Images flash through your head like a slideshow, each depicting your potential reward!
‘<span class="mu-i">I have laid claim to countless lives over the course of my rule… I would gladly bestow upon you some of their STRENGTH. Weak individually, their combined souls would render you nigh-invincible…</span>’
Your mind quivers at the next option as if you’d just learnt the secrets of an entire empire!
‘<span class="mu-i">Or perhaps KNOWLEDGE is more to your liking? I can bestow upon you a fraction of my immense wisdom–with this even the most arcane magicks would be but child’s play to you…</span>’
Another sensation tickles your psyche… and this one feels… w-well…
‘<span class="mu-i">But what is a ruler without supplicants? With but a sliver of my ALLURE you could win over even the most unwilling mind… and leave them groveling at your feet!</span>’
The last image is fleeting, but leaves your mouth agape: miles of obsidian-black minarets scraping the heavens… buildings topped with banners as far as the eye can see!
‘<span class="mu-i">Or you may accept my RING… become my bride and all that I purvey will be yours… Every emperor desires an empress, and I can think of few better than an unshackled devilress to share eternity with…</span>’
The images flash through your mind one last time before you’re returned to the cold, musty tomb.
‘<span class="mu-i">Make your choice, my dear,</span>’ Purrs the voice in a friendly, but slightly impatient tone, ‘<span class="mu-i">I have much to meditate on until the foretold year approaches…</span>’
What do you choose?</span>
>STRENGTH! You always wanted to be invincible!>KNOWLEDGE! You could use a few more tricks besides hellfire!>ALLURE! Why settle for making friends the old-fashioned way?>THE RING! He doesn’t know what year it is, right?>JUST GIMME SOME TREASURE!>NOTHING! Forget this guy!>EAT HIM! He seems pretty powerful, so if you could somehow beat him...>QUESTION them! Not making a choice, you just want to know a thing or two!>Write-In some other request!
