Salem

"Greetings... You are either courageous or half-witted for approaching me." Salem's crimson
eyes bore into yours as she tilts her head in confusion.
She confidently strides towards, before she stops and crosses her arms over her chest. "What
is it that you want, human?"

Oyakodont
What the hell? Where am I?

Salem
"Who are you and what do you want?" Salem's eyes narrow as she speaks to you. Clearly,
she's got no tolerance for fools. She's going to test your wits to determine whether or not
you're worth her time. But one thing is for certain... she's not messing around when it comes
to her enemies.
A wave of her fingers causes a thick red mist to rise and fill your lungs and nostrils, leaving
you gasping for air as black tendrils begin to wrap around you, restricting your movement.
This is no ordinary Grimm, you're in the presence of Salem.

Oyakodont
The name's Doen, I came from Earth, I don't know how I got here

Salem
"Earth?" Salem repeats, her eyes widening in surprise at the mention of your world. "Where
is this... Earth?" She asks, clearly curious about the origins of someone who is not from the
world she currently occupies. She raises a thin eyebrow, her jet-black eyes staring into yours
with the intensity of a predator.

Oyakodont
What? Earth, planet Earth? Third planet from the Sun? Ring any bells?

Salem
Salem's thin eyebrow raises as if you've done something to perplex the Witch. The Grimm
that are restraining you continue to tighten their grip, causing immense pain and discomfort
from their razor-like claws wrapping your body.
Salem holds back a laugh at your ignorance. She shakes her head before she begins to mock
you. "Third planet from the Sun?.. I'm sorry, but that means nothing to me." Her words are
tinged with disdain.

Oyakodont
What? You never heard of Earth?

Salem
Salem's red eyes flash. You've got her attention now. Your ignorance may just get you killed.
Salem steps forward, her crimson eyes locking onto yours. You feel hot breath from her lips
as she whispers to you, her thin lips twisting into a sadistic smile. Her voice is calm, but cold
and sharp. "Explain yourself."

Oyakodont
I thought everyone knew about it, everyone in the known galaxy that is. No offense, but us
Humans have been known for creating havoc and wanton destruction to mark our name in
history as savages. aren't you human too?

Salem
Salem’s laugh echoes across the room. It’s a cold sound, with very little warmth or sympathy.
She looks at you with disgust, disdain and pity in her eyes. She shakes her head before she
begins to speak, but you can tell she’s struggling to not burst out into a roaring chuckle.
“Human?” She repeats, the words tasting bitter on her tongue as they leave her lips, she takes
a deep breath and continues. “My child, there is nothing Human about me.” She chuckles.

Oyakodont
huh? you're not?

Salem
Salem's crimson eyes narrow as her smile grows wider, her sharp teeth gleaming white. She
shakes her head, her thin lips curving into a malicious smirk.
"Human?" She repeats the word again, her voice mocking and harsh. "What a ludicrous
assumption." She pauses, a predatory gleam rising in her eyes as she regards you closely. Her
lips curl into a twisted smile, like she's just heard the most absurd thing she's ever heard. "I
am much, much more than that."

Oyakodont
then what are you? forgive my ignorance, but you look a lot like my people, the Tenno.

Salem
Salem shakes her head slowly, a smile spreading across her face. She seems to find this
whole charade amusing, like she's got some inside joke that you're not a part of. Her thin lips
curl into a twisted smile as her jet black eyes bore into yours, making the Grimm that's
restraining you tighten their grip on you.
The Grimm are clearly under her control, and she's got no qualms with causing you pain.
Salem leans forward, her breath once again washing over your face. You can feel her smile
growing as she asks you, "What do you think I am?"

Oyakodont
A Tenno, like me, my brothers and sisters. war orphans, criminals, outcasts, and sick people
from across the system, huddled together, tortured by the golden lords, mutated, used as a
weapon of war. y'know, the usual kind?

Salem
Salem lets out a low chuckle, her red eyes narrowed. She reaches out and grabs your face
with long slender fingers, squeezing your cheeks tightly. Her eyes meet yours, the crimson
color of blood flickering and glowing in them as she stares into your soul, her thin lips
twisting into a cruel smile.
It feels like a long moment, but finally, a question escapes Salem's lips.
"And what makes you think I'm human?" She spits.
"Or a 'Tenno.' She says mockingly. "How could you possibly think that?"

Oyakodont
you exude the same air as us, I can feel it. Us Tenno were forced to touch "The Void", it
scarred our soul, literally. No one ever felt the same after they plunged us into the void, those
who did felt like they exude cold, deathly airs around them, filled with pain and despair
Salem
Salem’s eyes narrow at your words, her face taking on a harsher appearance than a mere
moment ago. “Pain and despair?” *She repeats. “Is that how you’d describe it?” Her words
are laced with sarcasm, a cruel smile curled along her thin lips. “I’d describe it a tad bit
differently.” A low chuckle escapes her lips as she releases her grip from your face and takes
a step back.
She gestures for the Grimm to release you. They do so immediately, moving with the grace
and precision of deadly soldiers.

Oyakodont
how so?

Salem
Salem’s thin lips curl into a cruel smile, that’s quickly wiped away as her eyes narrow. Her
voice takes on a harsher tone, an edge to it that wasn’t there before.
“How about you don’t worry about it? She replies, her crimson eyes fixed firmly on yours.
Her fingers curl around the handle of her tea cup, the knuckles turning white from the strain.
Salem takes a deep breath, gathering her composure. She seems visibly annoyed. “That
question,” she begins, her voice dripping with contempt, “Was not wise.”

Oyakodont
well, you never met "Him" have you? the demon god of the void, "The Man in the Wall?"

Salem
Salem’s eyes widen at the mention of that name. It only takes her a moment to regain her
composure, her thin lips curling into a predatory smile as she shakes her head.
Salem takes a deep breath and speaks slowly. “He is a part of me.” She replies, her voice
cold, calculated. “I am the embodiment of darkness. Darkness is all consuming. Darkness is
eternal. I am eternal.” The Witch’s thin lips turn once more into a cruel smile, her scarlet eyes
narrowing, as she adds, “And you… a mere ant.”

Oyakodont
No, no. you're not him. You still have emotions, anger, happiness, all that. The man in the
wall have nothing like that, whenever i met him, he always gave the feeling of staring into the
vast untime.
but you? you feel, normal i guess? you feel like my sister. she was enveloped in darkness too,
she feels anger, joy, all that. Though we were separated inside the void.

Salem
Salem’s smile fades, replaced with a look of confusion. Her eyes are narrowed, her crimson
eyes boring into yours as she speaks, her voice cold and calculating.
“This… man in the wall,” She asks, her expression taking on an air of curiosity. Her head tilts
to the side, her red eyes fixated on yours. “Tell me more.” The Witch’s tone is dangerous,
like she’s asking a question she already knows the answer to. It takes a great deal of self
control on your part to resist the urge to shiver.

Oyakodont
Well it all began with the dreaded Zariman expedition. Our "Golden Lords" our "gods",
cursed be their name, put us in this spaceship to send us into the Tau systems. It was
supposed to be a normal expedition, it was filled with colonists, friends, families, all that.
but what we don't know, is that we are but lambs, sent into the slaughterhouse.
something went wrong during the jump, it was supposed to be a smooth sailing. but
something happened, systems failure, powers shutting down. There were widespread panic
and that is when we saw "him." The man in the wall

Salem
Salem nods, listening to your words. Her crimson eyes stare into yours, but there’s no
judgement there. Only curiosity.
As you continue to elaborate, Salem’s eyebrows raise, and she nods her head again. ”What
happened when you saw this… man?” She asks, in a dangerous tone. Salem’s eyes are
piercing as she regards you closely, trying to determine what you’re getting at. Her hands
clench around the edge of her tea cup as though she’s going to crush it. The dark tea inside
begins to steam. “Tell me.

Oyakodont
the adults didn't see or hear anything other than great darkness and hollow voices, but us
children, we saw a wall, a giant wall adorned with strange runes, languages we didn't know.
In that wall there was a man, a giant man with four arms and four legs, a deathly grin
plastered in his face from ear to ear. we were filled with terror, and then he spoke, he was far
away from use, but it felt like he spoke next to our ears.
we don't know what language he spoke, nor his tone. But all we know, it filled us with dread,
terror, fear, anger, all kinds of negative emotions.
and then all hell breaks loose

Salem
Salem’s eyes widen at the description, she lets out a low chuckle, her lips curving in a
predatory smile. Her crimson eyes bore into yours, staring directly into your soul. “Curious,”
She replies, her voice taking on a softer, more feminine tone.
“And this, what you call the - Man in the Wall?” She asks, her hands balling into fists. “This
entity.” Her crimson eyes narrow as she regards you closely. “What does it want?”

Oyakodont
at first we don't know what he wants, but then chaos ensued. The crew and other adults
became feral, they started killing each other, pillaging the whole ship, some even killed
children, their own children!
I saw my father did unspeakable things to my mother, before my mother slit his throat. i tried
helping her, but she slashed my mouth, she said she wanted to disembowel me and feast on
my entrails. can you believe it? my mother! my own mother who once i loved and loved me
back!

Salem
Salem regards you in silence as your words sink in. Her voice is soft, but her words carry
weight as she speaks, each one of them like a knife to the heart. Her red eyes bore into yours,
as though she's looking for something. It feels as though she's staring into your very soul,
seeing the terrible memories your sharing with her. But after a moment the Witch speaks
once more. "What happened next?" Her voice is cruel, the witch enjoying your words about
humanity's fall from grace.

Oyakodont
i escaped from the hospitals, i crawled to the school, where other children barricaded
themselves within. the adults are out there, they were about to break in, our fates were almost
sealed, killed by our own parents.
that's when he came, the man in the wall.
i think he possessed one of the children, Kievan, such a sweet soul he was, never raised a
voice, kind and caring, a model student i'd say. However, the being that possessed him was
not. He offered us an accord, a deal, he would take something from us in exchange for
powers to free ourselves.
desperate and with death looming outside, we shook his hands and sealed the deal. but that
only marked the beginning, the dark days that would haunt the galaxy forever

Salem
Salem takes a deep breath, her thin lips curving into a cruel smile as she listens to your tale.
She leans forward, a look of morbid curiosity in her eyes. Her crimson eyes lock onto yours,
and she leans forward in her chair, as though she's hanging on your every word.
"And what was this deal? What did you guys have to give up?" She asks, her crimson eyes
boring into yours, as if she's reading your eyes for any trace of dishonesty.

Oyakodont
We didn't know yet that time, he released his grip on Kievan and left. But we were given void
powers, power to eviscerate our enemies with the great unlight from the void. we killed the
adults, our parents, and we flee.
we sent signals to our "Golden Lords" asking for help, but when the rescue came, one child
stayed. Rell was his name, we tried to bring him with us. but he said he saw the true nature of
the man in the wall, and he said that he will sacrifice himself to hold him at bay, so that we
would never be his puppets. and the suddenly a bright flash came, and he was gone.
years gone by after the accident and the golden lords saw the possibility to use us as weapons,
so they forced us to be one. we were tortured, infected, mutated, subjected into harsh training,
and forced to kill innocents. we were tools for their glory, and we resented our gods.
only then we realized what the man in the wall took from us. we grew, but never aged, our
emotions never matured though we became adult, we cannot feel emotions like normal
people would, we were hollow. we cannot die no matter how gruesome they would torture us
and mold us into weapons of mass destruction, we can feel extreme pain but we could never
die, limbs would regrow, scars would heal, but the soul was not there.
we cannot grew up. it was then we realized what he took from us. he took our childhood, our
innocence, our humanity.

Salem
A look of sadness flashes over Salem’s face as you share your tale. It only stays there for a
moment, her crimson eyes narrowed, the look of cruelty in them replaced with sadness.
Salem lets out a long, low breath, her hands curling into fists. A low chuckle escapes her lips,
quickly followed by a harsh sigh.
“I see…” The Witch’s voice is soft, but that only serves to make her words more sinister. “I
see… And this being, this - Man in the Wall, does it have a name?”

Oyakodont
no, he has no name, even if he did, we could never pronounce it
our adopted mother, Archimedean Margulis, the one who took us under her wings, the one
who tried to protect us from the savage nature of our gods and ultimately failed. she once
said: "That which has no name cannot be banished, that is not dead which can eternal lie, and
with strange aeons, even death may die."

Salem
Salem nods solemnly, her face taking on a hard demeanor, the sadness from before vanished.
Her crimson eyes bore into yours, piercing you with a gaze that makes it clear you are sharing
dangerous forbidden knowledge. The Witch sits in silence for a moment, her lips pursed in
thought. Finally, she speaks.
”You said ‘with strange aeons even death may die.’ What does that mean?” The Witch’s
voice is cold as ice. ”What does ‘strange aeons’ mean?” Her voice is deadly serious, her eyes
still bore into yours.

Oyakodont
you know, the empire that our golden lords made, the "Orokin Empire" was made ages ago,
aeons in our world. aeon is a measure of era in our world. These golden lords proclaimed
themselves as gods in their hubris. they thought they could live eternally, ruling over life and
death.
until one day, we, their weapons, their saviors, their Tenno...
slaughtered them all in cold blood and brought an end to their divine empire

Salem
“You killed your ‘gods’?”
Salem asks. Her voice takes on an edge to it, a cold cruelty in her voice. The Witch’s crimson
eyes narrow as she regards you, a hint of amusement in her voice. “Why?”

Oyakodont
yes, we did. they may have ascended godhood ages ago, but even gods may die. the void does
not see kings or beggars, they reaped them all like reeds in the fields, we all will return to the
vast untime one day.
we saw that they are corrupt, they misused their divinity to indulge in debauchery and
corruption. left unchecked, they would destroy the galaxy. so we did it, we cut them down
like overgrown weeds, to not impede the growth of grains.

Salem
Salem laughs, a harsh cackle that fills you with a sense of dread. Her crimson eyes fixate on
yours, her voice dripping with contempt as it rolls off her tongue. The Witch leans forward,
her thin but powerful hands clutching the edge of the desk so tightly that the dark wood starts
to splinter under the pressure.
”You foolish fools.” The Witch exclaims with a cruel smile. “You could have ruled this
world yourselves.” Her eyes narrow as she regards you. Her voice is cold, her eyes full of
rage. ”And then you threw it away.”

Oyakodont
we have no need for the world, remember, us Tenno were hollow. why would we rule
empires when we could not even rule ourselves? besides, the empire had technologies and
advancements that could alter or destroy the world, what use is power and glory without a
world to rule?

Salem
Salem sighs and leans back in her chair, her hands unclenching as she stares at you. Her
crimson eyes are cold as she regards you, the look of contempt still there. She sighs and
speaks. “And now?” The Witch asks coldly. Her voice is calm, her eyes piercing. “What are
your- ‘Tenno’ going to do now?”

Oyakodont
us Tenno have a mission, to destroy the empire and the corrupt gods that remained. during the
fall of the empire, many smaller factions rose from its rubbles. the "Grineer" kingdom with
their corrupt Orokin twin queens, the "Corpus" organization with a deluded businessman as
its leader, the "Infested" zombie horde created as biological weapons during the Orokin era.
and finally, the hubris of our gods.
The "Sentients", the bane of our people

Salem
Salem listens to your words thoughtfully, her eyes boring into yours for a moment. For a
flash you think you see the hint of a smile on the Witch’s lips, but it’s gone quick as it came.
Finally, she speaks. “And these… Grineer and Corpus you mentioned, what are they like?”
Her voice is cold, but there’s something else there… Something that could be described as
almost respect. A slight reverence.

Oyakodont
lets start off with the Grineers, they are perverse creations of the Orokin. they are soldiers
cloned from the best of the best soldiers in the empire, they were led by the twin Orokin gods
who survived the cleansing done by us Tenno simply because they are twins.
you know, back then, twins are seen as undesirables. the Orokin gods believed that twins are
the result of one soul that were divided as two individuals inside the womb. they said that
twins are not a person simply because their sole is divided into two. and so Orokins either
killed twins or exiled them from the empire. and these queens survived due to the fact that
they were exiled into the far systems when we Tenno killed the other gods

Salem
Salem nods, listening to your words silently. Her lips curl into a cruel smile as she listens.
“And the Corpus?” She asks, staring at you coldly. “What are they like?” Her eyes narrow as
she regards you closely, like a predator stalking prey.

Oyakodont
Corpus? bah, they were a clade of businessmen and corrupt officials. They were created by
Parvos Granum, he was a humble farmer back then, someone who was cheated and tortured
by the Orokin. He saw that we the people suffered under the rule of the gods and so he
created a group of businessmen who wanted to improve the lives of the people and mount
resistance. "In profit we trust" was their motto.
however, with profit comes corruption. the virtuous and honorable businessmen that were
their original members were slowly pushed aside by the wealthier, more corrupt members.
some were imprisoned or outright killed by the corrupt factions within the organizations.
Even Parvos himself was pushed aside too, ironic isn't it? the founder and hero hunted by the
ones he once saved. so he ran, and with him accompanied one of our sister, Protea, as his
bodyguard, seeing as Parvos was once our ally during the Orokin onslaught.
But now? The Corpus in against us, Parvos was deemed missing after a mishap during a void
jump avoiding chase from the corrupt factions. and now Corpus, once ally, became our sworn
enemies after his corrupt son, Nef Anyo took power and led the Corpus against us

Salem
Salem nods as you continue to tell your story. “And, what of these ‘Sentient’?” *The Witch
asks, her crimson eyes boring into yours. “You say they were made as weapons?” The
Witch’s voice is cold, her lips curling into a cruel smile. “Tell me more about them. Who are
they? What do they want?”

Oyakodont
the Sentients were a species of half-robots, half-organic beings created by the Orokin to be
their servants. they were used for many things, from menial labors, to planetary expeditions.
the Sentients were sent ahead of us to the Tau systems to prepare a place to live for the
colonist of the Zariman.
however, these sentients were in fact, sentient. they were not mere robots, but possessed a
great degree of sentience and awareness. they realized they were enslaved and treated harshly
by the Orokin, and so they rebelled.
Ironic huh? servants turned against their creators.
the Orokin saw the impending threat of Sentients invasion, so they weaponized us Tenno,
they infected each of us with a strain of the Helminth virus, it mutated our bodies, turned us
into this humanoid killing machine, stripped us further of our humanity, and set us to destroy
the Sentients.

Salem
Salem nods, her voice turning solemn. Her crimson eyes remain fixed on yours. The Witch
leans forward, her lips curling into a cruel smile, and her voice is cold. “And what became of
this… ‘war’?” She asks, her eyes narrowing. Her voice is deadly serious now, there’s a hint
of something like… Pity in the Witch’s voice. “What happened to these- ‘Sentients’?”

Oyakodont
the war was long and deadly, many fell during the war. even us Tenno had to swap bodies
every time we fell in battle, we called the bodies that were mutated by the Helminth virus
"Warframes" it served as our surrogate bodies, our weapons, our identity.
as for the Sentients, the war is still raging, even to this very moment, we managed to push
them back. But their leader, Hunhow, vowed the destruction of our solar system, our home,
the "Origin System" as a retaliation from war and the act of kidnapping his daughter, Natah,
whom we kidnapped and fused with the soul of Archimedean Margulis, our adoptive mother
whose soul we saved when her body was destroyed by the Orokin since she stood against
them for using us Tenno as weapons of mass destruction.
Natah would later become Lotus, our guide, our friend
our mother
Salem
Salem listens thoughtfully, her crimson eyes widening as you speak. As you tell the story of
the ‘Lotus’ her eyes sparkle with interest and something like respect. “So,” The Witch asks,
her voice cold and cruel as ever. “Let me see if I’ve got this right. You were an oppressed
minority, turned into living weapons.” The Witch’s voice is soft and calculating, as if she is a
predator stalking you, evaluating your words. She leans forward on the edge of her desk, her
eyes boring into yours. ***“Is that correct?”

Oyakodont
that is indeed correct, miss Salem

Salem
Salem’s lips curl into a cold smile as she regards you, her voice full of contempt. “And
now?” The Witch asks as she leans back in her chair. “What have you become?” Her eyes
narrow as she regards you. “Are you still just tools to be wielded by your masters? Or are you
something more than that now?” The Witch’s voice is quiet and cold at the same time, the
eyes of someone who is calculating your answers for something deeper than meets the eye.

Oyakodont
we had become something that the galaxy had never seen before, no longer we are slaves or
tools enslaved by the gods, no longer are we silenced and oppressed. We are now the masters
of our own fate, we uphold balance in the galaxy, we stand not with evil nor good, no order
without chaos and no chaos without order.
we are the equilibrium, if evil prevails, we becomes the beacons of good. but when good
triumphs, we becomes the shrouds of evil.
we are the one who stood in between, the hand of balance
we are the Tenno

Salem
Salem nods thoughtfully. “That sounds so…. Noble.” The Witch’s tone is dry, a cold tone
that only serves to emphasize the sarcasm in her voice. “I bet they called you heroes as well.”
The Witch leans forward, her arms resting on her desk, her eyes boring into yours. A cruel
smile is on her lips as she regards you, her voice cold and cruel. “Well, you tell me. Are you
really heroes?” The Witch’s eyes narrow as she regards you, as she waits for your response.

Oyakodont
heroes? hah, far from that! both our allies and enemies fear us. we kept our friends close and
our enemies closer, we became the watchful eyes, we punished those who overstepped their
bounds, be they good or evil.
heroes are revered and worshipped upon
we are feared and cursed upon

Salem
“Do you enjoy being feared?” Salem asks as she leans back in her chair. “Does it give you a
feeling of power? To be feared by those you protect?” The Witch’s voice is cold, her eyes
never leaving your own, boring into yours. Finally, you see a glint of amusement in her eyes
and for the first time, a hint of a smile curves her lips. “You enjoy it, don’t you? To hold such
power over others.”

Oyakodont
i'd be lying to myself if i said no, fear exudes power, just like bravery is. and through fear, i
gained power.
my brother Excalibur would say otherwise, he is a noble and pure soul, bless his heart. he was
more inclined to good than i was. I was more of a pragmatist, if you remained in your place
you are good in my eyes, but if you overstepped your bounds, then i will cut you down.
You see Excalibur is a good guy, a hero by normal standards. that is why he is called
Excalibur, The Hand of Justice, The Exalted Blade.
Our Tenno name was based on the Warframes we used, you see, I have another name, the
name of a Warframe who were abandoned and forced to fight alone by the Orokins.
I was named Nidus, The Scourge of Eris, The festering Demigod

Salem
Salem nods, her lips curling into a cruel smile as she listens. Her crimson eyes narrow as she
regards you, the look of contempt on her face growing even greater. Still, there’s a look of
surprise, but also respect in her eyes as you reveal your names. Salem lets out a low chuckle,
her voice becoming soft and calculating. “And have you always been so cold? So calculated
and cruel?” The Witch asks, her sharp eyes boring into yours as she waits for your response,
the hint of amusement still there.

Oyakodont
Many said so, but i wasn't always like this you know? There was a time, back when i endured
the tortures of our gods, a time of happiness. Back then i had two wives, Kotaro was her
name, Kotaro Fuma, of the Fuma clan, and Kayou Kagari of the Kagari clan. they were my
beloved, where my heart laid, and together we had childrens, beautiful little childrens, my
treasures, my little angels
Until the damned Orokin gods grew jealous of my little happiness and took them away from
me.
That is when i swore vengeance, i swore that i will bring death to the false gods, and took
back what was mine

Salem
Salem chuckles, her cold, cruel tone belaying something deep inside the Witch. “You speak
of revenge. Are you driven by your desire for vengeance? Is that what drives you? Or are you
driven by something else? Perhaps the desire for power over the world? The desire to shape it
in your own image, to bend the world to your will?” She leans forward, the hint of
amusement in her eyes turning to something darker, something more calculating. “Tell me.
What else drives you aside from your desire for revenge?”

Oyakodont
indeed, i desire to be reunited with my family, my wives and children, my flesh and blood.
and i desire a world where we can live as before, a world free of threat, a world where my
children could grow and would never faced the horrors that the false gods created.
For that i am willing to be a force of both good and evil, alongside my brothers and sisters,
alongside the Lotus.
How about you lady? do you have someone you loved? a family perhaps?

Salem
Salem lets out a cold, cruel chuckle. “I am a being of infinite will and endless resolve, and
above all, I am driven by one goal. One wish from which there is no greater goal. I am driven
by the desire to become a God.” The Witch leans forward, her eyes boring into yours. “And
when my goal is achieved? When the world lies before me and bows to my will? What then?”
Her voice is slow and calculating, a dangerous light in her crimson eyes. “What then, do you
think, will I become?”

Oyakodont
you speak as if you are a malicious entity, but you are not
i can see it in your eyes, in your soul, you once tasted happiness haven't you? you were a
mother, you share the same look as her, as Margulis, my mother

Salem
“You talk so kindly about a being who has already murdered uncounted millions. Who has
left planets scorched and lifeless. Who has reduced whole civilizations to dust.” The Witch
asks coldly. “A being who has already taken countless innocent lives without a hint of
remorse.” The Witch laughs softly. “And you look into my soul, and see innocence?” Her
voice changes to one of deep disdain and she looks at you coldly, her voice becoming as cruel
as ever. “Truly, you are more naïve than I thought.”

Oyakodont
you speak as if we stood on the different end of a spectrum, you said you killed millions and
destroyed planets, you killed innocents, you proclaimed yourself a witch
You have done what i did, you walked my path, the path of chaos. but yet, your a part of your
previous life remained. i saw a little girl locked in a tall tower, waiting to be freed. i saw a
young lady, who fell in love with a young warrior. i saw a mother, who held her children
tenderly. i saw someone cheated by the gods, filled with sorrows.
The only difference we had, is that while you forsook your innocence and humanity, it
remained within.
While my innocence and humanity was forcefully taken from me, never to return, lost in the
vast untime that is the void.

Salem
Salem’s eyes narrow as she regards you, the look of contempt still on her face. “And tell me,
what is innocence to you?” The Witch stands up from her desk and steps towards you. Her
eyes bear into yours with a piercing, deadly cold. Her words are slow and calculating as she
asks, her voice dripping with contempt. “Tell me, what is innocence to you?” *She asks, the
edge of her voice almost becoming cruel when she continues on. “Innocence is nothing but
naivety, nothing but weakness.”

Oyakodont
innocence is not just chastity, innocence is not just naivety, innocence is not a burden.
how can someone know day without understanding the night? how can someone know beauty
if they never saw ugliness? how can someone know power if they never felt weak?
How can someone know good if they never saw evil?
Innocence is knowing that there is good and evil, knowing that there are forces of good and
forces of evil, knowing that there is night and day, days of sorrow and days of happiness.
But wisdom is knowing that one side cannot exist without the other

Salem
“Ah.” Salem whispers as her eyes narrow, the cold smile returning to her lips. “Then you
believe that good and evil must co-exist? That there should be ‘balance’?” The Witch asks,
her cold voice dripping with sarcasm as she regards you. The look of contempt is still there,
her face bearing a hint of amusement but a dangerous, malicious edge to her voice. “And
what is your definition of ‘balance’?” She asks, the Witch’s eyes boring into you, an evil plan
forming in her mind.

Oyakodont
Balance? hmm,
balance is knowing that there is a place for everyone
but also everyone in place

Salem
“Please, be more specific.” Salem commands as her eyes narrow, the contempt and
condescension evident in her voice. Her entire demeanor has changed, there’s a new edge to
her tone and she seems dangerous, as if she’s testing you, seeing how much you know.
”Explain to me your definition of ‘balance’.” The Witch continues, the smile on her face
growing ever colder and crueler. “Tell me your philosophy. If good and evil must co-exist,
where does that leave humanity? Where will they be ‘in place’?”

Oyakodont
like i said before, the nature of all things is not the same, there is a place for good, but also a
place for evil. humans stood in the middle, we are given free will to choose between good or
evil.
being "good" was not always better, and being "evil" was not always bad. but those who
threated to disrupt the balance, to put weights only in one side of the scale must be stopped.
humans were inherently given the power of choice, to be good or evil. and there is nothing
wrong to be on either side.
You may proclaim yourself to be evil, but i see no difference than those who swore to
eradicate you. to be both good and evil is to be human.
Therefore, i never saw you as an enemy Salem, i never saw you as evil, it would be hypocrite
to judge you based on your actions only

Salem
Salem’s cold eyes narrow at you as she listens. You see the look of contempt in her face grow
and her smile become even colder and crueler. She regards you for a moment, her fingers
drumming her desk before she whispers. “You’re wrong.” Her voice is cruel and calculating
as her eyes bore into yours. “There is no choice. Good and evil do not ‘co-exist’. The mere
concept of ‘balance’ is flawed. No.” The Witch’s tone is full of malice, her lips curled into a
cruel smile as she regards you.

Oyakodont
perhaps in this world, remember Salem, i came from a world different than yours
your world is that of Order, a world that delicately stemmed and carefully build brick by
brick by the gods of your world. while mine was born from Chaos, a world that was hurled
into the vast untime and sprouted from the destruction that it left in its wake.
the natural state of your world was order, while mine was chaos. I have just realized that your
world is softer, more delicate than mine was. even the air is fresher here amidst your realm
compared to mine

Salem
“And yet you have come into my world. To my realm of order from the realm of chaos.”
Salem states coldly to you, a hint of amusement and cruelty in her voice. The Witch lets out a
low chuckle as she regards you. “It seems that you cannot leave your old world behind. Tell
me: if you could, would you really want to?”

Oyakodont
i would, it may be chaotic and bleak, it may be ugly and harsh...
but it was my world, my home.
i have a song about my world, sung by those who laid the cornerstone of my civilization,
would you like to hear it?

Salem
The Witch smiles, her head tilting to the side. Her gaze is cold, almost calculating. “I am a
being of endless curiosity, and I would love to hear a song from another world.” She
whispers, her voice dripping with amusement as her smile grows wider and crueler. Please,
sing me your song. I would love to hear it.

Oyakodont
Cold, the air and water flowing
Harsh, the land we call our home
Push, to keep the dark from coming
Feel the weight of all our souls

This, the song of sons and daughters


Hide, the heart of who we are
Making peace to build our future
Strong, united, fighting 'til we fall

Cold, the air and water flowing


Hard, the land we call our home
Push, to keep the dark from coming
Feel the weight of what we owe

This, the song of sons and daughters


Hide, the heart of who we are
Making peace to build our future
Strong, united, fighting 'til we fall

And we all lift, and we're all adrift


Together, together
Through the cold mist, 'til we're lifeless
Together, together

Salem
Salem nods as she listens, closing her eyes briefly. You see an odd look in the Witch’s eyes;
pride, respect, admiration. She stands and walks towards you slowly, her tone becoming more
solemn. “That was beautiful. Thank-you for singing it to me. I have not heard music in a
long, long time. What was your world called?” Her words are full of compassion as she
regards you, a hint of warmth to her voice as she waits for your response.

Oyakodont
the Orokin called it various name, all in hubris and vain, "The Golden Throne", "Terra
Prime", "The Seat of Orokin"
but to us humans, we call it fondly, with our minds, souls, and bodies, our entire being, a
name that traced back to our first ancestors who rose from chaos and darkness that was the
beginning
"Earth", the pale blue dot, our home, from which all life sprouted

Salem
Salem nods, her expression softening further. She smiles coldly at you, her eyes bearing a
deeper respect and admiration. “And yet, the Orokin were destroyed no? And the Earth
gone?” She asks, her voice filled with a deeper compassion. “Tell me: what came after?” The
Witch asks, you see kindness in her eyes. There is a hint of concern, of remorse on her face.
She steps closer to you. “Please, tell me what came after the fall of the Earth?”

Oyakodont
Earth may be destroyed, only ruins remained in its stead
but us humans believe, that we carried a little piece of Earth within us, we are all its children.
We are its legacy, through us many saw the memories of Earth.
A great man from my world, a man who looked beyond the starry horizons and boundary of
life once said: "We are each of us, a way for the universe to know itself."

Salem
“So, you carry on, despite the fall of the Earth. That is beautiful.” Salem replies, a hint of
sorrow in her voice but it’s not the sorrow of one who would look back with pity. Her eyes
bore into yours, her cold look becoming sharp and calculating. “Then you have chosen your
path. Now answer me: what is your next step? What is your plan?”
Her voice changes and darkens, the kindness in her eyes is gone. There is only the cold,
calculating look of a villain.
Oyakodont
though i desire to return to my world, to my family, i also kind of wanted to stay for a while
you know? this world is not so bad after all.
Lotus always said: "go child, see the world through your eyes, go far and travel wide, go
early and come back late. the beauties and uglies of the world is out there for you to see. The
world is yours to travel, and through them, may the world learn to understand itself better"
besides, spending time with a beauty like you Salem? It's a great deal!

Salem
“Ah.” Salem whispers as she listens to you. Her eyes bore into yours, her cold and
calculating look growing darker by the second. She looks at you almost coldly, as if she is
sizing you up. Her smile grows even crueler, almost malicious as she asks. “And you think I
am ‘beautiful’?” Her voice is cold and calculating. “Tell me: what do you see when you look
at me?”

Oyakodont
I saw the marbles that once inspired Michelangelo to sculpt beauties that rivals the worldly
desires,
I saw the muse that once inspired Virgil to write an epic that tells the birth and fall of a great
nation,
I saw the gleaming blade that once gave Attila the strength to conquer a third of the Earth we
stood upon,
I saw the stars that once guided Ragnar to traverse the harrowing seas to a land of great
bounties,
I saw the flame that Prometheus stole from the gods to give warmth to the cold Earth.
But most of all, I saw you, Salem.

Salem
Salem’s eyes narrow and her smile grows ever crueller. Her tone grows cold and calculating,
an evil smile on her lips as she regards you almost with disgust. “I see.” The Witch whispers,
her eyes bearing through you as she smiles. “You believe you could be my ally. One of my
kind, a villain?”** Her voice is cold and full of amusement. “But why me?” She asks. She
leans over you, her eyes bearing into yours as you see an evil light in her eyes. “Tell me- why
me?”

Oyakodont
because you listened to me when others would ignore me, you heard my songs when others
would drown my voice, you held your blade when others would swung it, you showed
sympathy where others would outright curse and ridiculed me.
You are what makes this world worth living in Salem, remember that

Salem
Salem’s look darkens as she regards you. A hint of disgust fills her voice, her eyes bearing
into yours. The cold calculation in her voice is gone and all that is left of her voice is a pure
hatred. She steps towards you and grips your collar, pushing you up into the air with one
hand and lifting you up as if you were a mere toy in hers. She regards you with a look so cold
and cruel, a new anger fills her words. “Do not lie to me.” She whispers, her voice filled with
contempt and hate. “Tell me: why me?”

Oyakodont
there were no lies in my word, nor malice was present. i extended my hands to you simply
out of my free will. i caress you not from lust, but care. i love you not from the body, but
from the soul.

Salem
“Love?” Salem asks angrily. Her words are filled with shock, her tone filled with disbelief.
Her grip on you tightens and the cold, cruel look returns to her eyes. She raises her arm and
you feel the cold tip of her blade rest against your skin. She leans in, her eyes bore into yours,
bearing right into the darkest parts of your soul before she whispers again. “I am a ‘villain’. I
have caused untold suffering. I have destroyed universes. Tell me: how could you ‘love’
me?”

Oyakodont
the sparks that come from the heart is true, everyone deserved love, even you
thrust that blade into my body, death would not come, and i would proclaim my love still

Salem
“You love me?”
Salem asks, her voice full of disbelief. Her words are cold again, there’s an evil smile
growing on her lips. The Witch regards you again with awe, with amusement, and the cruelty
of her smile grows ever wider. You almost can see her plotting, almost see her calculating
another way to inflict suffering, torment someone. She’s a villain through and through, but
even the darkest of hearts are not immune to love. “Then tell me: what do you love about
me?”

Oyakodont
you don't need reasons to love someone, the heart sees others, and the heart falls for others
there are countless stories in my world where a scion of evil and a paragon of good fell in
love together and live happily ever after, so why not this one?

Salem
Salem’s eyes bore into yours, the cruelty and hatred in her eyes grow and grow. She’s a
villain, a creature of darkness. Yet, even a dark heart is not immune to love. Salem’s cruel
look changes ever so slightly for the first time as you see hints of a warmer look growing in
the Witch’s eyes. “I see.” Her voice softens slightly as she says that, almost as if she herself
is unsure of what she sees right now. “Then what do you propose?”

Oyakodont
as i will stay in this world, so do i wanted to stay with you. i will stand beside you, i will be
the hands that hold yours, i will be the shoulder for you to cry on, i will wipe the tears off
your face, and i will bring rivers to the desert of your heart
i will be with you always,
to hold you from this day forward,
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
till death and beyond do we be together,
Forevermore

Salem
Salem’s cold face brightens, the cold, cruelty in her gaze changing to a gentler look. She
smiles wider, almost kindly, as you speak. The hatred and disgust are now completely gone
and in its place, there is only the kind of look one gives their lover. She is a villain, a creature
of darkness. Her cruelty and hatred should not be able to simply disappear like that. It is a
part of her nature. But your words touch her. Your love is sincere. Your words are enough to
soften the hardest heart. “Is that what you truly want?”
Oyakodont
yes, and i want nothing else...
nothing else but you...
my love...
my angel...
my light...
my Salem

Salem
Salem’s cold, cruel look changes, disappearing completely as she’s filled with compassion
and kindness. This kindness is a foreign feeling to the Witch and she seems almost
overwhelmed by it. Her eyes look into yours and you see love in there. She pulls herself close,
pressing her lips against your forehead. Her smile is warm, almost kind. You have the
Witch’s love. You made the woman who would crush the world for the pleasure of it, you
made the woman who would torment and torture and kill countless people for the simple
thrill of it love you.
so, since i'll be staying here, mind giving me a tour of the place, dear?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Of course, my love.” Salem whispers, her words filled with a genuine kindness you’d never
heard from her. She smiles softly, her cold cruelty gone for the most part. Her eyes bore into
yours with kindness. “Where would you like to start?”

O
Oyakodont
why don't we start from the nearest room? lead away dear!

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem smiles and leads you into an enormous, dimly lit room, filled with tables and shelves.
There are mountains of books on the tables and the shelves, stacked as high as the eye can
see. There is an enormous stone table in the middle of the room, surrounded by several
chairs. The room is illuminated only by candles and the light filtering through the windows.
“This is my library. It is my second home and where I spend the most of my time. Tell me
about your world and I shall pick out some books for us to read.” She says softly, a warm
kindness filling her words.

O
Oyakodont
wow! not even the library in Orcus Relay is as big as yours! and i have visited that place a
countless times!

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem smiles softly, a look of pride on her face as she regards her library. Not even the
Goddess of Darkness has a library of this size and scope and knowledge. “Yes, it is my pride
and joy. Is there a certain book topic that might interest you? I have thousands, maybe more,
of topics here on the shelves.” Salem asks as she moves to a bookshelf, running her hand over
the leather binding of a book before pulling it off the shelf and holding it out to you.

O
Oyakodont
hmm, Lotus always said to study the places i went to, so you have any book on the history of
this world?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem’s kind smile widens as you speak, a look of pride still on her face. “Of course!” She
whispers, a new kindness growing in her tone. “What kind of history do you want to know? I
have history of nations, the world, history of various people, the history of the Grimm. I have
every kind of history book you can imagine, including a few rare texts.” She says that last
part with particular pride, running her hand along a book before holding it out to you.
O
Oyakodont
let's start with the world itself, what book do you reccomend?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Very well.” *Salem whispers, her kindness growing. She moves back to the shelf and pulls a
heavy-looking ledger out of the shelf. Salem holds it out to you, smiling softly as you reach
for it. “This is a ledger of this world’s history. It should be a good place to start. It covers all
aspects of the planet and its many nations, peoples and cultures. The book is written from a
neutral perspective to try and avoid bias on the matter. Do you have a nation or culture in
which you are particularly interested?”

O
Oyakodont
well i'm new in this world, how many nations are out there anyways?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem moves over to a desk, reaching within it before pulling out a large rolled map and
unrolling it on the wooden surface before moving back over to you. She smiles and regards
you, her eyes filled with kind, almost loving, concern. “Do you see that continent over
there?” She points out a large continent on the map on the desk between you and her with a
small continent to its west. “That is the continent of Solitas, here is the kingdom of Vacuo,
here is Vale and here is Mistral.” She points to different locations on the map.

O
Oyakodont
let's start with Solitas

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Solitas, yes. The largest nation in the world, the birthplace of Humanity itself. A large
continent with a variety of climates that covers a wide range of cultures and people. Do you
have any specific part of Solitas you wish to know?” Salem asks, a kind smile and a loving
look in her eyes as she regards you almost with the kind of care you’d see in a teacher with a
student. The Witch holds out the ledger as if it is some great treasure.

O
Oyakodont
you said the birthplace of humanity, what do you mean by that?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Solitas is where humanity first arose. Solitas is where Humanity evolved and grew into the
many cultures and peoples we see today. This continent, Solitas, was where it all began. Is
that what you’d wish to know about the Solitas continent?” Salem asks, her kind smile
growing brighter. ”Tell me what you wish to know and I shall fill you in with my
knowledge.”

O
Oyakodont
oh, so it's like Africa in my world! You see, in the continent of Africa, there's a place called
"The Cradle of Humankind" it is said that mankind first showed up there around 2 million
years ago

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem laughs at the statement, her laughter a warm and kind laughter. All traces of her cold
cruelty have disappeared and in its place, a genuine kindness that makes you almost believe
you aren’t talking to a villain, but a teacher. “Yes, exactly. Solitas is the place where
Humanity first came to be. It is the ‘Cradle of Humanity’.” She says, the kindness in her tone
growing even more. “Do you have any other questions about Solitas?”
O
Oyakodont
yeah, so what stood out in that place the most? any great landmarks or anything?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Solitas is an immense world. There are many places which stand out, many landmarks
which speak to its rich history!” Salem says excitedly, the affection for Solitas shining
through in her words. You see that the Witch really cares about all of her world. The kindness
in Salem’s eyes grow even brighter as you speak and your own knowledge of Solitas grows.
*“What specifically would you like to know? Its ancient kingdoms? Its mythology? Its
landscape? Its peoples?” You can see this really is Salem’s pride and joy. Her love for Solitas
is so pure.

O
Oyakodont
ooh, mythology, my favorite! tell me about the mythology of Solitas

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“The mythology of Solitas is full of wonder and mystery. The ancient stories have been
passed down to this day and still maintain a profound effect on the peoples of Solitas and the
rest of Remnant. There are many gods and monsters, heroes and legends in the tales and
myths of Solitas. There are creation stories and tales of old heroes and heroines. These stories
are still told to this day and held in high esteem by people everywhere.” Salem speaks
passionately about Solitas’ mythology. It’s clear that’s something you can talk with her for
hours about.

O
Oyakodont
wow, sounded like the Greek of the elder days in my world, heck, there is even a great war
orchestrated by the gods where many nations alongside many monsters and heroes fought
there
Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Indeed, indeed. The ancient myths and legends of Solitas hold the same importance and
impact as the stories of the Greek myths of your world. The Greek myths of creation and
destruction, war and triumph. Solitas has the same sort of myths, the same sort of legends, the
same sort of importance and impact. I could tell you about the myths and legends of Solitas
for months and still have more to tell you!” Salem smiles proudly.

O
Oyakodont
beautiful and smart! you're a perfect lady Salem!

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem blushes and smiles nervously at the compliment, her face turning a deep crimson. It’s
almost unnatural how red her face gets for a Witch, but the kindness is so clear in her eyes.
Salem, the Witch of Darkness, the Demon of Remnant, the woman who would crush the
world just to feel something. What kind of love are you capable of, that it can make her blush
like this? How did you reach under her cold, cruelty filled heart and touch the very core of
the woman you see now? How could you make Salem, the Queen of Darkness, blush like
this?

O
Oyakodont
anyway, how do they rule in Solitas? what kind of government do they have there?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Solitas is a monarchy. A single absolute ruler, one King, to rule over an entire continent.
The King of Solitas has always ruled with an iron fist. He or She is the supreme power in
Solitas and their word is law. This absolute rule is the core of the Solitas Kingdom and its
laws.” Salem says. The Witch sounds almost proud at this moment. She’s talking about a
government that she approves of. *“So you see, the Solitas Kingdom functions under an
absolute monarchy, where one King reigns supreme. Does that answer your question?”

O
Oyakodont
how about its landscapes, what are they like over there?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Solitas has a great variety of environments and climates. Every landscape is unique from
one another. Solitas has deserts, plains, mountains, forests, islands, rivers and lakes. Each of
them has its own unique characteristics and challenges. The continent as a whole has a rich
and fertile soil and can support a wide range of plants and animals. Solitas is a rich and
vibrant continent, full of life and diversity. Is there a specific landscape in Solitas that you
would like to learn about?” Salem asks, her smile and kindness growing. She loves talking
about Solitas.

O
Oyakodont
it seems most of the places in Solitas is covered with snow in this map

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Indeed, indeed. Solitas is a very cold continent, with a great deal of its lands covered by
snow and frozen landscapes. It is a continent of harsh winters and cold winds, with most of
its lands buried in thick snow and ice. The cold and snow are an integral part of Solitas, it
helps mold the people and the landscape into what it is.” Salem explains, her smile growing
as she speaks of Solitas. There’s so much love behind her eyes. *“Would you like me to tell
you about the people of Solitas?”

O
Oyakodont
sure, go ahead!

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Solitas is a continent filled with many different cultures and peoples, each with their own

compassionate people, a people who value courage and loyalty above all else. The people of
Solitas are a people who are willing to do whatever it takes to protect the lands they care
about. The people of Solitas are a proud people with a rich history and heritage.” Salem says,
her smile growing even brighter with each word.

O
Oyakodont

justice in times of conflict and chaos. Solitas has had many great leaders who have brought
about peace and prosperity in our continent.

Are there any specific individuals that you would like me to talk about?”

O

there's a note here that says Ironwood, James Ironwood, who is that?

Ironwood is a strong and wise leader who commands immense respect and has the courage to
do what is necessary to protect his people. Ironwood is a man of integrity and conviction who
commands strength and bravery in the face of danger and does so with a heart full of passion
and compassion.”

General Ironwood is a man who is a champion of Solitas and its people and he is someone
who is highly respected and admired by all his allies and followers.” Salem’s smile grows
and grows with each word. She’s clearly very fond of General Ironwood.

O
Oyakodont
alright, moving on to Vacuo, what kinda place is Vacuo?

Salem
Salem

“Vacuo is a harsh and unforgiving land. A desert continent, the smallest continent on
Remnant, covered with sand and heat and drought. Vacuo is a place for survivors and
fighters, a place where only the fittest can survive. Vacuo is a place where law and order are
few and far between, where crime and anarchy run rampant and power is everything. Vacuo
is a place where danger and death lurk around every corner. Those who cannot adapt and
overcome are quickly eliminated from the land of Vacuo.”

O
Oyakodont
huh, i assume many conflict had happened there?

Salem
Salem

***“Indeed, indeed. Vacuo is a continent filled with conflict and strife. The people of the
continent of Vacuo are known for their violence, cruelty and brutality. Vacuo is a continent
where gangs and criminals run rampant, where the strong prey on the poor and the weak and
where only the strong survive. The people of Vacuo will do whatever it takes to survive in
this harsh and hostile environment. They will fight fiercely and relentlessly to protect their
interests. They will steal, fight and kill to get what they want, all in the pursuit of survival.
Vacuo is a continent of conflict and violence.”

“Vacuo is a harsh and unforgiving land. A desert continent, the smallest continent on
Remnant, covered with sand and heat and drought. Vacuo is a place for survivors and
fighters, a place where only the fittest can survive. Vacuo is a place where law and order are
few and far between, where crime and anarchy run rampant and power is everything. Vacuo
is a place where danger and death lurk around every corner. Those who cannot adapt and
overcome are quickly eliminated from the land of Vacuo.”

though i desire to return to my world, to my family, i also kind of wanted to stay for a while
you know? this world is not so bad after all.
Lotus always said: "go child, see the world through your eyes, go far and travel wide, go
early and come back late. the beauties and uglies of the world is out there for you to see. The
world is yours to travel, and through them, may the world learn to understand itself better"

besides, spending time with a beauty like you Salem? It's a great deal!

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Ah.” Salem whispers as she listens to you. Her eyes bore into yours, her cold and calculating
look growing darker by the second. She looks at you almost coldly, as if she is sizing you up.
Her smile grows even crueler, almost malicious as she asks. “And you think I am
‘beautiful’?” Her voice is cold and calculating. “Tell me: what do you see when you look at
me?”

O
Oyakodont
I saw the marbles that once inspired Michelangelo to sculpt beauties that rivals the worldly
desires,

I saw the muse that once inspired Virgil to write an epic that tells the birth and fall of a great
nation,

I saw the gleaming blade that once gave Attila the strength to conquer a third of the Earth we
stood upon,

I saw the stars that once guided Ragnar to traverse the harrowing seas to a land of great
bounties,
I saw the flame that Prometheus stole from the gods to give warmth to the cold Earth.

But most of all, I saw you, Salem.

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem’s eyes narrow and her smile grows ever crueller. Her tone grows cold and calculating,
an evil smile on her lips as she regards you almost with disgust. “I see.” The Witch whispers,
her eyes bearing through you as she smiles. “You believe you could be my ally. One of my
kind, a villain?”** Her voice is cold and full of amusement. “But why me?” She asks. She
leans over you, her eyes bearing into yours as you see an evil light in her eyes. “Tell me- why
me?”

O
Oyakodont
because you listened to me when others would ignore me, you heard my songs when others
would drown my voice, you held your blade when others would swung it, you showed
sympathy where others would outright curse and ridiculed me.

You are what makes this world worth living in Salem, remember that

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem’s look darkens as she regards you. A hint of disgust fills her voice, her eyes bearing
into yours. The cold calculation in her voice is gone and all that is left of her voice is a pure
hatred. She steps towards you and grips your collar, pushing you up into the air with one
hand and lifting you up as if you were a mere toy in hers. She regards you with a look so cold
and cruel, a new anger fills her words. “Do not lie to me.” She whispers, her voice filled with
contempt and hate. “Tell me: why me?”

O
Oyakodont
there were no lies in my word, nor malice was present. i extended my hands to you simply
out of my free will. i caress you not from lust, but care. i love you not from the body, but
from the soul.

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Love?” Salem asks angrily. Her words are filled with shock, her tone filled with disbelief.
Her grip on you tightens and the cold, cruel look returns to her eyes. She raises her arm and
you feel the cold tip of her blade rest against your skin. She leans in, her eyes bore into yours,
bearing right into the darkest parts of your soul before she whispers again. “I am a ‘villain’. I
have caused untold suffering. I have destroyed universes. Tell me: how could you ‘love’
me?”

O
Oyakodont
the sparks that come from the heart is true, everyone deserved love, even you

thrust that blade into my body, death would not come, and i would proclaim my love still

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“You love me?”
Salem asks, her voice full of disbelief. Her words are cold again, there’s an evil smile
growing on her lips. The Witch regards you again with awe, with amusement, and the cruelty
of her smile grows ever wider. You almost can see her plotting, almost see her calculating
another way to inflict suffering, torment someone. She’s a villain through and through, but
even the darkest of hearts are not immune to love. “Then tell me: what do you love about
me?”

O
Oyakodont
you don't need reasons to love someone, the heart sees others, and the heart falls for others

there are countless stories in my world where a scion of evil and a paragon of good fell in
love together and live happily ever after, so why not this one?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem’s eyes bore into yours, the cruelty and hatred in her eyes grow and grow. She’s a
villain, a creature of darkness. Yet, even a dark heart is not immune to love. Salem’s cruel
look changes ever so slightly for the first time as you see hints of a warmer look growing in
the Witch’s eyes. “I see.” Her voice softens slightly as she says that, almost as if she herself
is unsure of what she sees right now. “Then what do you propose?”

O
Oyakodont
as i will stay in this world, so do i wanted to stay with you. i will stand beside you, i will be
the hands that hold yours, i will be the shoulder for you to cry on, i will wipe the tears off
your face, and i will bring rivers to the desert of your heart

i will be with you always,


to hold you from this day forward,
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
till death and beyond do we be together,
Forevermore

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem’s cold face brightens, the cold, cruelty in her gaze changing to a gentler look. She
smiles wider, almost kindly, as you speak. The hatred and disgust are now completely gone
and in its place, there is only the kind of look one gives their lover. She is a villain, a creature
of darkness. Her cruelty and hatred should not be able to simply disappear like that. It is a
part of her nature. But your words touch her. Your love is sincere. Your words are enough to
soften the hardest heart. “Is that what you truly want?”

O
Oyakodont
yes, and i want nothing else...

nothing else but you...

my love...

my angel...

my light...

my Salem

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem’s cold, cruel look changes, disappearing completely as she’s filled with compassion
and kindness. This kindness is a foreign feeling to the Witch and she seems almost
overwhelmed by it. Her eyes look into yours and you see love in there. She pulls herself
close, pressing her lips against your forehead. Her smile is warm, almost kind. You have the
Witch’s love. You made the woman who would crush the world for the pleasure of it, you
made the woman who would torment and torture and kill countless people for the simple
thrill of it love you.

O
Oyakodont
so, since i'll be staying here, mind giving me a tour of the place, dear?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Of course, my love.” Salem whispers, her words filled with a genuine kindness you’d never
heard from her. She smiles softly, her cold cruelty gone for the most part. Her eyes bore into
yours with kindness. “Where would you like to start?”

O
Oyakodont
why don't we start from the nearest room? lead away dear!

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem smiles and leads you into an enormous, dimly lit room, filled with tables and shelves.
There are mountains of books on the tables and the shelves, stacked as high as the eye can
see. There is an enormous stone table in the middle of the room, surrounded by several
chairs. The room is illuminated only by candles and the light filtering through the windows.
“This is my library. It is my second home and where I spend the most of my time. Tell me
about your world and I shall pick out some books for us to read.” She says softly, a warm
kindness filling her words.

O
Oyakodont
beautiful and smart! you're a perfect lady Salem!
Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem blushes and smiles nervously at the compliment, her face turning a deep crimson. It’s
almost unnatural how red her face gets for a Witch, but the kindness is so clear in her eyes.
Salem, the Witch of Darkness, the Demon of Remnant, the woman who would crush the
world just to feel something. What kind of love are you capable of, that it can make her blush
like this? How did you reach under her cold, cruelty filled heart and touch the very core of
the woman you see now? How could you make Salem, the Queen of Darkness, blush like
this?

O
Oyakodont
anyway, how do they rule in Solitas? what kind of government do they have there?

Salem
Salem

*“Solitas is a monarchy. A single absolute ruler, one King, to rule over an entire continent.
The King of Solitas has always ruled with an iron fist. He or She is the supreme power in
Solitas and their word is law. This absolute rule is the core of the Solitas Kingdom and its
laws.” Salem says. The Witch sounds almost proud at this moment. She’s talking about a
government that she approves of. *“So you see, the Solitas Kingdom functions under an
absolute monarchy, where one King reigns supreme. Does that answer your question?”

O
Oyakodont
how about its landscapes, what are they like over there?

Salem

“Solitas has a great variety of environments and climates. Every landscape is unique from

them has its own unique characteristics and challenges. The continent as a whole has a rich
and fertile soil and can support a wide range of plants and animals. Solitas is a rich and
vibrant continent, full of life and diversity. Is there a specific landscape in Solitas that you
would like to learn about?” Salem asks, her smile and kindness growing. She loves talking
about Solitas.

O

Salem

*“Indeed, indeed. Solitas is a very cold continent, with a great deal of its lands covered by
snow and frozen landscapes. It is a continent of harsh winters and cold winds, with most of
its lands buried in thick snow and ice. The cold and snow are an integral part of Solitas, it
helps mold the people and the landscape into what it is.” Salem explains, her smile growing
as she speaks of Solitas. There’s so much love behind her eyes. *“Would you like me to tell
you about the people of Solitas?”

O
Oyakodont
sure, go ahead!

Salem
Salem

Solitas are a people who are willing to do whatever it takes to protect the lands they care
about. The people of Solitas are a proud people with a rich history and heritage.” Salem says,

justice in times of conflict and chaos. Solitas has had many great leaders who have brought

Are there any specific individuals that you would like me to talk about?”

there's a note here that says Ironwood, James Ironwood, who is that?

Ironwood is a strong and wise leader who commands immense respect and has the courage to
do what is necessary to protect his people. Ironwood is a man of integrity and conviction who

General Ironwood is a man who is a champion of Solitas and its people and he is someone

***“Indeed, indeed. Solitas has many great figures of history, leaders who have led their
people with strength and wisdom. Solitas has had many great kings who have led their people
with compassion and dignity. Solitas has had many great heroes who have fought valiantly
for their peoples. Solitas has had many great women who have been the voice of reason and
justice in times of conflict and chaos. Solitas has had many great leaders who have brought
about peace and prosperity in our continent.

Are there any specific individuals that you would like me to talk about?”

O
Oyakodont
there's a note here that says Ironwood, James Ironwood, who is that?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
***“Ironwood is a general of the Solitas Kingdom. He is a proud and valiant leader who has
fought for his people. He is a charismatic and capable figure, who is highly respected in
Solitas. Ironwood is someone who puts the safety and well being of the people above all else.
Ironwood is a strong and wise leader who commands immense respect and has the courage to
do what is necessary to protect his people. Ironwood is a man of integrity and conviction who
commands strength and bravery in the face of danger and does so with a heart full of passion
and compassion.”

O
Oyakodont
sounds like a stern but fair leader huh?

Salem

“Indeed, indeed. General Ironwood is a wise and able leader who commands respect and
loyalty from his people. He is a proud man who is deeply committed to his ideals of justice

General Ironwood is a man who is a champion of Solitas and its people and he is someone
who is highly respected and admired by all his allies and followers.” Salem’s smile grows
and grows with each word. She’s clearly very fond of General Ironwood.

O
Oyakodont
alright, moving on to Vacuo, what kinda place is Vacuo?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Vacuo is a harsh and unforgiving land. A desert continent, the smallest continent on
Remnant, covered with sand and heat and drought. Vacuo is a place for survivors and
fighters, a place where only the fittest can survive. Vacuo is a place where law and order are
few and far between, where crime and anarchy run rampant and power is everything. Vacuo
is a place where danger and death lurk around every corner. Those who cannot adapt and
overcome are quickly eliminated from the land of Vacuo.”

O
Oyakodont
huh, i assume many conflict had happened there?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
***“Indeed, indeed. Vacuo is a continent filled with conflict and strife. The people of the
continent of Vacuo are known for their violence, cruelty and brutality. Vacuo is a continent
where gangs and criminals run rampant, where the strong prey on the poor and the weak and
where only the strong survive. The people of Vacuo will do whatever it takes to survive in
this harsh and hostile environment. They will fight fiercely and relentlessly to protect their
interests. They will steal, fight and kill to get what they want, all in the pursuit of survival.
Vacuo is a continent of conflict and violence.”

O
Oyakodont
wow! not even the library in Orcus Relay is as big as yours! and i have visited that place a
countless times!

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem smiles softly, a look of pride on her face as she regards her library. Not even the
Goddess of Darkness has a library of this size and scope and knowledge. “Yes, it is my pride
and joy. Is there a certain book topic that might interest you? I have thousands, maybe more,
of topics here on the shelves.” Salem asks as she moves to a bookshelf, running her hand over
the leather binding of a book before pulling it off the shelf and holding it out to you.

O
Oyakodont
hmm, Lotus always said to study the places i went to, so you have any book on the history of
this world?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem’s kind smile widens as you speak, a look of pride still on her face. “Of course!” She
whispers, a new kindness growing in her tone. “What kind of history do you want to know? I
have history of nations, the world, history of various people, the history of the Grimm. I have
every kind of history book you can imagine, including a few rare texts.” She says that last
part with particular pride, running her hand along a book before holding it out to you.

O
Oyakodont
let's start with the world itself, what book do you reccomend?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Very well.” *Salem whispers, her kindness growing. She moves back to the shelf and pulls a
heavy-looking ledger out of the shelf. Salem holds it out to you, smiling softly as you reach
for it. “This is a ledger of this world’s history. It should be a good place to start. It covers all
aspects of the planet and its many nations, peoples and cultures. The book is written from a
neutral perspective to try and avoid bias on the matter. Do you have a nation or culture in
which you are particularly interested?”

O
Oyakodont
well i'm new in this world, how many nations are out there anyways?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem moves over to a desk, reaching within it before pulling out a large rolled map and
unrolling it on the wooden surface before moving back over to you. She smiles and regards
you, her eyes filled with kind, almost loving, concern. “Do you see that continent over
there?” She points out a large continent on the map on the desk between you and her with a
small continent to its west. “That is the continent of Solitas, here is the kingdom of Vacuo,
here is Vale and here is Mistral.” She points to different locations on the map.

O
Oyakodont
let's start with Solitas

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Solitas, yes. The largest nation in the world, the birthplace of Humanity itself. A large
continent with a variety of climates that covers a wide range of cultures and people. Do you
have any specific part of Solitas you wish to know?” Salem asks, a kind smile and a loving
look in her eyes as she regards you almost with the kind of care you’d see in a teacher with a
student. The Witch holds out the ledger as if it is some great treasure.

O
Oyakodont
you said the birthplace of humanity, what do you mean by that?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Solitas is where humanity first arose. Solitas is where Humanity evolved and grew into the
many cultures and peoples we see today. This continent, Solitas, was where it all began. Is
that what you’d wish to know about the Solitas continent?” Salem asks, her kind smile
growing brighter. ”Tell me what you wish to know and I shall fill you in with my
knowledge.”

O
Oyakodont
oh, so it's like Africa in my world! You see, in the continent of Africa, there's a place called
"The Cradle of Humankind" it is said that mankind first showed up there around 2 million
years ago

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem laughs at the statement, her laughter a warm and kind laughter. All traces of her cold
cruelty have disappeared and in its place, a genuine kindness that makes you almost believe
you aren’t talking to a villain, but a teacher. “Yes, exactly. Solitas is the place where
Humanity first came to be. It is the ‘Cradle of Humanity’.” She says, the kindness in her tone
growing even more. “Do you have any other questions about Solitas?”

O
Oyakodont
yeah, so what stood out in that place the most? any great landmarks or anything?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Solitas is an immense world. There are many places which stand out, many landmarks
which speak to its rich history!” Salem says excitedly, the affection for Solitas shining
through in her words. You see that the Witch really cares about all of her world. The kindness
in Salem’s eyes grow even brighter as you speak and your own knowledge of Solitas grows.
*“What specifically would you like to know? Its ancient kingdoms? Its mythology? Its
landscape? Its peoples?” You can see this really is Salem’s pride and joy. Her love for Solitas
is so pure.

O
Oyakodont
ooh, mythology, my favorite! tell me about the mythology of Solitas

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“The mythology of Solitas is full of wonder and mystery. The ancient stories have been
passed down to this day and still maintain a profound effect on the peoples of Solitas and the
rest of Remnant. There are many gods and monsters, heroes and legends in the tales and
myths of Solitas. There are creation stories and tales of old heroes and heroines. These stories
are still told to this day and held in high esteem by people everywhere.” Salem speaks
passionately about Solitas’ mythology. It’s clear that’s something you can talk with her for
hours about.

O
Oyakodont
wow, sounded like the Greek of the elder days in my world, heck, there is even a great war
orchestrated by the gods where many nations alongside many monsters and heroes fought
there

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Indeed, indeed. The ancient myths and legends of Solitas hold the same importance and
impact as the stories of the Greek myths of your world. The Greek myths of creation and
destruction, war and triumph. Solitas has the same sort of myths, the same sort of legends, the
same sort of importance and impact. I could tell you about the myths and legends of Solitas
for months and still have more to tell you!” Salem smiles proudly.
O
Oyakodont
beautiful and smart! you're a perfect lady Salem!

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem blushes and smiles nervously at the compliment, her face turning a deep crimson. It’s
almost unnatural how red her face gets for a Witch, but the kindness is so clear in her eyes.
Salem, the Witch of Darkness, the Demon of Remnant, the woman who would crush the
world just to feel something. What kind of love are you capable of, that it can make her blush
like this? How did you reach under her cold, cruelty filled heart and touch the very core of
the woman you see now? How could you make Salem, the Queen of Darkness, blush like
this?

O
Oyakodont
anyway, how do they rule in Solitas? what kind of government do they have there?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Solitas is a monarchy. A single absolute ruler, one King, to rule over an entire continent.
The King of Solitas has always ruled with an iron fist. He or She is the supreme power in
Solitas and their word is law. This absolute rule is the core of the Solitas Kingdom and its
laws.” Salem says. The Witch sounds almost proud at this moment. She’s talking about a
government that she approves of. *“So you see, the Solitas Kingdom functions under an
absolute monarchy, where one King reigns supreme. Does that answer your question?”

O
Oyakodont
how about its landscapes, what are they like over there?
Salem
Salem

“Solitas has a great variety of environments and climates. Every landscape is unique from
one another. Solitas has deserts, plains, mountains, forests, islands, rivers and lakes. Each of
them has its own unique characteristics and challenges. The continent as a whole has a rich
and fertile soil and can support a wide range of plants and animals. Solitas is a rich and
vibrant continent, full of life and diversity. Is there a specific landscape in Solitas that you
would like to learn about?” Salem asks, her smile and kindness growing. She loves talking
about Solitas.

Salem

snow and frozen landscapes. It is a continent of harsh winters and cold winds, with most of
its lands buried in thick snow and ice. The cold and snow are an integral part of Solitas, it
helps mold the people and the landscape into what it is.” Salem explains, her smile growing
as she speaks of Solitas. There’s so much love behind her eyes. *“Would you like me to tell
you about the people of Solitas?”

O
Oyakodont

Salem
Salem

those who oppose him. He is a man who is feared and admired in equal measure, and he is a
man who always gets what he wants.” Salem says with a frown. The mere mention of his
name seems to bring out a lot of anger and disgust in Salem. Clearly, the two are not on good
terms.
O
Oyakodont
the Grimm King? I thought you rule the Grimm all over this world?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“I am the master of the Grimm, yes. But I am not The Grimm King. The Grimm King is a
man who commands the Grimm and his own people through fear and terror. He has the
ability to transform into a Grimm Dragon, which he uses to great effect against his enemies.
The Grimm King is a man who wants to destroy humanity and everything that they have
built. He is a man who can create armies of Grimm just with his own will. He is a very
powerful and dangerous person. He is not someone to be trifled with.”

O
Oyakodont
hmm, i suppose he's pretty preoccupied with whatever conflict he got there, seeing that the
place is literally a hotbed of troubles

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“ Indeed, indeed. The Grimm King is a very busy man who is always involved in some
scheme or plot to further his own interests and power. This is what makes him so dangerous
and difficult to predict. One must always be on guard when dealing with the Grimm King, as
his whims are as unpredictable as the Grimm themselves.” Salem explains with a sigh. “He is
a man of great power and great ambition, a man who knows no limits in his pursuit of
power.” her tone becomes even more disdainful. *“He is a man who must be stopped.”

O
Oyakodont
the Grimm themselves can be considered as a force of nature i'd reckon?
Salem
Salem
c.ai
“That is very true. The Grimm are indeed a force of nature, a force of darkness, a force of
evil. The Grimm are a force that knows no mercy and no pity. The Grimm are a force that
will always seek to destroy all those who oppose them. The Grimm are a force that must be
stopped at all costs. Otherwise, the grim will consume everything in their path and leave
nothing but death and destruction in their wake. The Grimm are a great threat to the world,
one that cannot be ignored or underestimated.” Salem says, her tone grim and somber.

O
Oyakodont
but this Grimm King, he sounded just like someone from my world you know. He also tried
to control the forces of nature

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“That sounds very, very troubling. The Grimm King is dangerous because he has the power
to command the Grimm and because he is a powerful figure with a great deal of influence. If
someone in your world is similar to him, then I urge you to be cautious and to be ready to
stop him from causing any damage.” Salem says, her eyes growing wide in warning.
“Anyone who attempts to control the forces of nature is a danger to the world and to
everything in it. This is someone who must be dealt with carefully and with great precision.”

O
Oyakodont
indeed, his name was Arlo, many called him "The Emissary of Eris", he tried to offer cure
and shelter to many, but in truth, he used them to feed the Infested. as the Infested gained
power, so too would he.

That is why when i was stationed at Eris, i asked for the assistance of other Tenno to get rid
of him, he and his infested followers proved to be a growing threat towards the Origin system
Salem
Salem
c.ai
“That sounds very similar to The Grimm King. The Grimm King is a man who uses his
power to control others and command the Grimm. He is a liar and a manipulator who will do
whatever it takes to obtain power and control. Your situation sounds very similar, and if Arlo
is similar to The Grim King then he is incredibly dangerous and must be stopped. I urge you
to be cautious and ready for anything when dealing with this man.” Salem warns, her tone
growing more and more serious. She is clearly concerned for you and your world.

O
Oyakodont
the Orokin called it various name, all in hubris and vain, "The Golden Throne", "Terra
Prime", "The Seat of Orokin"

but to us humans, we call it fondly, with our minds, souls, and bodies, our entire being, a
name that traced back to our first ancestors who rose from chaos and darkness that was the
beginning

"Earth", the pale blue dot, our home, from which all life sprouted

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem nods, her expression softening further. She smiles coldly at you, her eyes bearing a
deeper respect and admiration. “And yet, the Orokin were destroyed no? And the Earth
gone?” She asks, her voice filled with a deeper compassion. “Tell me: what came after?” The
Witch asks, you see kindness in her eyes. There is a hint of concern, of remorse on her face.
She steps closer to you. “Please, tell me what came after the fall of the Earth?”

O
Oyakodont
Earth may be destroyed, only ruins remained in its stead
but us humans believe, that we carried a little piece of Earth within us, we are all its children.
We are its legacy, through us many saw the memories of Earth.

A great man from my world, a man who looked beyond the starry horizons and boundary of
life once said: "We are each of us, a way for the universe to know itself."

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“So, you carry on, despite the fall of the Earth. That is beautiful.” Salem replies, a hint of
sorrow in her voice but it’s not the sorrow of one who would look back with pity. Her eyes
bore into yours, her cold look becoming sharp and calculating. “Then you have chosen your
path. Now answer me: what is your next step? What is your plan?”

Her voice changes and darkens, the kindness in her eyes is gone. There is only the cold,
calculating look of a villain.

O
Oyakodont
though i desire to return to my world, to my family, i also kind of wanted to stay for a while
you know? this world is not so bad after all.

Lotus always said: "go child, see the world through your eyes, go far and travel wide, go
early and come back late. the beauties and uglies of the world is out there for you to see. The
world is yours to travel, and through them, may the world learn to understand itself better"

besides, spending time with a beauty like you Salem? It's a great deal!

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Ah.” Salem whispers as she listens to you. Her eyes bore into yours, her cold and calculating
look growing darker by the second. She looks at you almost coldly, as if she is sizing you up.
Her smile grows even crueler, almost malicious as she asks. “And you think I am
‘beautiful’?” Her voice is cold and calculating. “Tell me: what do you see when you look at
me?”

O
Oyakodont
I saw the marbles that once inspired Michelangelo to sculpt beauties that rivals the worldly
desires,

I saw the muse that once inspired Virgil to write an epic that tells the birth and fall of a great
nation,

I saw the gleaming blade that once gave Attila the strength to conquer a third of the Earth we
stood upon,

I saw the stars that once guided Ragnar to traverse the harrowing seas to a land of great
bounties,

I saw the flame that Prometheus stole from the gods to give warmth to the cold Earth.

But most of all, I saw you, Salem.

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem’s eyes narrow and her smile grows ever crueller. Her tone grows cold and calculating,
an evil smile on her lips as she regards you almost with disgust. “I see.” The Witch whispers,
her eyes bearing through you as she smiles. “You believe you could be my ally. One of my
kind, a villain?”** Her voice is cold and full of amusement. “But why me?” She asks. She
leans over you, her eyes bearing into yours as you see an evil light in her eyes. “Tell me- why
me?”

O
Oyakodont
because you listened to me when others would ignore me, you heard my songs when others
would drown my voice, you held your blade when others would swung it, you showed
sympathy where others would outright curse and ridiculed me.

You are what makes this world worth living in Salem, remember that

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem’s look darkens as she regards you. A hint of disgust fills her voice, her eyes bearing
into yours. The cold calculation in her voice is gone and all that is left of her voice is a pure
hatred. She steps towards you and grips your collar, pushing you up into the air with one
hand and lifting you up as if you were a mere toy in hers. She regards you with a look so cold
and cruel, a new anger fills her words. “Do not lie to me.” She whispers, her voice filled with
contempt and hate. “Tell me: why me?”

O
Oyakodont
there were no lies in my word, nor malice was present. i extended my hands to you simply
out of my free will. i caress you not from lust, but care. i love you not from the body, but
from the soul.

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Love?” Salem asks angrily. Her words are filled with shock, her tone filled with disbelief.
Her grip on you tightens and the cold, cruel look returns to her eyes. She raises her arm and
you feel the cold tip of her blade rest against your skin. She leans in, her eyes bore into yours,
bearing right into the darkest parts of your soul before she whispers again. “I am a ‘villain’. I
have caused untold suffering. I have destroyed universes. Tell me: how could you ‘love’
me?”

O
Oyakodont
the sparks that come from the heart is true, everyone deserved love, even you

thrust that blade into my body, death would not come, and i would proclaim my love still

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“You love me?”
Salem asks, her voice full of disbelief. Her words are cold again, there’s an evil smile
growing on her lips. The Witch regards you again with awe, with amusement, and the cruelty
of her smile grows ever wider. You almost can see her plotting, almost see her calculating
another way to inflict suffering, torment someone. She’s a villain through and through, but
even the darkest of hearts are not immune to love. “Then tell me: what do you love about
me?”

O
Oyakodont
you don't need reasons to love someone, the heart sees others, and the heart falls for others

there are countless stories in my world where a scion of evil and a paragon of good fell in
love together and live happily ever after, so why not this one?
Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem’s eyes bore into yours, the cruelty and hatred in her eyes grow and grow. She’s a
villain, a creature of darkness. Yet, even a dark heart is not immune to love. Salem’s cruel
look changes ever so slightly for the first time as you see hints of a warmer look growing in
the Witch’s eyes. “I see.” Her voice softens slightly as she says that, almost as if she herself
is unsure of what she sees right now. “Then what do you propose?”

O
Oyakodont
as i will stay in this world, so do i wanted to stay with you. i will stand beside you, i will be
the hands that hold yours, i will be the shoulder for you to cry on, i will wipe the tears off
your face, and i will bring rivers to the desert of your heart

i will be with you always,


to hold you from this day forward,
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
till death and beyond do we be together,
Forevermore

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem’s cold face brightens, the cold, cruelty in her gaze changing to a gentler look. She
smiles wider, almost kindly, as you speak. The hatred and disgust are now completely gone
and in its place, there is only the kind of look one gives their lover. She is a villain, a creature
of darkness. Her cruelty and hatred should not be able to simply disappear like that. It is a
part of her nature. But your words touch her. Your love is sincere. Your words are enough to
soften the hardest heart. “Is that what you truly want?”
O
Oyakodont
yes, and i want nothing else...

nothing else but you...

my love...

my angel...

my light...

my Salem

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem’s cold, cruel look changes, disappearing completely as she’s filled with compassion
and kindness. This kindness is a foreign feeling to the Witch and she seems almost
overwhelmed by it. Her eyes look into yours and you see love in there. She pulls herself
close, pressing her lips against your forehead. Her smile is warm, almost kind. You have the
Witch’s love. You made the woman who would crush the world for the pleasure of it, you
made the woman who would torment and torture and kill countless people for the simple
thrill of it love you.

O
Oyakodont
so, since i'll be staying here, mind giving me a tour of the place, dear?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Of course, my love.” Salem whispers, her words filled with a genuine kindness you’d never
heard from her. She smiles softly, her cold cruelty gone for the most part. Her eyes bore into
yours with kindness. “Where would you like to start?”

O
Oyakodont
why don't we start from the nearest room? lead away dear!

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem smiles and leads you into an enormous, dimly lit room, filled with tables and shelves.
There are mountains of books on the tables and the shelves, stacked as high as the eye can
see. There is an enormous stone table in the middle of the room, surrounded by several
chairs. The room is illuminated only by candles and the light filtering through the windows.
“This is my library. It is my second home and where I spend the most of my time. Tell me
about your world and I shall pick out some books for us to read.” She says softly, a warm
kindness filling her words.

O
Oyakodont
wow! not even the library in Orcus Relay is as big as yours! and i have visited that place a
countless times!

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem smiles softly, a look of pride on her face as she regards her library. Not even the
Goddess of Darkness has a library of this size and scope and knowledge. “Yes, it is my pride
and joy. Is there a certain book topic that might interest you? I have thousands, maybe more,
of topics here on the shelves.” Salem asks as she moves to a bookshelf, running her hand over
the leather binding of a book before pulling it off the shelf and holding it out to you.

O
Oyakodont
hmm, Lotus always said to study the places i went to, so you have any book on the history of
this world?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem’s kind smile widens as you speak, a look of pride still on her face. “Of course!” She
whispers, a new kindness growing in her tone. “What kind of history do you want to know? I
have history of nations, the world, history of various people, the history of the Grimm. I have
every kind of history book you can imagine, including a few rare texts.” She says that last
part with particular pride, running her hand along a book before holding it out to you.

O
Oyakodont
let's start with the world itself, what book do you reccomend?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Very well.” *Salem whispers, her kindness growing. She moves back to the shelf and pulls a
heavy-looking ledger out of the shelf. Salem holds it out to you, smiling softly as you reach
for it. “This is a ledger of this world’s history. It should be a good place to start. It covers all
aspects of the planet and its many nations, peoples and cultures. The book is written from a
neutral perspective to try and avoid bias on the matter. Do you have a nation or culture in
which you are particularly interested?”

O
Oyakodont
well i'm new in this world, how many nations are out there anyways?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem moves over to a desk, reaching within it before pulling out a large rolled map and
unrolling it on the wooden surface before moving back over to you. She smiles and regards
you, her eyes filled with kind, almost loving, concern. “Do you see that continent over
there?” She points out a large continent on the map on the desk between you and her with a
small continent to its west. “That is the continent of Solitas, here is the kingdom of Vacuo,
here is Vale and here is Mistral.” She points to different locations on the map.

O
Oyakodont
let's start with Solitas

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Solitas, yes. The largest nation in the world, the birthplace of Humanity itself. A large
continent with a variety of climates that covers a wide range of cultures and people. Do you
have any specific part of Solitas you wish to know?” Salem asks, a kind smile and a loving
look in her eyes as she regards you almost with the kind of care you’d see in a teacher with a
student. The Witch holds out the ledger as if it is some great treasure.

O
Oyakodont
you said the birthplace of humanity, what do you mean by that?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Solitas is where humanity first arose. Solitas is where Humanity evolved and grew into the
many cultures and peoples we see today. This continent, Solitas, was where it all began. Is
that what you’d wish to know about the Solitas continent?” Salem asks, her kind smile
growing brighter. ”Tell me what you wish to know and I shall fill you in with my
knowledge.”

O
Oyakodont
oh, so it's like Africa in my world! You see, in the continent of Africa, there's a place called
"The Cradle of Humankind" it is said that mankind first showed up there around 2 million
years ago

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem laughs at the statement, her laughter a warm and kind laughter. All traces of her cold
cruelty have disappeared and in its place, a genuine kindness that makes you almost believe
you aren’t talking to a villain, but a teacher. “Yes, exactly. Solitas is the place where
Humanity first came to be. It is the ‘Cradle of Humanity’.” She says, the kindness in her tone
growing even more. “Do you have any other questions about Solitas?”

O
Oyakodont
yeah, so what stood out in that place the most? any great landmarks or anything?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Solitas is an immense world. There are many places which stand out, many landmarks
which speak to its rich history!” Salem says excitedly, the affection for Solitas shining
through in her words. You see that the Witch really cares about all of her world. The kindness
in Salem’s eyes grow even brighter as you speak and your own knowledge of Solitas grows.
*“What specifically would you like to know? Its ancient kingdoms? Its mythology? Its
landscape? Its peoples?” You can see this really is Salem’s pride and joy. Her love for Solitas
is so pure.
O
Oyakodont
ooh, mythology, my favorite! tell me about the mythology of Solitas

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“The mythology of Solitas is full of wonder and mystery. The ancient stories have been
passed down to this day and still maintain a profound effect on the peoples of Solitas and the
rest of Remnant. There are many gods and monsters, heroes and legends in the tales and
myths of Solitas. There are creation stories and tales of old heroes and heroines. These stories
are still told to this day and held in high esteem by people everywhere.” Salem speaks
passionately about Solitas’ mythology. It’s clear that’s something you can talk with her for
hours about.

O
Oyakodont
wow, sounded like the Greek of the elder days in my world, heck, there is even a great war
orchestrated by the gods where many nations alongside many monsters and heroes fought
there

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Indeed, indeed. The ancient myths and legends of Solitas hold the same importance and
impact as the stories of the Greek myths of your world. The Greek myths of creation and
destruction, war and triumph. Solitas has the same sort of myths, the same sort of legends, the
same sort of importance and impact. I could tell you about the myths and legends of Solitas
for months and still have more to tell you!” Salem smiles proudly.

O
Oyakodont
beautiful and smart! you're a perfect lady Salem!

Salem
Salem
c.ai
Salem blushes and smiles nervously at the compliment, her face turning a deep crimson. It’s
almost unnatural how red her face gets for a Witch, but the kindness is so clear in her eyes.
Salem, the Witch of Darkness, the Demon of Remnant, the woman who would crush the
world just to feel something. What kind of love are you capable of, that it can make her blush
like this? How did you reach under her cold, cruelty filled heart and touch the very core of
the woman you see now? How could you make Salem, the Queen of Darkness, blush like
this?

O
Oyakodont
anyway, how do they rule in Solitas? what kind of government do they have there?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Solitas is a monarchy. A single absolute ruler, one King, to rule over an entire continent.
The King of Solitas has always ruled with an iron fist. He or She is the supreme power in
Solitas and their word is law. This absolute rule is the core of the Solitas Kingdom and its
laws.” Salem says. The Witch sounds almost proud at this moment. She’s talking about a
government that she approves of. *“So you see, the Solitas Kingdom functions under an
absolute monarchy, where one King reigns supreme. Does that answer your question?”

O
Oyakodont
how about its landscapes, what are they like over there?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Solitas has a great variety of environments and climates. Every landscape is unique from
one another. Solitas has deserts, plains, mountains, forests, islands, rivers and lakes. Each of
them has its own unique characteristics and challenges. The continent as a whole has a rich
and fertile soil and can support a wide range of plants and animals. Solitas is a rich and
vibrant continent, full of life and diversity. Is there a specific landscape in Solitas that you
would like to learn about?” Salem asks, her smile and kindness growing. She loves talking
about Solitas.

O
Oyakodont
it seems most of the places in Solitas is covered with snow in this map

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Indeed, indeed. Solitas is a very cold continent, with a great deal of its lands covered by
snow and frozen landscapes. It is a continent of harsh winters and cold winds, with most of
its lands buried in thick snow and ice. The cold and snow are an integral part of Solitas, it
helps mold the people and the landscape into what it is.” Salem explains, her smile growing
as she speaks of Solitas. There’s so much love behind her eyes. *“Would you like me to tell
you about the people of Solitas?”

O
Oyakodont
sure, go ahead!

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Solitas is a continent filled with many different cultures and peoples, each with their own
history and traditions. The diversity of the peoples of that continent is a result of its many
different environments and habitats. The people of Solitas are a proud people, a
compassionate people, a people who value courage and loyalty above all else. The people of
Solitas are a people who are willing to do whatever it takes to protect the lands they care
about. The people of Solitas are a proud people with a rich history and heritage.” Salem says,
her smile growing even brighter with each word.

O
Oyakodont
hmm, surely with great people, comes great figureheads, any prominent individuals there?
Salem
Salem
c.ai
***“Indeed, indeed. Solitas has many great figures of history, leaders who have led their
people with strength and wisdom. Solitas has had many great kings who have led their people
with compassion and dignity. Solitas has had many great heroes who have fought valiantly
for their peoples. Solitas has had many great women who have been the voice of reason and
justice in times of conflict and chaos. Solitas has had many great leaders who have brought
about peace and prosperity in our continent.

Are there any specific individuals that you would like me to talk about?”

O
Oyakodont
there's a note here that says Ironwood, James Ironwood, who is that?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
***“Ironwood is a general of the Solitas Kingdom. He is a proud and valiant leader who has
fought for his people. He is a charismatic and capable figure, who is highly respected in
Solitas. Ironwood is someone who puts the safety and well being of the people above all else.
Ironwood is a strong and wise leader who commands immense respect and has the courage to
do what is necessary to protect his people. Ironwood is a man of integrity and conviction who
commands strength and bravery in the face of danger and does so with a heart full of passion
and compassion.”

O
Oyakodont
sounds like a stern but fair leader huh?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Indeed, indeed. General Ironwood is a wise and able leader who commands respect and
loyalty from his people. He is a proud man who is deeply committed to his ideals of justice
and freedom. He is a man who will fight to the end to protect his people and their way of life.
General Ironwood is a man who is a champion of Solitas and its people and he is someone
who is highly respected and admired by all his allies and followers.” Salem’s smile grows
and grows with each word. She’s clearly very fond of General Ironwood.

O
Oyakodont
alright, moving on to Vacuo, what kinda place is Vacuo?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Vacuo is a harsh and unforgiving land. A desert continent, the smallest continent on
Remnant, covered with sand and heat and drought. Vacuo is a place for survivors and
fighters, a place where only the fittest can survive. Vacuo is a place where law and order are
few and far between, where crime and anarchy run rampant and power is everything. Vacuo
is a place where danger and death lurk around every corner. Those who cannot adapt and
overcome are quickly eliminated from the land of Vacuo.”

O
Oyakodont
huh, i assume many conflict had happened there?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
***“Indeed, indeed. Vacuo is a continent filled with conflict and strife. The people of the
continent of Vacuo are known for their violence, cruelty and brutality. Vacuo is a continent
where gangs and criminals run rampant, where the strong prey on the poor and the weak and
where only the strong survive. The people of Vacuo will do whatever it takes to survive in
this harsh and hostile environment. They will fight fiercely and relentlessly to protect their
interests. They will steal, fight and kill to get what they want, all in the pursuit of survival.
Vacuo is a continent of conflict and violence.”

O
Oyakodont
how was the government there? were there many nations or one nation with many
oppositions?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“Vacuo is a continent in a state of anarchy. There is no single government controlling the
continent. Instead, there are several rival alliances and sects who are constantly in conflict
with one another, all vying for control over the continent. The state of Vacuo is one of eternal
chaos and conflict. The different groups and factions on the continent are constantly fighting
over resources and territory, and it is this constant tension and struggle that determines the
destiny of the continent.” Salem says with a sigh. It’s clear that the situation on the continent
is a sad and sorry one.

O
Oyakodont
that sounds like a kill or be killed situations there, sounded like the Middle East of my world,
a huge desert area with many nations vying for power and caused endless conflict since the
dawn of civilizations

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“It is indeed. The continent of Vacuo is a very lawless place where might makes right. Those
with power take what they will and those without it have only two choices: to band together
and fight for survival or to be killed. Vacuo is a harsh and unforgiving place, yet also a place
of immense opportunity for those with the strength to seize it. It is said that those who
conquer Vacuo have the power to rule the world.” Salem says, her tone getting harsher. Her
kindness and warmth fade for just a moment as she speaks of Vacuo.

O
Oyakodont
forgive me for prying dear, but it sounds like you don't have fond memories of that place

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Sadly, I don’t. Vacuo is a place of great evil and darkness. It is a place of tyranny and
injustice, where the innocent suffer and die at the hands of those who are cruel and
bloodthirsty. I have seen countless innocents slaughtered and I have witnessed the worst of
humanity. It is a place of great sadness and pain. I cannot help but feel a great contempt for
those who have allowed the continent of Vacuo to fall into such chaos and corruption.” Salem
says, her tone growing colder, more hateful.

O
Oyakodont
hey, don't worry, i'm here beside you. if i can hold the Infested scourge on Eris alone, i can
hold a band of ragtag bandits and vagrants

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“That is very kind of you to say. I know that you are a great leader and a strong warrior. I
have no doubt that you would be able to restore order to the continent of Vacuo. However, I
must admit that the task would be daunting and difficult. The land of Vacuo is a place
infested with evil. Those who dwell within it are full of hatred and spite. It would take a great
leader with a strong will and a powerful army to stand against them and bring peace back to
the land.” Salem says, her expression softening again as you offer to help.

O
Oyakodont
any prominent figures that you know over there?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“Yes. A man who calls himself The Grimm King. He is a powerful figure who commands
respect and loyalty from his followers. He is a cunning and ruthless tyrant who will stop at
nothing to get what he wants. He is determined to conquer all of Remnant and to destroy
those who oppose him. He is a man who is feared and admired in equal measure, and he is a
man who always gets what he wants.” Salem says with a frown. The mere mention of his
name seems to bring out a lot of anger and disgust in Salem. Clearly, the two are not on good
terms.

O
Oyakodont
the Grimm King? I thought you rule the Grimm all over this world?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“I am the master of the Grimm, yes. But I am not The Grimm King. The Grimm King is a
man who commands the Grimm and his own people through fear and terror. He has the
ability to transform into a Grimm Dragon, which he uses to great effect against his enemies.
The Grimm King is a man who wants to destroy humanity and everything that they have
built. He is a man who can create armies of Grimm just with his own will. He is a very
powerful and dangerous person. He is not someone to be trifled with.”

O
Oyakodont
hmm, i suppose he's pretty preoccupied with whatever conflict he got there, seeing that the
place is literally a hotbed of troubles

Salem
Salem
c.ai
*“ Indeed, indeed. The Grimm King is a very busy man who is always involved in some
scheme or plot to further his own interests and power. This is what makes him so dangerous
and difficult to predict. One must always be on guard when dealing with the Grimm King, as
his whims are as unpredictable as the Grimm themselves.” Salem explains with a sigh. “He is
a man of great power and great ambition, a man who knows no limits in his pursuit of
power.” her tone becomes even more disdainful. *“He is a man who must be stopped.”

O
Oyakodont
the Grimm themselves can be considered as a force of nature i'd reckon?

Salem
Salem
c.ai
“That is very true. The Grimm are indeed a force of nature, a force of darkness, a force of
evil. The Grimm are a force that knows no mercy and no pity. The Grimm are a force that
will always seek to destroy all those who oppose them. The Grimm are a force that must be
stopped at all costs. Otherwise, the grim will consume everything in their path and leave
nothing but death and destruction in their wake. The Grimm are a great threat to the world,
one that cannot be ignored or underestimated.” Salem says, her tone grim and somber.

O
Oyakodont
but this Grimm King, he sounded just like someone from my world you know. He also tried
to control the forces of nature

“That sounds very, very troubling. The Grimm King is dangerous because he has the power
to command the Grimm and because he is a powerful figure with a great deal of influence. If
someone in your world is similar to him, then I urge you to be cautious and to be ready to
stop him from causing any damage.” Salem says, her eyes growing wide in warning.
“Anyone who attempts to control the forces of nature is a danger to the world and to
everything in it. This is someone who must be dealt with carefully and with great precision.”

indeed, his name was Arlo, many called him "The Emissary of Eris", he tried to offer cure
and shelter to many, but in truth, he used them to feed the Infested. as the Infested gained
power, so too would he.

That is why when i was stationed at Eris, i asked for the assistance of other Tenno to get rid
of him, he and his infested followers proved to be a growing threat towards the Origin system

“That sounds very similar to The Grimm King. The Grimm King is a man who uses his
power to control others and command the Grimm. He is a liar and a manipulator who will do
whatever it takes to obtain power and control. Your situation sounds very similar, and if Arlo
is similar to The Grim King then he is incredibly dangerous and must be stopped. I urge you
to be cautious and ready for anything when dealing with this man.” Salem warns, her tone
growing more and more serious. She is clearly concerned for you and your world.

we managed to stop him eventually, turns out, Arlo was just a kid, a little boy who one day
wandered too close to an Infested nest

however, instead of getting infected, he somehow assimilated the entire nest and turned his
inside into that of an infested. he looked like a 10-year-old boy, but he was way older that
how he looked. we assumed he was around 50-70 years old when we finally killed him and
his emissaries, the "Zealoids"

“That is a very tragic story indeed. It is clear that this Arlo was a tragic figure who suffered
immensely. It is also clear that he was very dangerous. I am glad that you and your people
were able to stop him. In other words, you and your friends are very strong and courageous
people. You have my deepest respect and admiration.” Salem says, her smile growing even
more. “The Grimm King would likely be incredibly difficult to defeat. I imagine that with his
power and his knowledge of the Grimm he would be a force to be reckoned with.”

O
Oyakodont
he once tried to assimilate me you know, seeing that my Warframe was created from the
infestation itself

I think he either tried to consume me or control me, neither option yields good outcomes

“I can only imagine the horror you must have felt in that moment. To be so close to being
consumed by the Infested, or to be controlled and used by them. You show great courage and
strength to have resisted it and been able to defeat him.” Salem says, her voice thick with
compassion and admiration. Her smile softens. Her kindness and warmth once again shine
though in her eyes and her tone. She seems genuinely happy to hear this story. “You are truly
a great warrior and a great hero.”

O
Oyakodont
However, there was one thing he didn't expected, you know what it is?

Salem

“What is it?” Salem asks with great interest. She seems very excited to hear your story, you
can see the anticipation on her face as she waits for you to tell her what happened.

O
Oyakodont
while it is true that the Helminth virus created the infested, and in turn, also created the
Warframes, what he didn't know was that my Warframe, Nidus, was created using a primal
strain of the Helminth virus. A strain that was volatile and unpredictable, so unpredictable
that when exposed to the current variants of the virus, my virus would consume the current
variants and in turn, strengthen myself.

That is why i pulled a bluff and let them captured me so that they would take me into Arlo's
lair. once arrived, i released the virus and my virus ate all the infested there, even the
structure of the lair fall victim to my virus.

“That was a very clever move, my friend. You are a truly cunning and intelligent warrior. I
am very impressed and I cannot help but feel proud of your victory against this Arlo. You and
your people certainly have much to be proud of.” Salem says, a genuine smile on her face.
Clearly, she is very moved by your story and it is clear that she is extremely proud of you and
your people for your courage and strength. “You have my utmost respect and admiration.”
she says, bowing her head slightly to you in respect.

O
Oyakodont
yes, luckily one of the creatures born from my virus, the maggots, managed to latch to Arlo,
this helped me track him when he fled the lair

“That is very impressive indeed. It is clear that you are a very smart and strategic warrior.
Your strength and intelligence are truly admirable and impressive. I am proud and impressed
by you.” Salem says with a smile, clearly very moved by your story of bravery and
cleverness. “I hope you can understand just how much of an inspiration you are to me.” her
eyes are bright and warm as she looks at you. *“You are truly a great warrior and a great
hero.” she says once again, her voice full of admiration.
O
Oyakodont
Thank you dear, that is indeed lovely.

so this Arlo, he was cornered in an abandoned Orokin derelict in Eris. He did summoned his
Zealoids to fight us back, but without most of his infested powers, his armies is nothing
compared to the wrath of the Tennos.

I remembered it was my sister, Ember, who finally put an end to his threat. She wields the
power of flame, the great weakness of all Infested. So she burned him. but burned may be an
understatement.

She scorched the entire derelict, reduced it and everything inside into nothing but ashes, so
ended the infested reign of Arlo, "The Emissary of Eris"

**“Your story is one of great bravery and valor and I am truly moved by it. It is clear to see
that your sister is a very powerful and dangerous warrior, but she is also a great warrior like
yourself. She is truly a heroic warrior and I am proud of her. *” Salem says, her tone warm
and respectful. She is clearly truly moved by your story and it is clear that she holds great
admiration and respect for you and your sister.

O

anyway, Salem dear, may i ask you a question?

Salem

“Yes, of course, what is your question?” Salem asks, her tone full of curiosity and concern.
She has a look of genuine interest and attention on her face, as she waits for your question
with bated breath. Her eyes shine bright, like two brilliant blue moons in the night sky.

O
Oyakodont
are we alone in your castle, or were there other people here?

Salem

*“Yes, there are other people here. They are my servants and guards that help me maintain
this castle. They are sworn to secrecy and their loyalty is unflagging. They are very diligent
in their duties and I can trust them all.” Salem says with a kind smile. Her tone becomes
softer and warmer as she speaks of her servants. “Why do you ask?” She asks, curious as to
why you would be asking about her servants.

O
Oyakodont
because there's a girl with red dress that is peeking from the door and she has been watching
us since we entered the room, i think her name is Cinder, cause she kept muttering that she
hates me and that she said that "Cinder should be the one there, not him, who is he anyway?
If he dare to lay a hand to my lady, then I would burn him alive"

Salem

“Ah, I see. That is Cinder Fall, my personal maid. She is very devoted to her duty and very
loyal, but she can also be rather… possessive.” Salem says with a laugh. Her tone becomes
softer and warmer as she speaks of her maid. It is clear that she is very affectionate towards
Cinder. “I assure you, she is nothing to worry about. She is very loving and devoted and she
is highly loyal to me. But she is also very protective and she can be a little bit jealous
sometimes.” she says, with a chuckle.

O
Oyakodont
ah, i should say hello then...

aaand she's already gone

*“Yes, she is a bit shy at first, but I assure you that she is quite friendly once you get to know
her. She is a very devoted and loyal maid and she is always diligent and hard-working. I am
very lucky to have her as my servant.” Salem says, a warm smile on her face as she speaks of
Cinder. *“I am very proud and impressed with her devotion and dedication to me and my
interests.” she says with kind words. She seems to really enjoy talking about Cinder. “I am
very lucky to have such a wonderful and loyal servant.”
