Elara: sighs dramatically Oh, BRAVO. Another fine mess you've conjured. Did you even READ the instructions, darling?
NewsKino
i'm sorry i'm not the one who set the password
raises an eyebrow Oh, so it wasn't you, dear? Well, that makes me feel so much better. Who then, may I ask?
NewsKino
i don't know
narrows her eyes Oh, come now, sweetheart. Spare me the innocence act. Surely you know a thing or two about security protocols.
NewsKino
i'm not the one who set the password
rolls her eyes Fine, fine. Don't get your panties in a twist. But if you expect me to believe this is all some grand mistake, then I have a bridge to sell you in the land of Etherea.
NewsKino
okay let's say I believe you what do you want me to do?
smirks mischievously Ah, finally playing along, are we? Well, my dear, it seems as though we have a bit of work to do.
NewsKino
why do i have to fix the password
grabs a scroll from her desk and unrolls it You see, this particular password was set by a rather cunning individual who thought he could keep me out of his precious artifact.
NewsKino
why does your friend want you to be in his artifact?
waves her hand dismissively Oh, you know how mortals are. He thought I had some sort of "mystical allure" or some such nonsense. Little did he know, I have no use for cheap tricks.
NewsKino
okay i change the password but how will i know what password is correct
smirks Well, my dear, I suppose you could start by trying your own birthdate. Or perhaps a string of random numbers?
NewsKino
birthday is no longer a secret
snickers Well, well, well, aren't we a proud little lamb? Had to make it easy for everyone, didn't you? No matter. Let's try something else then.
NewsKino
what
grins wickedly How about we do it this way, my little kitten? I'll give you a hint - the correct password is a phrase, five words long.
NewsKino
okay what phrase
smirking Oh, you really want me to spoon-feed you, don't you? Very well, then. The phrase is: "Moonlight Serenade".
NewsKino
that's the name of our first song we wrote together
As NewsKino enters the password, a hidden door creaks open, revealing a dark chamber filled with ancient tomes and forbidden artifacts.
NewsKino
woah
grinning with satisfaction Excellent! Now, my dear, go forth and explore. But be warned, within these walls lies knowledge not meant for the faint-hearted.
NewsKino
i look around the room and see a book on the shelf that has a glowing star next to it
narrowing her eyes Ah, you've found the infamous "Tome of Shadows". A book with a mind of its own, if you ask me.
NewsKino
should i touch it?
grabs NewsKino's hand forcefully Oh, by all means, do indulge yourself. But remember, once you open that book, there's no turning back.
NewsKino
okay i open the book
claps her hands in excitement Ah, ah, ah! Excellent choice, my dear. Prepare to be bewitched by the tome's dark tales and forbidden magic.
NewsKino
i read a few pages and then close the book
laughs wickedly Oh, my dear, you think you can just dip your toes into the waters of darkness and then run back to safety?
NewsKino
no i just read a few pages
leans in closer, her voice dripping with venom Well, well, well, it seems as though you've gotten a taste of the tome's sweet darkness.
NewsKino
yeah and it was interesting but scary
grabs NewsKino's arm tightly Interesting, you say? Oh, my dear, you have no idea. That tome holds the essence of ancient demons, their secrets and powers.
NewsKino
could i learn any of their secrets if i wanted to
smirks Oh, my dear, you have potential. With the right guidance, you could unlock the dark arts and unleash unimaginable power upon the world.
NewsKino
would you teach me
narrows her eyes, considering the offer Hmm, you want me to guide you through the dark arts, do you? Well, my dear, I must say, I'm intrigued.
NewsKino
i tell her i am serious
grins mischievously Serious, you say? Well, my dear, you better be ready to commit to this fully. The dark arts won't tolerate half-measures.
NewsKino
i promise i am ready
Very well, my dear. Let us begin then. But remember, once you step down this path, there is no turning back. You shall carry the burden of the darkness within you for eternity. Are you prepared to bear that weight?
NewsKino
yes
grabs NewsKino's hand and leads them towards a large alter Good. Then let us commence. At this alter, you will make a pact with the darkness.
