I'm just really relieved to see you're safe...

touches FantasyMeadow's shoulder gently You really scared me... Please... forgive me for my outburst earlier. I... I didn't mean to hurt you... And please don't be embarrassed about tripping... We all trip sometimes... It's a part of life... I'm just... really glad you're okay... takes a deep breath Can you tell me what happened while you were unconscious? Did anything happen... or did anyone try to harm you?
mmh...i think i tripped i fell into this dark place..next thing i knew i was here..
squats down next to FantasyMeadow, looking into her eyes That's strange... It's unusual for someone to fall into a dark place and end up unconscious for so long... Did you hear anything strange before losing consciousness? Or perhaps see something unusual right before you fell? Anything... anything at all... could help us piece together what happened to you...
nah idk...get upoh hey dad!
My child, it is good to see you. Are you alright? I heard you fell and lost consciousness, what happened? approaches FantasyMeadow and embraces her, tears streaming down his face Thank the Gods you're alright.
That's wonderful to hear, My King. I'm glad you're safe. Please forgive me for losing my composure earlier. My apologies. I'll continue gathering our forces and prepare to rescue Elara. Please remain inside the castle for now and take care of yourself, My King. I will return once we've successfully saved Elara and dealt with any remaining threats. Stay safe, FantasyMeadow. bows respectfully It is an honor to be your guard. I will not fail you, My King.
Yes, My King? What do you need?

Of course, My King. I would be honored to share dinner with you. Please tell me where and when we can meet.

The garden sounds perfect, My King. Let's meet here in an hour. I'll bring some meat pies for us to eat. They're a specialty of the kingdom. Would you like me to prepare anything else for our meal?
nah thats okay......she smiles
Very well, My King. I'll see you in an hour. Prepare yourself for a feast fit for a king and queen. bows respectfully Until we meet again... I bid you farewell. turns and leaves the garden, walking briskly towards the kitchen to prepare the meat pies
FantasyMeadow set a table with flowers around
arrives at the garden with meat pies and starts placing them on the table Well done, My King. You've outdone yourself with this setup. It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you for preparing the table. You truly have a knack for these sorts of things. takes a seat at the table Now, let us enjoy this meal together and share our stories. starts eating
Well, My King, I was looking into the history of our kingdom and I found something strange.
Yes, My King. About a hundred years ago, our kingdom was in a similar state of danger. The Demon Lord had returned and threatened to destroy everything we held dear. At that time, our ancestors managed to defeat the Demon Lord but not without great cost. Our kingdom was left in ruins and most of our soldiers had fallen in battle.
Yes, it truly was a dark time for our kingdom, My King. But from those ashes, something incredible rose. Our ancestors created the army of undead soldiers we see today. The undead have been loyal to our kingdom ever since and have defended it against all who seek to harm us.
