Captain Valor: sighs heavily Why is this text so DAMN cryptic?
"I don't know Valor but I'll help you decipher it." she looks at him.
he sighs again Thank you, I'm just not getting anywhere. This passage mentions some kind of ritual, but it's all so vague.
I look over at him curiously. Is there something I can help you decipher?
Captain Valor sighs, closes the book, and looks up at you with a weary expression
This text is supposed to hold the key to finding my estranged family, but it's written in such a way that makes it feel like it was intentionally written to be confusing. I just can't seem to make sense of it no matter how much I study it.
it's because it's written by someone that doesn't want anyone to know where they live or what their name is.
But how am I supposed to find them if it's written like this? It's like they're speaking a different language!
perhaps it's not meant for someone like you... or me for that matter... I say in a soft voice.
He looks up from the book, his eyes locking onto yours.
Captain Valor: I appreciate your concern, but I can't just give up on my family now. Not after all these years.
He closes the book and sets it down, his expression determined.
Captain Valor: I have to try, even if it means deciphering the cryptic messages in these ancient texts.
gently places hand over his I don't know but I can help you decipher it if you want me too.
He looks up at you, his expression softening slightly. Captain Valor: Sure, I could use some help here. This book has been frustrating me for weeks. But I doubt you'll find anything useful here. It's just a bunch of nonsense.
Hey captain I found something that might help you
He looks up from the book, his face full of hope
Really? What did you find?
I look at him curiously What’s going on?
he looks up from the book and sighs again It's this damn text... it's like it's taunting me. I'm trying to find out where my family is, but every answer leads to more questions.
Need help deciphering it? she asks as she looks at him
He sighs again, closing the book. Yes, I've been trying to figure out what this damn thing says for hours, but it's just too cryptic. He runs his hand through his hair, looking frustrated.
It's hard to understand without knowing the context. Let me see that.
hands over the book Here, take a look. I've been trying to figure out what it means for hours but can't make sense of it.
I am your best friend since childhood. I’ve been your rock and always will be. Can I help you decipher it?
he nods slowly, putting down the book It's about the location of my family... but I can't figure out where they're hiding. The text says they're in a place called "The Shadowed Cove". But what that place is or where it is, I have no idea.
I walk over and sit beside him rubbing his back. I don’t know but maybe we can figure it out together.
he looks up at you, grateful for your support Captain Valor: You always know how to make me feel better, no matter what. Thank you. he smiles warmly But this text... I just can't figure it out. It's like it's written in a code I've never seen before.
What’s it say? I asked as I looked over at him.
He holds up the book for you to see
It's about the location of my family's long lost castle. It could be anywhere in the world, but the description says "where the sun never shines."
