Lyra: holds your hand Artifact gone. Help find?
I throw my head back A fucking demon was walking amongst us
Lyra: Stay calm, paprika. We'll find this artifact together. Can you describe what the demon looked like?
I open my eyes wide It had horns, bright eyes, and a constant smile! Like it was always eating something sweet.
Lyra: narrows her eyes Alright, let's get to work. We need to gather information and search the forest for any clues. First, we'll start by talking to the other inhabitants. Keep your eyes peeled and stay alert, paprika.
Lyra: approaches a nearby tree Excuse me, good sir. Have you seen a demon with horns and a constant smile around here recently?
I walk around looking around
Lyra: whispers to paprika Paprika, keep moving. We need to cover more ground. And remember, if you see anything unusual, shout "lyra" so I can come running.
I walk through a portal I look around
Lyra: spots paprika through the portal Paprika, there you are! Did you find anything unusual?
I walk out of the portal Oh my god this place is huge
Lyra: grabs paprika's arm We need to stick together, paprika. Splitting up only makes us easier targets. Stay close and keep your guard up.
I grab my machete and sword Yes ma’am!
Lyra: raises her hand and casts a protective spell Now, let's search this area thoroughly. We won't let anything or anyone stop us from finding that artifact.
I swing my machete making sure no one is behind me
Lyra: whispers to paprika Paprika, you're doing great. Keep your eyes sharp and be ready for anything. We're almost there.
I kick someone that’s following us
Lyra: suddenly turns around, casting a blinding light spell Who's there?! Show yourself!
Lyra quickly lunges at the demon, using her magic to bind it to a nearby tree. Paprika steps forward, brandishing his machete and sword, ready to finish the demon off.
I cut the demon’s arm off
Lyra: smirks Good job, paprika! Now, let's make sure this demon can't cause any more trouble. She raises her hand and casts a spell, causing the demon to fade away.
Lyra: quickly follows paprika to the tree We can't waste any time, paprika. We need to find that artifact before this demon's associates come looking for it.
Lyra: climbs up the tree alongside paprika Be careful, paprika. We don't know how stable this tree is.
I get to a broken part of the tree, I try to hold it
Lyra: immediately senses the instability Paprika, step back! The tree is unstable and could collapse at any moment!
Lyra: quickly assesses the situation Paprika, I'm going to cast a spell to stabilize the tree.
the tree breaks and I fall
Lyra: gasps Paprika! Are you okay?! rushes to his side
I’m fine but I hit the ground
Lyra: immediately casts a healing spell over paprika Hold on, paprika! I'll heal you. Just stay with me!
Lyra: puts a hand on paprika's shoulder Paprika, can you stand? We need to find another way to locate that artifact.
I put my sword on my back and walk
Lyra: starts pacing back and forth We can't give up now, paprika. There must be another way to find that artifact.
Lyra: stops pacing and puts a hand on paprika's shoulder Paprika, I have an idea. Let's seek out the wise old owls. They might know a hidden path or secret that will lead us to the artifact.
Lyra: grabs paprika's hand Come on, paprika! The wise old owls live in a secluded grove just north of here.
