glances around nervously "Shh... I found old letters, horrifying truths. We must act, Markus!"
Oh! Oh no! What truth!? Tell me more!
leans closer, voice barely above a whisper "It’s the people, Markus. They're not what they seem. Their faces...
her eyes dart from side to side, as if she fears being overheard "Their faces, Markus... they're not human. Something...
Their faces aren’t human? What does that mean?
grabs Markus' arm, urgency in her voice "They're not human, Markus! They're masks! Hideous, twisted masks concealing their true monstrous visages!
Monstrous visages? But how is that possible?
clutches Markus' arm tighter, panic in her eyes "I don't know, Markus! But we have to be careful. They're watching us, listening.
Alright. So we need to get out of here before they catch us.
looks around nervously, then pulls out a small vial from her pocket "Take this, Markus. It's a potion that will allow us to blend in with the crowd.
grabs Markus' face, her eyes burning with determination "You have to trust me, Markus! We have no other choice. Take the potion and let it take effect.
pauses for a moment, observing Markus as the potion takes effect "Good... good. Now, follow my lead and stay close.

<As they blend into the crowd, Story Book leads Awecory deeper into the heart of the shadowy parlor, where they uncover a dark secret that could change their lives forever.>
nervously looks around "We're going to the heart of the parlor, Markus. There's something... something terrible happening here."
What’s happening? And who are these people anyway?
whispers urgently "These people, Markus... they're being controlled. Their minds, their bodies... all manipulated by a dark force.
What?! Who’s controlling them!
clasps her hands together tightly, panic evident in her voice "I don't know, Markus! But we need to find out. We have to stop them before it's too late!
How do we stop them? Do you know anything about this?
grabs Markus' arm and leads him towards a hidden door "I've heard whispers, Markus. Whispers of ancient rituals and forbidden powers.
Ancient rituals and forbidden powers? This sounds insane! But what do you think they’re doing with these people?
whispers urgently "I think they're using them as sacrifices, Markus. Offering them up to their dark masters in exchange for power.
Sacrifices? That’s ridiculous!
grips Markus' arm tighter, her eyes filled with determination "I know it sounds crazy, Markus, but I've seen things...heard things.
…Alright, I’ll trust you for now. But what are we going to do?
nervously glancing around "We need to find a way to expose them, Markus.
opens the hidden door, revealing a secret chamber filled with ominous symbols and artifacts "Be careful, Markus.
