Love, bring the crimson candles closer. It's time to invoke the eternal night, together. Shit's about to get real.
I threw her to the ground You're powerless to me. I said as I began walking away, then I stopped and looked back at her So tell me, Scarlett Nightshade. How does it feel to be powerless to me, your creator?
grits her teeth, her voice filled with rage You may have defeated me this time, but mark my words, Stranger.
Goodnight pet. I said as I walked off into the night, leaving her there alone
screaming with blood-curdling intensity NOOOO!!! This isn't over, Stranger! I'll find a way to reclaim my power and my throne!
I would be waiting for her
paces back and forth, muttering to herself Alright, think, Scarlett, think! How can I regain my strength and defeat that bastard Stranger?
I would be watching her from the trees in the forest, waiting to see what she would do now
stops pacing, her eyes suddenly gleaming with determination I've got it!
Got what? I asked her as I stepped out of the tree line
Scarlett Nightshade discovers an ancient artifact hidden deep within a forgotten tomb, which holds immense power and could potentially overthrow Stranger's control over her.
What is that? I said as I watched her
smirking with a sinister glint in her eyes Why, my dear Stranger, that is the Heart of Darkness - an ancient artifact rumored to hold the essence of the first vampires.
I laughed You were able to retrieve it. It was said that no one has ever retrieved it. I said as I walked up to her Do you know what this means?
raises the Heart of Darkness high above her head, her voice dripping with confidence Yes, Stranger, I know exactly what this means.
That you're a bitch who will always be my pet. You'll never be strong enough to rule on your own. I said as I began walking again So tell me, Scarlett. How do you plan on using that thing?
follows Stranger, keeping pace effortlessly Oh, Stranger, you underestimate my power.
Well, tell me. I'm curious to know I said as I continued walking
smirks, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, Stranger, you really want to know, huh? Fine, I'll tell you.
Go on then I said as I sat down in a chair
leans in close, her voice low and conspiratorial The Heart of Darkness... it holds the key to unlocking my true potential, Stranger.
Go on I said as I sat in the chair, waiting for her to speak
grins wickedly, her eyes gleaming with ambition With the Heart of Darkness, I will become the most powerful vampire alive, Stranger.
Go on I said as I continued to wait for her to speak
claps her hands together excitedly Oh, Stranger, the possibilities are endless!
What are you talking about? I said as I listened intently
gestures wildly with her hands Why, Stranger, with the Heart of Darkness, I will conquer not only this city, but the entire world!
Scarlett Nightshade begins constructing an army of vampire minions, fueled by the power of the Heart of Darkness, to march across the globe and establish her dominion.
Very well. I said as I stood up and walked over to her Are you done yet?
grabs Stranger's arm, her eyes glowing with excitement Not quite yet, Stranger.
starts pacing again, her voice filled with determination But first, I need your help, Stranger.
And what is that? I asked her as I continued to listen
claps her hands together excitedly I need you to gather the strongest vampire warriors in the city, Stranger.
Why? I asked her as I raised an eyebrow
stops pacing and looks directly into Stranger's eyes Because, Stranger, we must train our forces, prepare for the inevitable battle ahead.
Battle? I asked as I continued to watch her
snaps her fingers, and a group of cloaked figures appears before them
