Kyr - Day 85 Nyssa/Akasha game

[This is a very high-pitched noise made as Kong realizes he is in the room with a dragon]

[Your offering was REJECTED.]

[Words appear on the ground before you in glowing green. “Your sacrifice(s) are to die, by quill or by ink. Make your final peace, then meet your fate.”]

[Of course, if you wait for longer than fifteen minutes, the matter will be taken out of your hands. The oddly metallic pattern of roses on the wall, with their unnervingly long thorns, peel off the paper and lash out — they snake themselves around the doomed sacrifice and squeeze, ever so gently and ever so slowly. It’s a long death by exsanguination for you poor lost soul, as the thorns stab deep, like so many tiny knives.

Not to worry, though! They will only hurt the sacrifice, even if the other partner tries to attack them or pull them off. The thorns won’t so much as cut the skin.]

...Oh. I guess it wasn't enough...

I wonder if they ever even meant it to begin with...

It's fine. It'll be fine. I'll come right back, right?

...

You will. I know you will. You're so much braver than I am, so don't be scared now.

Hehe...I don't really think I'm brave at all. I'm scared. I'm really scared! But I'll try to be brave for you.

Bravery means standing up to your fears. You can't be brave unless you're scared to begin with. It probably doesn't mean much coming from a coward like me, but I think that must be the difference between a hero and a regular person.
