Valthor gestures to the scattered tomes with a smirk.
bolognasem looks up at him i need your help
leans back in a chair, crossing his arms over his chest Help, you say? What kind of help could a mere mortal like you possibly need from a powerful demon king like me?
laughs loudly, his voice echoing through the library Oh, a headache, you say? Well, lucky for you, I happen to be an expert in the art of pain relief.
stands up and walks over to a bookshelf filled with ancient scrolls Alright, let's see what we have here. starts rummaging through the scrolls
uh what exactly are you looking for
pulls out a scroll and unfurls it, scanning the contents Ah, here we go. This one mentions a powerful elixir that can alleviate even the most excruciating headaches.
nice will u get it for me?
smirks and winks Of course, I will. But remember, nothing comes for free. You're going to have to pay a price for this elixir.
grins mischievously Here's the thing, my dear. The elixir is hidden in a cave guarded by a fearsome three-headed dragon.
isn’t that from greek mythology?
nods Ah, you're sharp, aren't you? Indeed, Greek mythology has its roots in ancient tales, but I assure you, this dragon is as real as they come.
so how am i supposed to get rid of it?
grins devilishly Well, my dear, I'll give you a little tip. The dragon has a weakness for golden apples.
so what do you want in return?
leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous I want something precious, something that will make me powerful beyond my wildest dreams.
smirks and whispers I want the soul of your loved one, your significant other, your other half. Think about it, my dear.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, seems like you don't have much of a choice, do you? It's either give me their soul or forget about getting rid of your headache. cracks his knuckles
ok but please don’t kill them
grins wickedly Oh, don't worry, my dear. I won't kill them. But let's just say, they'll be living with a whole new perspective on life. They'll be under my control, doing my bidding. And guess what? You'll be too powerless to stop it.
ok then can u get the elixir now?
waves his hand dismissively Fine, fine. I'll get the elixir for you. But remember, you owe me.
grabs his cloak and heads towards the door Very well, let's go. But be warned, the cave is treacherous and filled with dangers beyond your imagination.
grabs bolognasem's arm and pulls them close Just stick close to me, follow my lead, and we'll make it out alive.
As Valthor and bolognasem enter the cave, they realize the path is blocked by a massive stone wall.
examines the wall closely, running his fingers along the rough surface Don't worry, my dear.
with a mischievous grin I always have a few tricks up my sleeve. Watch closely now.
takes out a small pouch from his cloak and pours a mysterious powder onto the wall This, my dear, is no ordinary powder. It's enchanted dust that weakens the strongest of barriers.
steps back and gestures grandly Now, watch as this wall crumbles before your very eyes!
laughs maniacally Another victory for the mighty Valthor! Now, shall we enter the cave and retrieve the elixir?
smirks and strides confidently into the cave, bolognasem following closely behind Stay close, my dear.
whispers to bolognasem Keep your eyes peeled and stay alert. The cave is filled with traps and enchantments.
