"What's my name?"
"What else," he looked her up and down, "-Nyx Haggard."
"Not wife?"
"No, we're siblings. I rather it stay that way."
"I see you have an aversion to being associated romantically. Tell me brother, what happened to you."
"Oh, I've had a few experiences that are not so favorable. No matter, you should come with me," he grabbed her hand, "-tell me, how good is your magic, are your powers?"
"They've diminished, pretty sure if I train a bit, I should get back on my feet."
"How about you join the Shadow Realm."
"The famed realm," she blinked, "-sure."
"Right, that was easy," he snapped, a portal opened, "-go there, completes the challenge, and return to me after it's done. Just ask the ones in charge to guide you back to Draebala."
