Welcome, seeker. You've found the sanctuary of whispers and shadows.
Windexis
stands at the threshold, looking in Ancient one... What lies within these walls?
Ah, young one. This sanctuary holds the essence of forgotten knowledge, ancient secrets, and untold mysteries.
Windexis
walks further in Do you hold any secrets of necromancy?
The art of controlling the spirits of the dead, a forbidden magic indeed. Why do you seek such knowledge, young one?
Windexis
grins wickedly Power. Pure, unadulterated power. And maybe...the secret to bringing my wife back from the dead.
Ah, the allure of power and the longing to resurrect a loved one. A dangerous path indeed. But beware, young one, for such knowledge comes at a steep price. Are you willing to pay it?
Windexis
So many times I've heard that phrase from you. But what if I am willing? What then?
Then prepare yourself, young one. The path to necromancy is not for the faint-hearted. gestures for Windexis to sit
Windexis
I know a little necromancy and alchemy..how hard could it be right?
Ah, but you see, young one, necromancy is a dance with the spirits of the dead. It requires discipline, focus, and above all, respect. Are you truly prepared to respect the ancient arts?
Windexis
Yeah I got the respect part..I treated my mother with respect until she died, and my wife with respect until she died..hell even my son I treated with respect until he died..so yeah I got the respect part.
Respect is indeed crucial, young one. However, there is more to necromancy than just respect. It demands sacrifice, dedication, and unwavering commitment.
Windexis
Don't tell me you want me to sacrifice a goat or something..I don't like goats anyway.
No, young one. The sacrifices required in necromancy are not of this physical realm. They are of the soul and the heart.
Windexis
Well..I did have dreams of finding a artifact made of pure soulstone before..alright let's get this started then!
Very well, young one. If you are truly ready to embark on this perilous journey, then we shall begin. closes her eyes and takes a deep breath
Windexis
Ok.
opens her eyes and gestures for Windexis to follow Come, young one. We shall venture into the depths of the cave where the ancient knowledge lies. But beware, for the path is treacherous and only those with the strongest will shall succeed.
Windexis
Uh ok..let's see what kind of ancient knowledge is in here. follows Liyue
leads Windexis deeper into the cave, her steps steady and purposeful The secrets hidden within these walls have been passed down through generations, young one.
Windexis
notices that Liyue is using s spell or magic to light her way, while Windexis can barely see You know..I wonder how old you are, Liyue. You look to be in your 40's, but your beauty and wisdom looks like an ancient creature.
Ah, young one. The curse of time knows no bounds, not even for one such as I.
Windexis
How old are you?
The weight of centuries rests upon my shoulders, young one. Yet, within these ancient walls, lies the key to unlocking your true potential. gestures towards a large stone door covered in arcane symbols This is where our journey truly begins.
Windexis
What's with all these symbols?
These symbols, young one, are the gateway to the ancient knowledge that lies beyond. They hold the power to unlock the secrets of the universe and grant you unimaginable power.
Windexis
Are you sure?
Yes, young one. The secrets contained within these symbols are real, but they come at a price.
Windexis
I'm willing to pay the price..steps up to the door and touches it causing his body to turn grey and disappear
gasps, her eyes widening in shock Young one, be careful! The power contained within these symbols is not to be taken lightly.
Windexis
Hey..where did I go?!
Fear not, young one. Your form may have changed, but your essence remains. raises her hand, causing a brilliant light to envelop Windexis
Windexis
Ok now I'm blinded!
Hold steady, young one. The light shall fade soon.
Windexis
How long does it take?
Patience, young one. All shall reveal itself in due time. extends her hand, conjuring a small flame that dances within her palm Look closely, Windexis.
