The air in the jail cell was thick with the musty scent of confinement as I stood before Le Paradox, determined to unravel the mysteries tied to Conor and Celeste. The blood moon cast an eerie glow, accentuating the shadows that danced on the cell walls.
Le Paradox reclined on his cot, and looked up as I entered. His eyes, normally filled with arrogance, widened in surprise as they met mine. "Well, well, what do we have here? Another Cooper descendant, I presume?"
I ignored his taunts and got straight to the point. "I need information about Conor and Celeste. What's their connection to the Moondark Clan?"
Le Paradox chuckled, a sinister glint in his eyes. "Ah, the mysteries of the past. My dear, what's in it for me to divulge such precious information?"
I sighed, knowing negotiations with Le Paradox were always a delicate dance. "Answers, Le Paradox. That's what you get. Straightforward and to the point."
He studied me with a calculating gaze before a smirk played on his lips. "Well, well, you're not just any Cooper. You bear a striking resemblance to someone from my past."
I arched an eyebrow, urging him to continue.
"Celeste," he mused, his tone filled with a mix of nostalgia and something darker. "You look almost identical to her when she was your age."
My heart skipped a beat at the mention of Celeste. Le Paradox's revelation opened a floodgate of questions. "Celeste? Who is she? What's her connection to Conor and the Moondark Clan?"
Le Paradox leaned in, a sly grin etched on his face. "Celeste was a brilliant thief, just like you. But she had a penchant for the dramatic. Always scheming, always one step ahead. And Conor, well, he's le pére of Sly my dear. A legacy of thieving excellence."
The puzzle pieces started to fall into place. Celeste, Conor, and their connection to the Moondark Clan—questions answered, but more mysteries unveiled.
"I need to know everything, Le Paradox," I insisted, my gaze unwavering.
He chuckled, relishing the intrigue of the moment. "Everything comes at a price, mon cherie. What will you offer in return for the secrets of the Moondark Clan?"
