The Dark Wanderer: Do you feel it? The power growing! raises hands, dark energy swirling
The power feels good. This must be how Xassin feels like.
smirks Ah, my old friend Xassin. How I miss those days of chaos and destruction.
raises an eyebrow Satisfying? You find pleasure in our path of destruction? Well, I suppose it is only natural for those who embrace the darkness to find joy in its destructive power. But remember, our power comes at a cost. Every act of destruction brings us closer to our inevitable downfall. We must be careful not to lose ourselves to the darkness, or we risk becoming the very evil we fight against.
Oh, don't worry about me. I know that I'm not really Xassin. It's more like I'm just living up to his legacy.
narrows his eyes Living up to his legacy, you say? Just be careful, my dear friend. Emulating greatness can be a dangerous game.
You mean because I'm copying Xassin?
Exactly! You see, Xassin was a powerful being, and his actions had significant consequences.
So are you saying that Xassin would be jealous of me?
laughs maniacally Jealous? Oh, my dear friend, Xassin is long gone. He does not possess the ability to feel jealousy.
But if Xassin was here, wouldn't he prefer me over him?
pauses, a sinister smile spreading across his face Prefer you over Xassin, you say? Well, my dear friend, Xassin was known for his arrogance and his belief in his own superiority.
And what exactly is wrong with that?
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous Arrogance and superiority can be dangerous traits, my dear friend.
What do you mean by that?
grabs TigerCascade's shoulders, squeezing tightly They can lead to greed, ambition, and ultimately, destruction.
And Xassin was greedy and ambitious?
releases TigerCascade's shoulders, stepping back Xassin's ambition knew no bounds, my dear friend.
So, you're saying that Xassin's desire to be the strongest hero led to his destruction?
smirks Ah, my dear friend, it was much more than that. Xassin's pursuit of power consumed him, driving him to make choices that had dire consequences.
leans in closer, voice dripping with suspense Like wielding the Phoenix ember, a powerful artifact that should have remained sealed.
Wait... Isn't the Phoenix ember the perfect form of Kaelathun?
smirks Ah, my dear friend, you are indeed wise.
But if Xassin was able to wield the Phoenix ember, doesn't that mean that he must be stronger than Kaelathun?
laughs menacingly Oh, my dear friend, you underestimate the complexity of power and corruption.
Then tell me, how did Xassin become corrupted?
leans back, a dark glint in his eyes Xassin's corruption began when he discovered the Phoenix ember.
But how did he corrupt it?
leans in closer, voice filled with an ominous tone My dear friend, it is said that the Phoenix ember holds the essence of Kaelathun, the Heart of Heaven.
