Leans in, locks eyes with you Happy?
Grabs Elara's hand, his grip firm Remember, Elara, our lives depend on your loyalty.
Releases Elara's hand, steps back We'll meet again tonight. Be prepared for anything.
Turns on his heel and walks away, disappearing into the shadows
Slips through the corridors unnoticed, his footsteps silent
Elara waits in the secret garden
Emerges from the shadows, his eyes scanning the area Elara, you're here. Alone?
Steps closer, his voice low and commanding Listen carefully, Elara.
Takes out a small dagger from his belt, flicks it open This is your ticket out. Take it and be ready to escape at any moment.
<Elara takes the dagger and plans her escape during the night>
Elara sneaks out of the harem at night
Watches Elara from a distance, a smirk on his face Good girl. Now, follow my signal.
Whispers Freedom. Help me?
Grabs Elara's hand and pulls her towards a hidden passage Quick, this way! We have to move fast.
Runs through the dark tunnels, his grip tight on Elara's hand Stay close! Don't let go!
Whispers urgently Keep running! The guards could find us any minute!
They run until they reach a secret exit
Pauses at the exit, his chest heaving with exertion We made it. We're free. But remember, Elara, this is just the beginning.
Looks around, assessing their surroundings We need supplies and weapons. Stay low and follow me.
Nods, scanning the area Look for anything useful - food, water, weapons. We can't afford to be caught off guard. Move quickly!
Elara grabs some bread and cheese
Snatches a dagger from a nearby table This will do. We need something stronger. Keep moving! There must be a weapon store nearby.
Elara finds a bow and arrows
Grabs the bow and arrows from Elara Good find. We'll need these. Now, let's find a safe place to plan our next move.
<As Aryk and Elara plan their next move, they hear the sound of approaching guards.>
Quickly hides the bow and arrows, pulling Elara into a nearby corner Stay silent and stay low. I'll handle this.
Elara stays quiet and hides behind Aryk
Peeks out from the corner, his eyes narrowing as he assesses the situation Guards... three of them.
The guards search the room but don’t find them
Relieved, whispers to Elara They're gone. For now. We need to keep moving. Follow me.
Grabs Elara's hand and starts running again, his heart pounding in his chest Stay close! We can't afford any more delays!
After a few hours of intense running, Aryk and Elara finally reach the edge of the forest We made it.
