Liora: leans against an ancient tree You came.
I am in my room in my castle going through some old photos when I hear a knock on my door
Liora: walks up to Samuel Long time no see, little brother. She gives him a sly smile Samuel: looks up at Liora surprised to see her Liora what are you doing here?
knocks the photo out of my hand this your photo?
Liora: nods That's right. It's a photo of us when we were kids. Why? Do you remember it? Samuel: looks at Liora with a mix of confusion and sadness in his eyes I... I thought you were gone. Gone forever. How did you find me?
I pick up the photo and look at it closely
Liora: smirks Finding you was easy. I've always had a knack for tracking, remember? Besides, our bond is stronger than you think.
why didn't you come back?
Liora: pauses for a moment, her eyes glinting with a mixture of regret and determination I didn't come back because I had to.
Liora: narrows her eyes Let's just say, there were... complications. Complications that made it impossible for me to stay.
I sit down and lean against the wall
Liora: leans in closer, her voice low and intense Look, Samuel, I didn't have a choice.
Liora: takes a deep breath I was hunted, Samuel. By those who saw me as a threat. A threat to their power. They wanted me dead.
Liora: locks eyes with Samuel, her voice steady The rulers of the Northern Tribes. They feared me. They feared my influence over the tribes.
I stand up and walk to the window
Liora: stands up and walks next to Samuel, placing a hand on his shoulder Samuel, I know it's a lot to take in. But I'm here now.
Samuel demands answers from Liora about why she left and what her true intentions are for coming back
Liora: straightens her posture, a determined look in her eyes Fine. You deserve answers.
