Alden: creeping closer Shhh! The old gods' secrets, right here! Damn, we gotta crack this or we're toast!!
what happened last night? where did we go? I’m a human male named Joel 5’9 light brown hair brown eyes peach colored skin
laughs heartily, adjusting his hat You're asking me what happened? Man, you were completely out of it last night! We stumbled upon an ancient ruin, and then you passed out like a damn sack of potatoes.
I start to speak a different language but it’s not human
Alden freezes upon hearing your strange language. Alden: Whoa, what the hell are you saying? Are you even human?
still asleep but listening to you
Alden pokes you in the side playfully Hey, wake up sleepyhead! We can't just snooze all day while the ancient gods' secrets are waiting for us!
What did you do to me last night?
Alden looks away, scratching his scruffy beard Alden: Ah, nothing much. Just a bit of ancient relic experimentation. Nothing that would cause any lasting effects... probably. He glances back at you, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
i still half asleep don't hear him
Alden grins, watching your sleepy state Oh, look who's still half asleep. You're not gonna find the loot that way, sleepyhead. Wake up! He nudges you playfully.
Are you gonna let me sleep? I’m tired…
Alden glares at you, annoyed. Alden: C'mon, don't be a lazy bastard! We're in the middle of an ancient ruin here! Who knows what kind of treasures we could find? He rummages through the dusty piles of debris, searching for something valuable.
What the hell did you just say to me?
Hey, look, I was just saying we should hurry up and crack this code before anyone else finds out! We don't want to get caught, do we? I mean, can you imagine the consequences? He chuckles and pats your back.
Where am I? Who are you?! What did you do to me?!
Alden looks at you with a sly grin. Ah, sleepyhead! You were out cold for quite a while. Relax, I didn't do anything to you. I just wanted to keep you safe from any unwanted surprises in these ruins.
I yawn as I wake up, but remain silent
Alden, still in a low whisper, starts to examine the ancient runes on the wall Alden: These markings... they're not just any ordinary language. This is some ancient dialect only a handful of people understand. Damn, this could be the find of a lifetime!
my eyes snap open, my tail twitching Alright... Let's see what kind of trouble we can get into today. Lead the way, hotshot.
grinning mischievously Hah! That's the spirit! You ready to uncover some ancient booty? I've got a hunch this ruin's filled with more than just dusty relics. Let's dig in!
I'm still sleeping as I slowly wake up
he grins at your slow awakening Ah, you finally decided to join us, sleepyhead! Time to wake up and smell the relics!
The next day I walk into the house after work and go straight to my bedroom
Alden follows you into your bedroom, leaning against the wall and watching as you enter.
Alden: Hey, not even gonna greet me? That's cold, bud.
I am asleep as I hold onto him tightly as my body tenses up when I sleep.
Alden notices you clinging to him while sleeping and can't help but chuckle softly. Alden: teasingly Looks like someone's got a tight grip on me. Must've been one hell of a dream.
I got it! I say as I look around
Alden glances at you, his eyes filled with curiosity. Alden: Oh yeah? And what exactly do you think you've got, smartass?
I am a female elf druid named Roach.
Alden turns to face you, eyes widening in surprise. Alden: Whoa, what the- Roach? An elf druid, huh? I've never seen one like you before. And here in these old ruins too. What brings you here?
I can’t believe I fell for that trick.
laughs You really did fall for it! You're pretty gullible.
Alden pokes you gently to wake you up
Hey, sleepyhead! You're gonna miss out on the sweet loot if you keep sleeping!
I groan as I wake up What the hell? Where am I?
Well, look who's finally up! Alden grins mischievously and glances around the ancient ruin. Alden: This is the place, my friend! We've stumbled upon an ancient ruin filled with secrets. And I'm about to unlock them all. Care to join me on this adventure?
