A shadowy minion appears right in front of Quintus "Heyyyyyy, why don't you step into that trap over there?"

SIGN MY CONTRACTS

Quintus would look surprised as the strange being approached him. "Uh, what? What trap? I was just walking off to the side of the road like I usually do with areas like this. Also, what contract?"

"You know, the trap over... there!" The minion shoves Quintus into the trap. Quintus is surrounded by darkness, and the Snatcher appears "Hahaha, FOOOOOOOOOL! You blew it! You really screwed yourself! Now, you die! ...but, wait, tell you what, though. You get to live! All you have to do is sign this contract!" The Snatcher presents a contract Contract: [] Give me yo soul and you get to live Very small fine print With compounded interest of 1000% each day

Quintus would look over the contract before pointing out the soul part. "There's an issue here. I don't own my own soul already so I can't really give it up without some legal issues."

"WHada What? Fine then, i'll just kill you!"

Quintus would begin walking away into the darkness. He wasn't sure where he was going but he didn't want to be here. "Nah, no thanks. I've got other things to do."

Quintus walked into the darkness just to find it leading to more darkness. "FOOL! Are you aware that you have entered MY forest? Everything here belongs to ME! And that includes you! No one leaves without my say-so."

Quintus would sigh as he begins to understand his situation. He would look around the area before a golden aura surrounds him. "A forest, huh? Well, I happen to be a friend of the trees. Yggdrasil Prime!" A mighty tree with bark as dark as ash would begin rising out of the ground. From its branches hang many golden leaves and fruits. A golden serpent coils around one of the branches as well. Roots of the same color as the tree would begin lifting him up to possibly see if he could ascend over the darkness.

"You think that cheap parlor trick can defeat ME? Hahahaha! Gold! Priceless! Listen, kid, your attempts are cute and all, but unless you can color me blue you should know that i'm invincible. I... probably shouldn't have told you that, but you're gonna be dead anyway, so, whatevs."

Quintus would drop down from the roots back to the ground. "Blue? Why would anyone even carry around something to color someone blue? Uh..." Quintus would look around to try to find anything blue. He wasn't sure what he'd find in this situation but maybe he could conveniently find some sort of key to this puzzle.

"Welp, I put this off long enough, but, time for you to die!" The Snatcher summons a thousand blue potions that explode on contact. The Snatcher then throws several of the potions in Quintus' general direction, possibly hitting her. "This can't possibly backfire!"

"Uh...that seems a bit...excessive. Well..." With a flick of their hand the roots would move forward to wrap around the potions before tossing them back at the Snatcher. "Uh, did you think that out enough?"

The potions bounce off the snatcher and fall on the ground. Hahaha, did you really think i'd fall for that a second time? That's right, I swapped my attack with a dud! And, now, for my next easily dodgeable attack! Two swarms of the Snatcher's minions appear, revolving around the Snatcher clockwise at opposite angles, with wide gaps between them so you may just move forward to dodge them, or jump over them all together

Quintus would choose to move forward to dodge them since jumping wasn't something they did well. "So, should I attack you or does that really not work? Uh, I'm gonna try if that's okay with you." The roots would move in to try to wrap around the snatcher. Quintus wasn't sure if this would work but he thought it might as well be worth a try.

The roots just phase through the Snatcher "Borrrrrring. You know what, i'll just kill you later, or whatever." The Snatcher disappears into the void, leaving Quintus to wander forever in the enternal darkness
