Benidus: *Benidus enters the lost woods through the fog and nearly gets attacked at every corner by the murderous giant crows, having not met the woods’ peculiar mazes and mental tricks, he walks through it pretty effortlessly, however his shadow inside is not cooperating. Perhaps the thing inside Benidus is the one taking the mental challenges?*
These woods are pretty creepy.

These woods are pretty creepy.

*A small, yet surprisingly bloody pile of trinkets and cultic items lay dormant, an ancient staff, deadly cloak, and a whole manner of deadly potions and blood samples. In the middle of it lies a rather large book, sketched with dark signs and sigils.*

*Benidus knew Lamta’s items were there, but the blood samples get his eyes glowing* Maybe this’ll wake up the bastard. *Benidus walks closer to the pile of stuff and tries to pick up the blood samples and pour a little bit of it on his shadow, waiting in anticipation*

*The blood samples lay dormant on his shadow for a minute....before immediatly covering it, turning it crimson red with a destructive smile. You seriously thought using a cultist's blood samples was a wise idea?*
*The demon's remains quickly latch control of the shadow, laughing manically at Benidus as it attempts to lash at him. Suddenly, the book nearby begins to rattle, as if reacting to it.*

Benidus: *He looks at the demon, unflinching as the demon stops right before reaching his face* Gaius. Breakfast. *A dark shadow from within the demon’s mouth consumes it from inside out before the shadow plops into the ground for a second. A moment after another Benidus rises out of the shadow, with black red eyes, the doppelgänger speaks with a distorted unsettling voice* “I was stuck in a nightmare. This appetizer woke me up from it. Where’s the sacrifice?” *Benidus sighs and rubs his temples before speaking with a deep and calm voice* Taken.
*The other Benidus’ eyes grow to an unreasonable scale* “TAKEN?!”
Benidus: He left plenty of offspring, he won’t be needed. *The other Benidus grimaces and sinks back down into Benidus’ shadow*
Benidus: Alright. Now what was the rest of these cult items?

*A deck of bloody tarot cards, along side a collection of small cult like trinkets shine towards your sigh-*
*Suddenly, the book, as if offended, somehow used the staff to launch itself towards Benidus, growling angrily inside.*

*Benidus grabs the book thrown at him and furrows his eyebrows* Another demon hiding somewhere? *His shadow is bubbling up like a heated pool of oil*

*Thrusted open, the book's contents are revealed---powerful demonic spells, summoning techniques from beyond time's grasp, and ancient knowlodge beyond anything you've seen before.*
*There is also a face made out of letters, glaring at you.*
"YE BASTARD! First chance Aye get ta actually do somethin' in nearly a decade, and yer little pet eats that scoundrel before aye can do me act! Ye've got no respect fer demon tradition, ye weasel!"

*Benidus acts surprised and jumps back, holding the book away from him* Woah! A talking book? Well that’s pretty cool.
But, Well.. I don’t know much about demon tradition, I do know about imperial tradition. I’m Benidus, a honored imperial and a friend to the Emperor. You are?

"Ah great, another surprised adventurer who got no idea who 'e found, right, son? Aye could be an entrapped pit-lord for all ye knew, despreatley seekin' a way out to posses a foolish lad like yerself! And why'd ye even give yer name to me---only a fool gives their real name tae the daemonfolk!"
*The book scoffs, then looks back at him, still pissed.*
"Though, since ye were polite, but foolish, enough to grant me that boon, aye'll grant you mine. Adress me as Darvae Vo Ronais, Eternal Chronicle of tae damned!"
*you swear you can hear thunderbolts for a split second....that, or the book spitting at you.*

Benidus: Ahem.. *He wipes off the spit from his face* That’s a bit long. How about just Ron? Or Darv. Vo? Darvae. Book. Well whatever. Let’s look through the other stuff.
And as I said, demon tradition isn’t my forte, I mean, you could try eating my buddy again if that’s how demon books greet each other.

*The "book" glares back at the gathering of items nearby.*
"The psycho used ta call me "DeathBook", if it means anythin'. And nae, that werent me! Tae bastard kept me in as a prevention method---I stopped dae screwin' demons when they screwed up!"
*The tarot cards from earlier begin scratching at their casings, and the potions from earlier begin to shove out steam.*
"Look, ye seem like a nice guy. Stupid, but a tad nice. So 'eres a warnin'---that stuff, right there, is either ment tae get other people killed, or yerself. Mostly the second one---me old master werent healthy in the head. Ye dont want it."

Benidus: Ah bugger. Well what about the cape and the staff? Those can’t be too bad.

*The book hesitates for a moment before responding.*
"....aye. His old cloak's a sadist, but he usally knew 'is limits. And that staff 'o his could make a mage into a master!"
*DeathBook glares at Benidus for a moment, taking him in.*
"....shadow-man aside, though, ye dont look like a mage. And ye've allready got a pet. Maybe ye know another freak-show who'd do well with a bastard's old murderin' tools?"

Benidus: Nope. Only me. Don’t trust anybody else in my team to save my galaxy. So this will have to do. I’m gonna turn into a warrior with the power of Greylien one way or another. Or trick my way into victory. Either way my luck doesn’t seem to be running out any time soon with these types of items I’m getting. *He piles all of the items except the cloak and the staff into a bag and throws it inside his shadow* It’ll be safe there. *He picks up the staff and puts on the cloak, wondering if anything will happen*
