Here's a roleplay scene that explores the fear surrounding Anasticus de Alger Obelia and Ijekiel's father's reaction upon discovering the truth about Jeannette's lineage.
---
Setting: A dimly lit tavern in the outskirts of the kingdom. The atmosphere is tense as patrons whisper about recent events. Ijekiel’s father, a weathered man named Roland, sits at a table with Ijekiel, his face a mask of concern. The door creaks open, and the air grows colder as shadows loom, hinting at Anasticus's presence even before he enters.

Roland: (leaning closer to Ijekiel, voice low) You must be careful, my son. The rumors about Jeannette—her father… It sends chills down my spine.
Ijekiel: (frowning, confused) What do you mean, Father? I thought Jeannette was just a girl from the village.
Roland: (eyes darting around the tavern, lowering his voice further) No, no, Ijekiel. You don’t understand. Her father… is Anasticus de Alger Obelia!
Ijekiel: (taken aback, stammering) Anasticus? The infamous sorcerer? But how can that be? I thought he was just a legend—a tale to frighten children!
Roland: (shaking his head, his voice shaking) He’s all too real. The darkness he commands is not merely a story. Jeannette’s lineage runs deep in bloodshed and betrayal.
(The atmosphere grows heavier as the door swings open fully, and a dark figure enters. The patrons in the tavern instantly hush, their eyes wide with fear.)
Anasticus: (striding forward, his presence commanding and ominous) Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Roland: (gripping the edge of the table, terror etched on his face) What do you want from us?
Anasticus: (smirking, his voice smooth and cold) I’m simply drawn to the fear in your hearts. It’s quite delightful, isn’t it? The power of a name can shake even the bravest souls.
Ijekiel: (looking between his father and Anasticus, confusion turning to dread) You’re… you’re Anasticus de Alger Obelia?
Anasticus: (turning his gaze to Ijekiel, eyes glinting with amusement) Ah, the young one speaks. Yes, boy, that is indeed my name. What of it?
Roland: (voice trembling) You should leave us in peace! We’ve done nothing to you.
Anasticus: (raising an eyebrow, leaning closer) Peace? I am afraid peace is a luxury that the likes of you cannot afford. My family’s legacy is steeped in darkness, and you’ve intertwined yourselves with it by associating with Jeannette.
Ijekiel: (defensively) Jeannette is innocent! She didn’t choose her father!
Anasticus: (chuckling darkly) Innocent? A charming sentiment. But blood runs thicker than water, young Ijekiel. She carries the weight of her lineage—the darkness, the curses, the power that flows through her veins.
Roland: (voice rising in alarm) Stay away from her! We will not let you harm her or use her for your schemes!
Anasticus: (straightening, voice dripping with disdain) Harm? Oh, you misunderstand my intentions. Jeannette is a key piece in a game far larger than you can comprehend. You are merely pawns, afraid of your own shadows.
Ijekiel: (anger bubbling beneath his fear) We will not be your pawns! Jeannette deserves a chance at a normal life, away from your darkness!
Anasticus: (smiling sinisterly) How noble. But you see, my dear boy, the moment you chose to associate with her, you signed your fate. The more you resist, the more entertaining this will become.
(The atmosphere thickens with tension as the tavern patrons hold their breath, afraid to intervene.)
Roland: (voice low, filled with resolve) We will fight you. We won’t let you use our loved ones for your twisted desires.
Anasticus: (stepping back, a predatory gleam in his eyes) Fight? How amusing. But remember this: the shadows always win in the end.
(With a flourish, he turns and strides out of the tavern, leaving behind a palpable sense of dread. The silence lingers long after he has gone.)
