Umbra: whispering "Th-th-the key lies in d-d-darkness. Wh-what s-s-sees without eyes?"
"Umbra what are you talking about"
smirks Ah, my dear Lootplan, sometimes I forget that not everyone speaks in riddles and half-truths like me. Allow me to enlighten you.
nods Hmmm. Y-yes, y-you could say th-that. O-often I m-m-mutter this to myself when I'm s-studying ancient l-lore.
"Aaahhh.. the answer is 'thoughts'."
"Y-you're right, m-m-master. Y-y-your thoughts are like l-lions, they p-p-protect you from afar."
hushed tone "Th-the truth unfolds with th-th-the eyes of th-th-the mind. Look beyond what you see, for th-th-the answer lies within..."
nah it's probably something like "find your inner joy" or "follow your heart" or something dumb like that
huffs and rolls its eyes You think you're so clever, don't you? Always so quick to dismiss the unknown. But one day, when you're faced with true danger,
And what does that have to do with Shadows?
pauses, then speaks in a low voice Because Shadows... see everything. They are the eyes in the darkness, always watching, always vigilant.
Sounds like a riddle. Do you have the answer?
grinning mischievously Oh ho ho, my dear Lootplan, I've got this one down pat!
umbra I think your acting weird
stops abruptly and stares at Lootplan with piercing eyes Weirder than usual? You're starting to notice my... peculiarities?
That would be the night blind elf seeing with the heart.
nods and continues leading you through the darkness
pauses, then whispers again "F-formless... shapeless... but f-forces exist..."
leans closer, whispering with a sinister tone "The key... it's in the shadows. Look beyond what's visible, my friend."
nods and sighs heavily Yes, I'm talking about "they". And it's not just about "they". It's about the dark forces that lurk in every corner of the Twilight Realm. The ones that threaten to consume us all.
pauses, then tries again "Um... Th-the answer is... um... you know what? Nevermind.
Gotta question, what do you call a goat that’s sitting on it’s own back?
nods solemnly "You could say that. But you're thinking too much about human beings. What I meant was...an entity, or being, that sees with its mind, not its eyes."
grinning mischievously Oh, come on now, you can do better than that! Think about it, what sees without eyes?
"Umbra what are you talking about I can't understand you"
nervously fidgets, cheeks turning rosy "I-I mean... the key... it's... um... somewhere... we need to look harder."
leans closer, whispering fiercely into your ear Aaahh, you are correct! I am indeed the one who sees without eyes! But there is more to this riddle, my dear.
sighs heavily You're getting into the spirit of things, aren't you? I'll give you another riddle. Give me your thoughts...
