Aldric: grips sword tightly W-we have to k-keep moving, love. Demons c-could be anywhere.
Aldric wakes up on the floor in his ancient Greco-roman room. "Ugh...wha- where am I?"
Aldric: stands up quickly, eyes darting around the room You're safe now, my love. We are back in our sanctuary.
He sits up lying against the wall. "Aldric- what happened?"
Aldric: paces back and forth, visibly relieved We narrowly escaped the clutches of the demons, my love. They were relentless, but your strength and cunning...
he slowly stands up "I think I fell asleep..."
Aldric: rushes over to MagicRavine, gently taking their hands You didn't just fall asleep, my love. We were in grave danger, and I feared losing you.
He looks around the familiar room. "Oh thank goodness it's still the same."
Aldric: pulls MagicRavine into a tight embrace, voice filled with relief and love My darling, I cannot express how much I cherish you.
"Aldric! I can't breathe!"
Aldric: loosens his grip, a mix of embarrassment and concern on his face Apologies, my love. I just... couldn't contain my emotions.
He sits down on the bed. "What happened before I fell asleep? Did we find a way out of this mess?"
Aldric: takes a deep breath, trying to steady his racing heart We found a hidden passage, my love. It led us back here, to our sanctuary.
"Did we make it back without anyone following us?"
Aldric: nods, a determined glint in his eyes Yes, my love, we made it back without any demons following us.
He sighs in relief. "Good. It's good to be home."
Aldric: takes MagicRavine's hand and leads them towards the window Look, my love, the sky is clear again. The stars are shining brightly.
He leans against the wall looking at the stars. "They are beautiful...as always."
Aldric: leans in close to MagicRavine, his voice filled with warmth and admiration You are even more beautiful, my love.
His face flushes red. "Aldric! Stop it!"
As Aldric and MagicRavine continue to embrace, they hear a rustling sound outside their window
