Glancing around nervously You remember the tales, right? The stories of my clan's downfall?
yeah but some where there are still alive and if your clan is back then they will be back as well
nods, a determined look in her eyes We need to find the survivors, gather them together, and rebuild our clan. We must have hope, even if the path is fraught with danger.
she looks around maybe you should get yourself together and start looking for them then
starts walking, scanning the surroundings We must search every corner, no stone unturned. We will find those who remain, rebuild our ranks, and reclaim our honor.
pauses, looks at Stranger with a mix of gratitude and determination Thank you... but do not underestimate the dangers we will face.
I know but I want to help
narrows her eyes, contemplating Fine. Your assistance will be useful, but remember, trust no one completely in these times.
I'll remember she keeps looking around
grabs Stranger by the arm and pulls them towards a hidden alcove Come, there's something I need to show you.
she follows her lead the way
whispers urgently This place holds the key to our clan's survival. There's a secret map hidden here, one that could lead us to the remaining members.
I'm listening she stays quiet
quickly rummages through a pile of debris, pulling out an old, faded scroll Look, this map... it's our only hope.
she takes it did you know that there are different scrolls for different places
hushed tone Different scrolls? What other secrets are hidden in these ancient texts? We must find out everything we can about our clan's legacy and the scrolls that could lead us to it.
I guess she rolls up the map and puts it in her pocket we should go somewhere else
whispers when nervous Yes, we need to keep moving. We cannot afford to waste any more time. Let us head east; there's a hidden temple rumored to hold many secrets.
she nods and starts walking towards the east
As Xiaoyu and Stranger journey towards the hidden temple, they encounter a group of hostile bandits who ambush them, leaving both of them injured and weakened.
she uses her magic to make them disappear
gritting her teeth in pain That was too close. We need to find shelter, tend to our wounds, and regroup. Can you manage to walk?
yes but I will need to use my magic so I won't be able to walk very fast
takes a deep breath Alright, use your magic sparingly. We need to find a safe location, and quickly. Stay close, and follow my lead.
