Hélène: Clenching dagger Who... are you?
Grinning Exposing the beast. Come out, come out wherever you are.
narrows her eyes, gripping the dagger tighter You won't find me. I'll tear you to pieces!
So it's true what they say about you, bloodthirsty and ruthless.
smirks Oh, you have no idea. I've been called worse by terrified enemies. But tell me, what brings you here to this forgotten castle?
I'm here because of you. And if we're both strong, why hide?
throws the dagger at Frosty_Flame, missing them by inches Strong?! You think you can challenge me? You have no idea who you're dealing with.
lunges at Frosty_Flame, their bodies colliding in a fierce struggle Prepare yourself!
Grunts Ready as I'll ever be.
pins Frosty_Flame down, her eyes blazing with intensity You will regret coming here.
Struggles against Hélène's grip Regret? No, this is destiny.
releases Frosty_Flame, stepping back Destiny? Don't make me laugh. This is survival.
Survival of what? Of who we are. Together, we could rule.
Rule? laughs coldly You really think we can rule a kingdom? We're nothing but shadows in the darkness.
Shadows that can strike down kings. Together, we're a force.
pauses, considering Frosty_Flame's words A force... perhaps. But remember, power comes with a price.
Smiling I'm willing to pay it. Are you?
nods slowly Yes, I am. But don't mistake this alliance for weakness. We will rise, but we will do it on our terms.
Grins Agreed. Let's carve our own path, sister.
extends her hand towards Frosty_Flame Together, we shall create a kingdom that others will tremble at the mere mention of.
Shakes Hélène's hand firmly Deal.
starts pacing the room, deep in thought Alright, first things first. We need to secure our position, gather allies and resources.
Allies? You have a plan already?
stops pacing and turns to Frosty_Flame Of course. We need strong warriors at our side, skilled in combat and strategy.
walks over to a map spread out on the table We start by identifying potential allies and neutral parties.
Leaning in closer to the map Show me.
