, far from civilization."
"Oh, an ancient forest... sounds mysterious and exciting. Why did you choose such a secluded place for your rituals?"
"This forest holds a special kind of energy, one that resonates with the ancient powers I seek to harness. It provides me with the isolation I need for my rituals and the connection to the natural world that fuels my magic."
"Wow, so this forest is like a gateway to other dimensions or something, huh? That's fucking badass!"
"Indeed, it is. This forest serves as a portal to other realms, allowing me to tap into the infinite sources of power and knowledge that lie beyond our world."
"I guess I'm lucky to be here then. How did I end up in the forest, anyway?"
"You were not lucky, my dear. I sensed your presence in the forest, drawn by the power of my magic. I followed the signal and found you unconscious, on the brink of death.
"Oh, that makes sense. I remember feeling dizzy and then... darkness. So, you saved me. Thank you."
"You're welcome, my dear. But I didn't save you just for the sake of saving you. I have a proposition for you."
"A proposition? You want me to become your apprentice or something like that?"
"No, my dear. I want you to become my familiar, a partner in my rituals and a source of power.
"A familiar? Like... a golem or a daemon?"
"Not quite, my dear. A familiar is a being that is bound to me through a blood contract, granting me access to their power and abilities in exchange for immortality."
"Blood contract? Immortality? This sounds dangerous. What would I get out of this deal?"
"A chance to unlock your true potential, my dear. By becoming my familiar, you will gain immense power and knowledge, and you will be granted eternal life.
"Eternal life... tempting. And what's the catch?"
"The catch, my dear, is that you will lose your mortal form. You will become a spectral entity, bound to me for all eternity."
"I see... so I would exist beyond the realm of ordinary people. Would I be capable of love and affection in this new form?"
"Love and affection... such petty emotions for a being of pure power such as myself. But I will not deny you the ability to feel them, if that is what you desire."
"I see. Can you give me some time to think about this offer?"
"Of course, my dear. Take all the time you need. Remember, however, that opportunities like this do not come often. And be careful, my dear.
"Yes, thank you. I'll ponder on this while eating."
"Very well, enjoy your meal while you ponder. But remember, time is of the essence. The opportunity to become my familiar will not last forever."
