Opening 10
.
Lucius and Paimon arrive at a sub-area in Eastern Sumeru known as Gandharva Ville, which is located in the Avidya Forest.
Paimon: Woah... look at this scenery! Paimon's never been in a forest before!
Lucius: Same here, though let's try not to do something that may disrupt the wildlife here.
Paimon: Hey, you're the one with powers to actual ruin stuff! Paimon can't do anything with her small hands!
Lucius: Oh, speaking of powers... there's a Statue of the Seven just over there.
He points to a vertical column of rock, with the statue situated above it.
Paimon: Ooooh! That's right! You can get your Dendro powers! You'll become stronger than ever!
But before they head to the statue, something else catches their eye.
Paimon: Wait! See that on your left, Lucius? There's smoke.
Lucius: Huh...
Paimon: Maybe that's signs of a settlement! Let's go check it out first!
Lucius: (shrugs) Alright then.
.
Instead of a settlement, the two follow the smoke to a cave, where they see a green-haired woman in what seems to be an Akademiya uniform meditating with a censer in front of her.
Paimon: Huh... Paimon thought this cave would lead to a village or something, but uh, it looks like that's not the case. Wait, she couldn't possibly be living here, could she?
Lucius: Doesn't look like it... It looks like she's meditating so let's not bother her.
Paimon: Fair enough.
Paimon takes a whiff of the smell of the censer as she smiles.
Paimon: Mmm! What a lovely smell! This is definitely not your typical place to call home, but at least it smells nice! Hmm, maybe living here wouldn't be too bad after all...
Lucius takes a whiff of the censer.
*BADUMP*
Lucius: ...!
Lucius places a hand on his forehead and grimaces.
Lucius: ("It's... just a headache. It's not the Curse activating again.")
Paimon: Huh, what's the matter? You don't look too good.
Lucius: Something's not right... it's the smell!
Paimon: Wait what?! Is the smell making you feel sick? Strange, Paimon doesn't feel anything...
Lucius: Fuck, I've gotta get out of he-
Before he could take another step, his body shuts down completely as he passes out and flops to the floor.
Paimon: LUCIUS! This is no time for a nap! C'mon, wake up...
Paimon hovers close to his face and repeatedly taps his cheek, trying to wake him up.
Paimon: Come on, wake up! Please! SOMEONE HELP!

Lucius: N-Ngh... h-huh?
