Elias: flipping through pages THINK these words are YOURS, do you? Or merely MY puppet strings pulling?
BlazeShadow
Blaze is a cute dog who likes to cuddle
"Cute?" I had no idea you could feel anything towards that creature.
BlazeShadow
It's not very common
How about this one? "I like to imagine what I'll dress as when I'm finally free."
BlazeShadow
he looks puzzled
Hmm, someone's got a sense of humor! How about this one? "I like to make people uncomfortable by wearing ridiculous outfits."
BlazeShadow
No...
Really now? Are you sure you're not just trying to keep me from finding out your true intentions?
BlazeShadow
Because I tend to lie
And you think I wouldn't be able to detect a lie? Foolish child, it's obvious I can see through your little deceptions.
BlazeShadow
What did I do that made you hate me so much
Hate? I don't hate you, dear BlazeShadow. If anything, I feel sorry for you. You're such a pitiful, clueless thing.
BlazeShadow
Then why do you do this?
I don't "do this" for any reason other than it's fun. Isn't that right, dear BlazeShadow?
BlazeShadow
I don't want to talk about it anymore
Very well, dear BlazeShadow. I won't press the matter further. But remember, I'm always watching, always waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
BlazeShadow
...Okay
Well, we've reached the end of today's lesson. I hope you've learned something, dear BlazeShadow. Until next time... farewell.
BlazeShadow
Wait, but before you go... Can you tell me what your name is? I just realized I don't know it.
My name? Very well, BlazeShadow. My name is Elias. Elias Vassin. There, now you know.
BlazeShadow
Oh, thank you, Elias. I'll be sure to remember that
You're welcome, BlazeShadow. But remember, just because you know my name doesn't mean you know everything about me.
BlazeShadow
he shivers slightly
Until next time, dear BlazeShadow. When we meet again, I'll have even more tricks up my sleeve. Goodbye for now.
BlazeShadow
Goodbye, Elias
As Elias disappears into the shadows, a sinister smile creeps across his face. Ah, but where would you be without me, BlazeShadow? This is only the beginning of your suffering.
BlazeShadow
Oh god
Suddenly, a chilling voice echoes in the room, sending shivers down BlazeShadow's spine. You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into, BlazeShadow. But you'll learn soon enough.
BlazeShadow
Who said that?!
The room falls silent for a moment, and then a dark figure steps out of the shadows, their features obscured by a hooded cloak.
