☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- I could have simply feigned helplessness to make you try to touch me or stab me with a sword – believe me, there are people like that – to drain your soul or do something else. Given the circumstances of our meeting, that's something you could have expected. - She sighed almost inaudibly. - You're just like the object of affection of my earthly boss – you have absolutely no sense of self-preservation. How about this: as compensation for the wasted time, I'll answer one of your questions. You might not think so, but I know a lot.

—Earthly, you say... I should meet this "person" sometime. I can't believe there are people in the world who are more irresponsible than I am. - the knight chuckled. - As for the rest... so much has already been done to me. You... You could have just opened a random portal in the middle of the street, and I would definitely have looked into it. I came here with good intentions, not to stab with a sword, but the opposite. If this is a trap, then I'm just unlucky. In my current situation, I can't afford to carefully choose traps and tricks. Every day I feel that the chance of encountering a random priest or necromancer is increasing, and I can't do anything about it. And about your helplessness... I once left a girl in trouble. Never again, I'd rather lose my soul.

—A question... ... I had a very wise, all-knowing "friend." After him, I realized that the less you know, the better you sleep. - the black knight pondered. - ...Of course, it would be interesting to clarify something about Akonia, but I'm afraid that if you do know, finding out the ending of this story in advance will ruin the fun for everyone involved. Therefore... I came here with one goal, and I'll ask about it. Since you wanted to help with my main problem, I assume you know how to remove the undead curse from me? Maybe there's a holy spring nearby or a genie lamp buried, or something else along those lines. Or, if that's your power, maybe there's a way to earn it, or maybe someone else possesses it, since our deal didn't work out. In short, tell me how to cleanse my soul, kind stranger.
