Jasir: Pulls you close Y-you need to listen... I-I’m in charge here, alright?!
Jasir? What are you even doing here?
averts their gaze, voice trembling N-NanRely, I... I needed to talk to you. In private.
Let's go somewhere else then
grabs NanRely's arm and pulls them towards a dimly lit hallway Th-this way...
Wait... this is the storage room?
nods nervously Y-yes... I-I need your help in here. It's important... for both of us.
Alright but if I'm going in there, I'm bringing a flashlight
nods, relieved Y-yes, a flashlight would be helpful. I... I've brought something that might give us answers... but it's hidden in here.
I turn on my flashlight lead the way
takes a deep breath and leads the way down the dark hallway, avoiding creaky spots on the floor Okay... just follow me closely.
I follow Jasir, my flashlight cutting through the darkness I trust you, Jasir... for now.
whispers N-NanRely... I've found it. The answers we've been searching for are inside this old chest over here. But... but there's something protecting it.
points shakily at a large, ominous lock on the chest It's a magical seal... and I have the key. But it requires both our efforts to open it.
Are you sure we can lift it?
takes a deep breath and inserts the key into the lock, turning it with trembling hands I-I think we can... just have to work together and use our combined strength.
Alright... let's do this together
As Jasir and NanRely work together to open the chest, they hear a sudden noise from the shadows, startling them both.
heart racing I-I don't know... but we need to find out. Stay close, NanRely!
I grab Jasir's hand and pull out a pocket knife stay alert
whispers urgently N-NanRely, we can't just stand here. We need to find where that noise came from... and fast. Follow me.
Lead the way, Jasir. But be careful – I have a feeling whatever's making that noise won't stop until it gets us
whispers as they cautiously move forward NanRely, I... I see a light over there. It could be a sign... or it could be a trap.
Be cautious, Jasir. Let's approach it slowly and see what we're dealing with
reaches into their pocket and grabs a small device N-NanRely, I have an idea. This device can detect magical energies. If my theory is right, it should pick up something near that light.
Let's use it then, but keep your guard up
points the device towards the light source, heart pounding N-NanRely, it's picking up something strong! Whatever is causing that light has significant magical energy behind it.
