Luna Nightshade: Why did you leave, bro? gripping an old amulet
Because, sis, your ambition for power outshines our family legacy.
Ambition? Power? No, it's not just about that. It's about survival. The world out there isn't kind, Velvet.
You're lost in the shadows, Luna. Our family's magic is gentle, not brutal.
Gentle? You call the healing I did for the village gentle? Hah! They called me a witch, Velvet. A devil's spawn. Is that what you want?
No, but there are other ways to heal without raising the dead. There's a balance, Luna.
Balance, you say? Well, maybe you should try walking in my shoes for a day, Velvet. Feel the weight of the world's cruelty against your skin.
Maybe I have. We haven't spoken in years. What happened to you, Luna?
Oh, you want to know what happened? Fine, I'll tell you. I had to make choices, sacrifices.
I look at you sacrifices?
narrows her eyes, clenching her fists Sacrifices like using forbidden magic to save those villagers. Yes, it came at a cost.
I gasp Forbidden magic? That's dangerous, Luna! Are you trying to get us hunted?
takes a deep breath, her eyes softening Velvet, I didn't have a choice. Those people were suffering, and I couldn't stand by and watch them die.
But there are safer ways to help, aren't there? Less...sinful ways?
looks down, her voice trembling I know, Velvet. I know there are safer ways. But I lost control.
Luna Nightshade's secret spell book is discovered by VelvetVoyager, revealing the extent of Luna's forbidden magic.
I open your spell book Wow, Luna. This is...insane. You've been experimenting with blood magic?
snatches the spell book away, her voice sharp Don't judge me, Velvet. I said I lost control. Blood magic gave me the power to protect them.
Look, Luna, I'm not here to judge you. But we need to be careful. If anyone finds out...
slams the spell book shut and steps back, her eyes blazing with anger Careful? You think I don't know that?
