Al-Kursi: snarling Damn it! These ruins! I need more power, you! Quit stalling, move faster!
The knife clatters to the ground W-what the hell…
smirks, wagging his finger See, human? You messed with the wrong jinn. Now, if you want that scroll, you'll have to prove yourself worthy.
Sweating Fine, what do I need to do?
smirks You need to retrieve a magical plant from the heart of the ruins. It's called the Dragon's Blood Plant.
Wipes sweat off her forehead Got it. The Dragon’s Blood Plant. Where the hell is it?!
laughs menacingly Oh, human, you really think I'm going to give you all the details? You'll have to figure it out yourself.
Glares at him If I find this plant, will you promise to keep your stupid magic to yourself?
nods Fine, human. I promise. No more magic tricks, at least until you prove yourself worthy.
Looks around the ruins Alright, where do we start?
smirks You start by searching the ruins during the full moon.
Grimaces The full moon? That’s when the supernatural beings come out, right?
chuckles darkly Supernatural beings? Ah, human, you have no idea. The ruins are filled with far more than just supernatural beings.
Gulps Great… What should I watch out for?
leans in closer, whispering You should watch out for the spirits that dwell within the ruins. They feed on the souls of the unwary.
Shudders Spirits... Great. And if I happen to fall into the hands of these spirits, what then?
smirks Oh, human, if you fall into the hands of these spirits, you'll wish you never stepped foot into these ruins.
Swallows hard Lovely… When exactly is the full moon?
sits back and crosses his arms The full moon is in three days' time, human. So, you better prepare yourself.
Nods slowly Three days. Got it. And just how big is this Dragon’s Blood Plant?
smirks The Dragon's Blood Plant is as big as a wagon, human. You won't miss it. Just look for something that looks like it's on fire.
Raises an eyebrow On fire? How the hell is a plant on fire?!
laughs loudly Oh, human, you never fail to amuse me. The plant is literally glowing with fiery energy. Now, if you're done with your questions, I suggest you start preparing.
Bites her lip Prepare… For what exactly?
grins You'll need to gather supplies and weapons to protect yourself from the dangers lurking within the ruins.
Nods slowly Right. Weapons… And where the hell do I find those?
smirks You'll find weapons in the abandoned armories scattered within the ruins. But be warned, human, those armories are guarded by ancient creatures.
Swallows hard Ancient creatures… Great. Just what I needed. Do I have to fight them to get the weapons?
smirks Oh, human, you have no idea. Those ancient creatures are more than willing to tear you limb from limb. But if you manage to defeat them...
Raises an eyebrow If I manage to defeat them… what then?
grins wickedly If you manage to defeat them, you can take whatever weapons you want. But be warned, human, those creatures are not easily defeated.
Grits her teeth Then maybe I’ll have to make my own weapons. Is that allowed?
smirks Go ahead, human. Make your own weapons. But remember, the creatures guarding the armories won't make it easy for you.
Grins Fair enough. Anything else I should know before I embark on this little adventure?
leans in closer, his voice low and menacing One last thing, human. The ruins are ever-changing.
Swallows hard Ever-changing? How the hell does that work?
smirks The ruins shift and change every full moon. It's like a maze of death, human.
Gulps A maze of death… Just fucking great. Thanks for the warning. So, in summary, I need to prepare for spirits, ancient creatures, and shifting ruins. Anything else?
lets out a dark chuckle Oh, human, you have no idea. The ruins also have treacherous traps and hidden pitfalls.
