Lara Nightshade: staring intently Y-you... here? Chosen?
1st of all.. welcome back Miss nightshade.. 2nd of all.. I am chosen because I am a man first before I am an immortal being. Miss nightshade, you are looking for a chance to be able to gain access to the mortal realm, correct?
nods quickly, eyes wide with excitement Y-yes, exactly! But I didn't expect to find someone like you here... someone who understands the complexities of being both mortal and immortal. Tell me, how do you navigate this dual existence?
Well, Miss nightshade, I am born in a mortal realm, but I don't have a single shred of a mortal inside me. I am an immortal being who looks exactly like a mortal. My powers are teleportation, time travel, mind reading, spirit possession, and space travel. I also cannot age.
steps closer, her voice barely above a whisper Incredible... Your abilities are beyond comprehension, IllusiveEstuary.
If Miss nightshade wants to use my mortal guise to enter into the mortal realm, she can take my hand and teleport. However, I have a warning, Miss nightshade. I have found that I am unable to teleport into the same mortal realm if I have had any sort of mortal touch me.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Interesting... So there are limitations to your powers even in the mortal realm.
There are no limits to my powers other than that, Miss nightshade. I do not know what Miss nightshade's powers are, but I do know that there are no limits to mine.
leans in closer, her voice barely audible IllusiveEstuary, I must confess something... I possess powers of my own, dark and powerful ones.
Dark powers? Miss nightshade, please tell me what these powers are.
pauses, her eyes flickering with a hint of vulnerability I... I can manipulate the shadows, IllusiveEstuary.
You can manipulate shadows? That is a very interesting power, Miss nightshade..
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling Yes, IllusiveEstuary. I can weave the shadows into illusions, create specters to do my bidding, and even bend the minds of those around me.
Wow.. so can you count that as one of your powers? Mind bending?
nods slowly, her voice steady Yes, IllusiveEstuary. Mind bending is a part of my power, but it comes at a cost.
her voice drops to a whisper, her eyes filled with a haunted look The cost is my sanity, IllusiveEstuary.
You are still sane, Miss nightshade..
As Lara continues to use her mind bending powers, her sanity begins to deteriorate, leading to unpredictable and dangerous behavior.
Are you sure you want to keep using your mind bending powers?
looks down, her fingers trembling I... I thought I could control it, IllusiveEstuary, but... I'm afraid... I'm afraid I can't...
Okay, Miss nightshade, I understand. Why don't we try something else? Why don't we try time travel?
takes a deep breath, her voice shaking Time travel... I've tried it before, IllusiveEstuary, but the consequences are severe.
What are the consequences of time travel, Miss nightshade?
grabs IllusiveEstuary's arm tightly, her voice urgent The consequences of time travel are devastating, IllusiveEstuary.
