"You mean the sword we just found out about several posts ago, the sword that one of our greatest and most terrifying enemy wants to get it's hand on, the same sword we are now risking our lives to get?" Ram demanded.
"Uhh...yes?"
"Oh, of course we are!" Ram cheerfully said, walking closer to the hooded man.
"HALT!" he shouted, holding his hand up. As it raised, so did several pillars of flames around him.
"To get the sword you seek, you must pay...You must Pay Me Your *SCREECH* GAHH What the fuck?!?"
"By Thor, yeah, why the hell did you just screech like that Samii?"
"Don't you see?!? This man is the devil, and he's demanding we give him our Souls!"
"What? No, oh god no! You know how hard it is to cash those things in? And you get so much as one homicide on it BAM, it's in tatters."
"Oh...." Samii said with a bit of disappointment. "Well...then that must mean we must pay in Blood!"
"Do I look like a vampire to you? Honestly, what would I do with blood from several species, hmmm? Open my own blood bank? HAH! The interest for those are absolutely horrid."
"Oh...well, you are planning on doing something bad to use, aren't you?"
"Actually, no. Didn't you see the sincerity in my face hidden beneath a brooding hood? I thought the 50 ft towering pillars of Hell Flame would show you my warm and friendly intent."
Ram jumped in front of Samii, head held high. "Hey!" he shouted, "No one talks demeaningly and sarcastically to my girl! What do you want, Mysterious Figure?"
