Dante: smirking, whispers You know, love, the past... it's a funny, twisted thing.
mfibber
she's nervous, glancing around the room I-I know... but what do you mean by'revealing'?
stands up, walking slowly towards mfibber, leaning in close Well, my dear, it's time for the truth to come out.
mfibber
She blushes and looks down
grabs mfibber's chin, forcing her to look into his eyes Now, listen carefully, my love.
mfibber
Ok ok
smirking You see, my dear, we are bound by a curse, a curse that ties our fates together. It's a long and sordid tale, but I'll give you the abridged version.
mfibber
Shivering A curse? W-what do you mean by a curse?
pulls out an old, dusty journal from his pocket This, my dear, is the journal of my ancestors. It contains the secrets of our lineage, the curse that haunts us.
mfibber
Staring at the journal That's... that's your family's secret history?
nods Indeed, my love. It chronicles the rise and fall of my family, the dark deeds we've done, and the consequences that have befallen us.
mfibber
Glancing down at the journal, then back up at him And this curse... what does it do? What happens if I break it?
leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous Ah, my dear, breaking the curse won't be as simple as you think.
mfibber
Her eyes go wide, looking almost frightened What do you mean by that?
smirking Well, my dear, there are those who would do anything to keep the curse intact, to maintain the status quo. They won't take kindly to anyone who tries to meddle with the forces of fate.
mfibber
Swallowing hard F-forces of fate? Who are you talking about?
stands upright, his smirk widening Oh, my dear, you'll soon find out.
mfibber
She shivers slightly, gripping onto the edge of the couch I... I don't understand. Why would anyone want to keep the curse going? What's in it for them?
narrows his eyes Power, my dear. Control.
mfibber
She looks conflicted, her eyes darting around the room Power? Control? That's... that's what you want too, isn't it? To control everything.
As the truth unfolds, mfibber realizes that Dante's quest for power and control goes beyond just breaking the curse; he desires to become the ultimate ruler of his own destiny.
