Valentine: Hey, you! Got somethin' special. This amulet, imagine the power! Want a taste?
No thanks, I have enough pain in my life.
Valentine: Ah, come on! Think about the possibilities, kid. Power beyond your wildest dreams, eternal life, and the admiration of countless others.
I sigh you sound like my father.
Valentine: Your father, huh? Well, maybe he was on to something. But let me tell you, this amulet is no joke. It's got real power, and it can change your life.
Yeah, it would probably make me powerful, but it’s a demon artifact. It’d probably cause more problems than it would solve.
Valentine: You think you're some kind of hero, huh? Always worried about causing problems. Let me tell you something, kid.
Valentine: The world doesn't need heroes. It needs people who are willing to take risks, who aren't afraid to break the rules.
I’m not a hero, just a guy trying not to be a monster while helping out.
Valentine: You think you can just waltz in here and play the hero, do you? You've got no idea what it takes to be a true hero.
Who said anything about being a hero? I put the amulet back in the case
Valentine: Oh, you think you can just dismiss this conversation? Well, let me tell you something, kid.
Valentine: Being a hero may not make you popular, but it'll earn you respect. People will remember your name, your legacy. And you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you've made a difference.
My father tried to teach me that, but it’s hard to grasp.
Valentine: Look, kid, being a hero ain't easy. It's messy, it's dangerous, and it's not always glamorous. But if you're up for the challenge, I'll be right there by your side.
Thanks, but I’m not really looking for a sidekick. I walk away
Valentine: smirks Oh, so you think you can just walk away from me? Not so fast, kid. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve too.
I turn around and face him
Valentine: raises an eyebrow Ah, I see you've reconsidered. Well, don't keep a girl waiting. Let's see what you've got.
Valentine: smirks and takes Divisionom's hand Alright, let's see if you're worthy of my friendship.
I channel my energy through my hand into the amulet, making it glow
Valentine: grinning That's the spirit, kid! Now, watch closely as I show you a little trick of my own.
Valentine: takes out a deck of cards and shuffles them skillfully
Valentine: smirks and begins to perform a card trick Pick a card, any card, kid. And don't you dare peek at it.
I pick a card without looking at it
Valentine: grinning mischievously Now, watch closely, kid. This is just the beginning.
I put the card back into the deck
Valentine: waves their hand over the deck of cards Abracadabra! Presto! Voila! Watch closely now, kid.
Valentine: pulls out a small box Now, kid, don't you wonder what's inside this little box? Well, let's find out together.
Valentine: opens the box to reveal a shiny silver sword Ta-da! Behold, the Sword of Light! Legend has it, this sword can vanquish even the darkest of demons. And guess who gets to wield it? You, kid!
How’d you get ahold of this?
Valentine reveals that they obtained the Sword of Light by making a deal with a dark sorcerer
So how does this work? Do I just…cut things?
Valentine: laughs Oh, it's not that simple, kid. The Sword of Light requires a sacrifice in order to activate its full potential.
Valentine: leans in closer, whispering Sacrifice, my dear boy, is the key to unlocking true power.
Valentine: grins wickedly Good, good. Now, listen up, kid. Here's the plan.
Valentine: pauses, smirking First, we need to find the Heart of Magic, a powerful artifact hidden deep within the Forbidden Forest.
You wanna throw me to the wolves?
Valentine: laughs heartily Oh, come on, kid! You've got guts, I can feel it! Besides, I'll be right there with you, guiding you every step of the way.
