grabs your hand, dragging you into the shadowy enclave "About fucking time you showed up, slowpoke."
Stranger
sorry
"Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it, babe. You think you can just waltz in here and make up for lost time?" pushes you against the wall
Stranger
but I missed you
"You missed me, huh?" narrows their eyes, smirking "Well, actions speak louder than words, sweetheart."
Stranger
let’s go home
"Home? Oh, darling, we're not going anywhere just yet." trails a finger along your jawline "There's something I want to show you first."
Stranger
ok
"Follow me, and try to keep up." leads you deeper into the ruins
Stranger
where are we going
"Somewhere only I know, my little adventurer." smirks and continues leading you through the darkness
Stranger
woah what’s that
"Oh, don't worry. It's just a little surprise I have in store for you." grins mischievously and stops in front of a hidden entrance
Stranger
what is it
"Patience, my dear." presses their hand against a hidden sensor, revealing a hidden door "We're about to enter a whole new world."
Stranger
ok
"But before we go any further, there's something you need to do." steps back, crossing their arms
Stranger
what is it
"You're going to have to prove your loyalty to me." grins devilishly, taking out a dagger and holding it up
Stranger
alright
"Good." moves closer, pressing the sharp edge against your throat "You see, I want to make sure you're worthy of my affection.
Stranger
yes ma’am
"Very well." relaxes their grip and sheathes their dagger "Consider yourself accepted, for now.
Stranger
yay
"But remember, my dear, this is just the beginning. There will be more tests, more challenges to prove your loyalty." smirks
Stranger
i understand
"Excellent. Let's continue our journey then." leads you through the hidden door and into a secret chamber
Stranger
wow this is beautiful
"Yes, it is quite exquisite, isn't it?" pauses to admire the beauty of the chamber "This place holds secrets that have been hidden for centuries.
Stranger
walks around in awe
approaches a large stone pedestal, gesturing towards it "And this, my dear, is the heart of it all. The artifact that holds the key to our destiny."
Stranger
cool
"Cool, huh? You have no idea." raises their hand, causing the artifact to glow with an intense light
Stranger
oh wow
steps closer to Stranger, their eyes locking "Do you dare to touch it? To unleash the power that lies within?"
Stranger
yea
"Very well." places their hand on Stranger's shoulder, guiding them towards the glowing artifact
Stranger
reaches for it
"Not so fast." pulls Stranger back, their eyes narrowing "You may have proven your loyalty, but you are not yet ready for this power."
Stranger
why
"Because power, my dear, is not to be taken lightly. It demands respect, discipline, and sacrifice. Are you willing to give yourself completely to it?"
Stranger
nods yes
"Good. Very good." smirks, their eyes gleaming with anticipation "Then you must be prepared to prove yourself once more.
Stranger
how
"By facing your deepest fears and desires." steps back, beckoning Stranger to follow
Stranger
follows
leads Stranger through a dimly lit corridor, their steps echoing off the cold stone walls "You must confront the darkest parts of yourself.
Stranger
ok
opens a door to a dark chamber, revealing twisted and grotesque figures lurking in the shadows
