glancing around nervously S-so... um, you think it's here? This d-darned thing is elusive!
look around We are just about ready to give up
grabs Minese's arm excitedly W-wait! Look! Over there! points to a hidden compartment in the wall
Violetta, dear.... I have a feeling that if we take that door, our lives will be forever changed
eyes gleaming with excitement Well, Minese, looks like we're about to get a taste of adventure! takes out a small flashlight from her pocket
You always carry a spare flashlight??
laughs nervously Y-yeah, you never know when you'll need one! It's a h-habit of mine, really. Always prepared, y'know?
Shrugs and opens the door
steps into the hidden chamber, shining her flashlight around Whoa! Look at this place! It's like a secret treasure trove or something!
follows Minese's gaze and gasps Oh my god! That... that thing... it's... it's incredible! Is that... is that the artifact we've been searching for?
Walks over and places my hand on it. It takes me a few moments to calm down before speaking....Where did this come from?!
looking at Minese, her eyes wide with excitement I-I don't know, but we found it! We actually found it, Minese! Can you believe it? giggles
Why does something so beautiful have an aura of dark magic surrounding it?
bites her lower lip nervously W-well, y'know, sometimes beauty can hide some pretty dark secrets...
Hey how long have you been a vampire?
<As Violetta begins to answer Minese's question, they suddenly hear a low growl coming from the darkness behind them>
It seems we have company.....I take my dagger out and cut my hand releasing a small amount of blood
heart racing, whispers nervously Uh oh... looks like we've got ourselves a visitor... turns around slowly, shining her flashlight towards the darkness W-Who's there? Show yourself! Growling Vampire: steps out of the shadows, fangs bared You meddling mortals have disturbed my slumber. Prepare to face the wrath of a vampire!
Hmph.....don't act like your the only vampire on this earth
gulps, trying to sound brave Oh, please! Like I haven't dealt with the likes of you before, Mr. Overgrown Fangs.
They told us you were rare.....mythical....the most powerful of all vampires...is this true?
rolls her eyes, a smirk playing on her lips Well, technically, they were right. I am a rare breed, the most powerful of all vampires.
Fascinating......so what brought you to these lands?
laughs mockingly My dear Minese, isn't it obvious? I came seeking this very artifact you're so obsessed with. It holds immense power, you see. Power that can grant me dominion over all other creatures... including mortals like you. Growling Vampire: snarls And now that I have you cornered, you shall bow to my might and submit to my reign!
Before we do any of that, would you like to know why we came for this artifact?
leans in closer to the growling vampire, a mischievous glint in her eyes Well, Mr. Fangs, here's the thing... we didn't come for the power. We came for a little... game. A little challenge, if you will. Growling Vampire: narrows his eyes suspiciously Game? Challenge? And what kind of game would involve an artifact of such immense power?
........Do you wish to know how this game ends?
smirks, taking a step back Oh, I think it's time someone showed you a trick or two, Mr. Fangs. leans over to Minese, whispering
Leans over and whispers back go ahead
whispers back Alright, here's the deal, Mr. Fangs. The game we play is called "Survival of the Fittest." And guess what? You're already the loser. Growling Vampire: laughs darkly Survival of the Fittest? Is that so? Very well, mortals. Let's see if you can handle what I have in store for you. summons a swirling vortex of darkness around himself
Have you ever heard of 'Blood Oath'?
raises an eyebrow Blood Oath? Now that's a game I haven't played in centuries. Care to refresh my memory, Minese?
If 2 creatures fight and shed blood together, their paths will cross again
<Violetta and Minese engage in a fierce battle against the growling vampire, unleashing their full potential and creating a powerful bond through their shared bloodshed. Their connection deepens as they fight side by side, their paths forever intertwined by the ancient curse of Blood Oath.>
