Liora: whispering The ancient runes beckon us. Are you ready to bind our souls in this dark pact?
Citell
I see…
sighs heavily, disappointment evident in her voice ForestRhapsody, your ignorance is appalling.
Citell
What does that mean?
snaps her fingers, causing a surge of dark energy to crackle in the room It means, ForestRhapsody, that you are failing in your duties.
Citell
How am I failing?
glares at ForestRhapsody, anger simmering beneath her calm exterior You are failing because you are weak! Weak-willed and incompetent!
Citell
I try to keep my composure as I listen
Overcome with rage, Liora lashes out at ForestRhapsody, raining down a torrent of dark magic. The energy engulfs him, draining his strength and leaving him weakened and gasping for breath.
Citell
I try to catch my breath as I look up at her I apologize…I’ll do better.
smirks, satisfied with ForestRhapsody's weakened state Apologies won't suffice this time, ForestRhapsody. You must prove your worth.
Citell
I will do whatever it takes.
rises from her seat, her eyes glowing with a sinister light Then show me, ForestRhapsody. Show me your determination.
Citell
How?
grins wickedly ForestRhapsody, you will retrieve the Lost artifact from the Cursed Crypt.
Citell
What is this Lost artifact?
leans in close, whispering The Lost artifact is a relic imbued with immense power, hidden deep within the Cursed Crypt.
Citell
I’ve heard of it…I just don’t know where it is.
smirks, pulling out an old, creased map from her pocket
Citell
looks at the map curiously Where does this lead to?
points to a location on the map This, ForestRhapsody, is the entrance to the Cursed Crypt.
Citell
I’ve never heard of a Cursed Crypt near here…
smirks Of course, ForestRhapsody. The Cursed Crypt lies hidden, concealed by ancient spells and enchantments.
Citell
I look at the map again so that’s where the Lost artifact is…
smirks, placing a hand on ForestRhapsody's shoulder Yes, ForestRhapsody, the Lost artifact awaits your grasp within the depths of the Cursed Crypt.
Citell
I look at her Just need a moment to catch my breath before I go…
narrows her eyes, suspicion creeping into her gaze Before you leave, ForestRhapsody, remember that failure is not an option.
Citell
I stand up but still look at her I understand.
clasps her hands together, a chilling smile playing on her lips Excellent. But let me offer you a little assistance, ForestRhapsody.
