The tranquil forest surrounding the Sage's hut was disrupted by an eerie presence. Black and green luminescent mists began to seep in, creeping from the forest's edges, enveloping the surroundings in an otherworldly glow. The mists swirled and thickened, casting an ominous shadow over the hut.
On the porch, the Sage, sensing the impending danger, rose from his seat, his eyes darting around, trying to discern the source of this disturbance. As the mists converged, a shadowy figure, cloaked in darkness, materialized before the hut. The very air around him seemed to pulsate with malevolence.
The figure, his voice dripping with condescension, remarked, "You've played your part well, old man. Jon Pottabear is now on the path we've set for him."
The Sage, his face contorted with a mix of fear and disgust, retorted, "I should never have listened to you. Now, release my daughter as you promised!"
A chilling laugh escaped the figure's lips. "Your daughter? Ah, she's been elevated. She now serves as a Lady of Dabalon."
The Sage's eyes widened in horror. "You son of a bitch, that wasn't our agreement!" In a fit of rage, he summoned his magical energies, directing them at the figure in a powerful blast.
But the figure was prepared. Drawing a sword that seemed to absorb all light around it, he effortlessly deflected the Sage's magical onslaught. With a swift motion, the figure advanced, overpowering the Sage with ease.
As the Sage lay defeated, the figure leaned in, whispering words that seemed to echo from another realm. Slowly, the light from the Sage's eyes receded, then began to shimmer, reflecting the same emanating darkness as the figure's sword. The transformation was swift and complete.
The Sage rose to his feet, his demeanor now cold and resolute. The figure, satisfied with the turn of events, remarked, "Much better. Now come, you will serve me in reclaiming the throne and saving Cannalot. Once and for all."
Side by side, the two figures retreated into the mists, leaving behind a world on the brink of change and a destiny yet to unfold.
Can not wait to see this all unfold!
