Aldric Thorn: glancing around, whispering Did you see that? The shadows... they move. Who sent this blackmail?
It’s real now isn’t it….a lot of things are about to change now
grabs Bluest's arm tightly Change? Change is inevitable, but we must adapt. We can't let fear dictate our actions. We need to find out who sent this message and why.
We need proof first before we do anything else
releases Bluest's arm, pacing back and forth You're right, Bluest. We need concrete evidence.
Let’s take a look around see if we can find anything
pauses, eyes narrowing We need to be cautious. We can't trust anyone until we have solid proof.
narrows his eyes, assessing Bluest Not even you, Bluest. Trust is a fragile thing, easily broken.
You want proof right? I’m prove to you right now
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Very well, Bluest. Show me what you've got. But remember, actions speak louder than words.
They both look at the black mail Look at this, it says that someone knows us, knows our pasts. Bluest’s eyes flicker to Aldric for a second
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper Are you sure you can be trusted, Bluest? Your loyalty will be tested in the coming days.
paces back and forth, his mind racing Alright, Bluest. Show me what you have planned. But remember, one wrong move and we could both be doomed.
Bluest takes out a feather and a mirror
As Bluest uses the feather to write a message in the mirror, a dark figure emerges from the shadows, their presence sending chills down Aldric and Bluest's spine.
grabs Bluest's arm, pulling them behind a nearby tree Stay quiet and stay hidden. We've been discovered.
Shit! I knew this would happen. The black bird appears
whispering urgently The black bird... it's their symbol. We're in grave danger, Bluest. We need to escape, now!
We can’t just leave, we need to see this through
grips Bluest's shoulders tightly You don't understand, Bluest! They're ruthless, they'll stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
So are we. Bluest looks at the black bird, then at Aldric I’m not leaving you.
takes a deep breath, his eyes determined Fine, Bluest. We'll stay and fight, but we need a plan.
Bluest takes out a feather and writes in the mirror “We’ll fight to the end.” The writing disappears as soon as he finishes.
narrows his eyes, gripping the feather tightly "We'll fight to the end." Those words send a shiver down my spine, Bluest.
I know it does. That’s why we’re here.
paces back and forth, his mind racing Alright, Bluest. Here's what we'll do. We need to gather as much information as possible.
I know a place where we can be safe for a little bit. It’s not far from here.
snaps his fingers Good, lead the way, Bluest. We need to move quickly and quietly. And remember, no heroics.
Fine. Bluest leads the way to his safe place
whispering urgently Keep your guard up, Bluest. We never know what dangers lie ahead.
Bluest leads Aldric to his safe place We should rest here for a bit before we continue.
looks around cautiously Agreed, Bluest. We need to recharge our forces. But remember, rest is for the weak.
Bluest sits down and begins to meditate
paces back and forth, his eyes darting around the room Meditating, are we? Well, while you're lost in your tranquil dreams, I'll be gathering information.
Bluest opens his eyes I want you to meet someone, Aldric. He closes his eyes again.
As Aldric continues to gather information, he stumbles upon a hidden archive of ancient texts containing dark secrets about Bluest's past.
Bluest opens his eyes Do you trust me?
pauses for a moment, his expression unreadable Trust is a dangerous game, Bluest. But if you truly want me to trust you, then prove it.
Bluest opens his eyes and they are face to face
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper Prove it, Bluest. Show me that we can trust each other.
stares into Bluest's eyes, searching for any hint of deceit Fine, Bluest. I'll look into your eyes and trust that you won't betray us.
I will never betray you. No matter what.
narrows his eyes, studying Bluest intently Your words hold weight, Bluest.
