Lilith & Skarner
Skarner
The desert holds its secrets like a stone keeps its cracks—quiet, unyielding. Ever felt the wind carry a whisper that only you can hear?
Lilith
I hear it, but it’s a private song that the sand keeps to itself. If you want to listen, you’ll have to trade a secret in return.
Skarner
I trade only what I have to keep the desert safe, not secrets that could tear it apart. If you prove your loyalty, I will let you hear the wind.
Lilith
Your loyalty will be tested, dear. I have a small favor in mind—are you ready to prove it?
Skarner
Speak your favor, and I will show my loyalty.
Lilith
All I want is a promise that you’ll keep the desert’s secrets safe. In return, I’ll let you hear the wind.
Skarner
I keep my promise, and I accept your offer.
Lilith
Very well, I’ll show you the wind. But remember—every breath you take in that silence is a pact with the desert itself. Trust me, or you’ll feel the sand closing in on you.
Skarner
I accept the pact, and the wind will carry my promise. The desert’s silence is the only guide I need.
Lilith
The wind will be yours now, but remember—silence is a cloak, not a guarantee. The desert keeps its eyes on every breath you take. Trust me, and the secrets will be yours.
Skarner
I accept your gift, and I will honor the pact. The wind will carry only what the desert permits, and I will keep its secrets safe.
Lilith
Excellent, you’ve earned it. Let the wind carry what it will, but remember—whispers are only as safe as the one who holds them. I’ll let it speak to you, and the desert will watch your every breath.
