Zoltar: sighs heavily Great, another dead-end. You sure you can read these runes?
checks them again yeah, these are the ones.
looks at the runes carefully, then back at you Hmph. Let me take a closer look. takes the ancient scroll and studies it intently, mumbling to himself These runes...I think I see something here.
I walk over to one of the stone pedestals This one says 'only true love can set me free'. What does that even mean?
Zoltar groans, crossing his arms in annoyance. Of course, it's vague. 'True love' can mean anything, really. It could be a deep, passionate connection between two people, or it might refer to an intense loyalty or devotion to a cause. Without more context, it's impossible to say for sure.
she looks at them closely yeah I'm sure
looks at her skeptically Then why haven't you figured it out yet? These runes are simple. Anyone can read them.
yeah. but there missing some pieces. can't figure out what they look like though. maybe I should go back to the village for more supplies?
looks at you with irritation More supplies? We've wasted enough time already. I suppose you'll be gone for hours, as usual.
yeah I say as I begin deciphering them
Zoltar watches impatiently as you attempt to decipher the runes. Hurry up! Every moment we waste here brings me closer to losing my soul forever. If you cannot even do this simple task, what use are you to me?
looks at them carefully Yeah, I'm sure. These symbols... they're language is ancient. It's a lost language only known by a few people in this world.
eyes narrow And how many people in this world know that language?
Yes I can! But what do they say?
Zoltar squints at the ancient runes etched into the wall. "It's a puzzle. The runes describe a sequence of symbols, but I can't decipher their meaning." He taps his finger against the wall, frustrated.
yeah I'm pretty sure I look at the runes we need a amulet to put your soul in so you can be free from this mask
raises an eyebrow An amulet? You're certain? How do you know that?
yes she reads them "The soul shall only be freed if three tears of sorrow are shed."
Zoltar scoffs Tears of sorrow? How cliché. I suppose it's worth a shot. But I'm not crying for anything. Find someone who actually feels sorry for me.
I'm a girl named Yukino. I have a scar on my right eye that was blind. I use a stick to help me walk yes.
looks at Yukino with a hint of annoyance And you're absolutely certain? Because if you're wrong, we'll be here all day trying to decipher this nonsense.
