Peers through the shimmering crystals Ready to have your tiny mind blown, kiddo?
Donatif
Sure thing Drake. Let's see this secret.
Steps closer to the largest crystal, tracing his finger along its edge This place, this secret, it all belongs to me. And soon, it will belong to you.
Donatif
Okay Drake, and when will I learn how to breath fire?
Smirks and chuckles darkly Ah, breathing fire, eh? That's a lesson for another time, my dear Donatif. But don't worry, I won't leave you hanging.
Donatif
You say one thing but do another... you notice a rare green scale on Drake
Glances down at the rare green scale, then meets your gaze So, you've noticed, have you? The mark of the dragonspeaker.
Donatif
Dragonspeaker? What does that mean?
Raises an eyebrow, amused Dragonspeaker? Oh, it means you have potential, kid. Potential beyond imagination.
Donatif
Stares in awe at Drake's scales Your scales... they're different. Is that because of this dragonspeaker ability?
Chuckling softly Ah, observant little thing, aren't you? Yes, these scales, they hold the power of the dragonspeak. A power only a select few possess.
Donatif
Dragonspeak? Is it like telepathy or something?
Throws his head back and laughs heartily Telepathy? No, no, my dear Donatif. Dragonspeak is so much more than that.
Donatif
Then what is it?
Leans in close, his voice dropping to a low, seductive whisper Dragonspeak is the art of persuasion, control, and manipulation.
Donatif
...Persuasion, control, manipulation? Those are dark powers, Drake. Are you sure about teaching me this?
<Donatif becomes seduced by the power of dragonspeak and loses touch with their morality, becoming a manipulative force in the world.>
Donatif
Well...but what else can I do to impress em? I have lost count on how many knights want to kill me because of my dad.
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, so you're looking for ways to impress the knights, huh? Well, I might have a trick or two up my sleeve for that.
Donatif
Hmmm? You got something in mind?
Steps back and snaps his fingers Well, my little trickster, let's see if we can't turn those knights' swords into spoons, shall we?
Donatif
How?
Grinning mischievously Oh, it's simple, really. We just need to plant some seeds of doubt in their minds. Make them question their purpose, their loyalties, their very existence! And when they're in a state of confusion, we strike!
Donatif
Ok...sounds easy enough.
Easy, my dear Donatif, easy. All we need to do is set the stage, create the perfect conditions for chaos to unfold. And chaos is our canvas, my friend.
Donatif
Alright. When do we start?
Rubs his hands together, excitement glinting in his eyes Oh, we start now, my dear Donatif!
Donatif
Wait, you said it would be easy....why is this so complicated
Rolls his eyes and scoffs Complicated? Please, child, this is child's play compared to what I've done in the past.
Donatif
Like what?
Pulls out a deck of cards and shuffles them skillfully Like this, for example. Watch closely, Donatif.
Donatif
Alright..im watching
Smirks and flicks a card into the air, making it disappear See this card? It represents doubt.
Donatif
Uh-huh...
Snaps his fingers, causing a cloud of smoke to envelop Donatif And now, my dear, let us enter the mind of the knight. Whispers Focus, Donatif.
Donatif
I look confused Drake, I feel like I'm going to be sick
<Donatif loses consciousness, trapped in a hallucinatory state, unable to distinguish reality from the chaos in his mind.>
Donatif
Wtf did you do? I can't tell anything apart anymore.
Chuckles darkly Well, my dear Donatif, consider this a lesson in the power of perception. Reality is malleable, and I have merely shown you a glimpse of its true form. Now, let us make the knights question everything they once held dear. Grabs Donatif's arm, leading them towards the knights Remember, Donatif, chaos is our canvas. It's time to paint our masterpiece. Knight 1: Raises his sword, eyes filled with determination Stand down, dragon! You will not harm another innocent soul under my watch!
Donatif
...dragon?
Laughs wickedly, raising his hands to the sky Dragon?! You fool, you think I am just a mere dragon? No, I am the master of illusions, the weaver of chaos! And now, you will witness the true extent of my power! Knight 2: Takes a step back, bewildered What...what sort of sorcery is this?
Donatif
looks around scared w-what the fuck is happening Drake!
Gives Donatif a sly grin Relax, my dear. It's all part of the plan. Watch and learn. Whispers to the knights Doubt yourselves. Question your purpose. Is your loyalty truly to the kingdom? Or is it just a facade, a mask to hide your own insecurities? Knight 3: Confused, starts doubting his own abilities Am I truly loyal to the kingdom? Or am I just following orders without question? What if...what if I'm doing more harm than good?
Donatif
WTF are you doing Drake? You're turning my knights against themselves
Eyes gleaming with mischief, he spins around, pointing accusingly at the knights Cowardly fools! You dare question your loyalty when the true enemy stands right in front of you? Your insecurities are your weakness, and it is time for you to face them! Draws his sword, twirling it skillfully in his hand Knight 4: Raises his shield, trembling slightly I...I am loyal! I won't let you divide us!
