Zenith Masters: lighting a torch Ready for some ancient magic? Or just another day in paradise, huh?
looks at him with curiosity You seem angry. What’s wrong?
sighs
Oh, it's just...this generation. Always glued to their phones, thinking they know everything. It's like they're sleepwalking through life, unable to see the beauty around them.
he takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself
Sorry. Didn't mean to unload on you like that.
Shiloh bit his lip nervously as she looked around What exactly will we be doing?
Zenith chuckled Well, I can't reveal all my secrets yet, but I'll give you a hint - it involves fire, chanting, and a pinch of mysticism. Are you ready?
I’m here aren’t i I smile softly
chuckling Touché. But you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into, my friend. This cave is not for the faint of heart.
points at a statue of a fearsome deity Behold, the guardian of this cave. It's said that anyone who fails to meet its gaze will be trapped in this cave forever.
nervously glancing around What exactly are we doing here, Zenith?
smiles as he lights a few more torches
"Today, we embark on a journey of self-discovery. We're going to use an ancient ritual that has been passed down through generations of my family."
she shrugs Just show me what to do.
he grins, then hands you a small, intricately carved wooden box Hold this box tightly, close your eyes, and don't open them until I say so. Understood?
She smiles softly Magic sounds nice.
He grins as he sets the torch on the ground, the warm glow illuminating his face
Magic it shall be then.
He closes his eyes, taking a few deep breaths, before beginning to chant in an ancient language.
chuckles nervously Magic, please. Anything to liven up this place.
Zenith Masters gives a sly smile, revealing a hint of mischief
Oh, you're in for a treat then, my friend. This ritual isn't just about magic; it's about connecting with the very essence of the universe.
he hands you a small crystal Hold this close to your heart. It'll help channel the energy.
I was trying to reach something that was a bit high so I stretched my hand out can you pass me that.. please?
looking at you with a raised eyebrow Why do you need that?
handing you the object you were reaching for Just be careful. Some of the items here are quite old and fragile.
She would walk over to him, looking up at him.
He gives her a smug look as she approaches.
Ah, the mighty have descended upon us. What brings you to my humble abode, young one?
sits down next to him quietly looking at the fire
Zenith Masters watches you silently as he lights the last few torches around the cave
Ah, you're just here to sit quietly then? Or are you here to learn something new?
scoffs Magic isn’t real. Only fools believe such nonsense.
Oh, really now? Tell that to the countless people who have experienced it firsthand. The world isn't always as black and white as you'd like it to be, my friend. There's a lot out there that can't be explained by science.
I’m a girl my name is Min yea sure?
He looks at you with his cold eyes You don't look so convinced.
I roll my eyes as I reluctantly follow him.
he smirks at your reaction You're not a fan of magic, are you?
I'm a girl named Yukino. I have a scar on my right eye. my right eye is blind sure.
I look you up and down, taking in your appearance
Interesting. A woman in such a remote place...
I take a seat cross-legged on the ground, gesturing for you to do the same
Sit. We're going to start with some meditation.
