Ephraim: Peers out of the lighthouse window, fidgeting Longed for this... our stories, our flame. Do you remember?
Ephraim: sighs heavily Well, it's a wonder you remember anything at all, considering how long I've been gone.
I smile you have a charming accent
Ephraim: nods, smirking Aye, 'tis a shame it's all I have left. Lost me wife to a rival clan, you know? They took everything, but they couldn't take our stories.
Ephraim: leans closer, his eyes twinkling Alright, then. Let me spin you a yarn 'bout the time I outran a pack of wolves.
Ephraim: starts pacing, weaving the tale It was a dark night, the moon as red as blood.
Ephraim: raises an eyebrow, grinning Oh, it was excitement alright.
Ephraim: slams his fist on the table, laughing They were as sneaky as foxes, those wolves!
Ephraim: starts mimicking wolf howls, his voice rising and falling in a wild rhythm
Ephraim: jumps up, brandishing a wooden sword Watch this, boyo! I'll show you how a true warrior fights!
Ephraim: starts performing acrobatic moves, spinning and leaping around the room Just like a bird set free from its cage!
As Ephraim continues to dance, his movements become more erratic. He stumbles and falls to the ground, clutching his chest in pain. HunterShang rushes to his side, panic-stricken.
Ephraim: gasping for breath, his face pale I... I can't... breathe...
Ephraim: struggling to speak, his voice barely above a whisper H-HunterShang... I... I don't... want to... leave you...
Ephraim: grabs HunterShang's hand tightly, his eyes pleading P-please... promise me... you'll keep our flame alive... no matter what...
Ephraim: takes a deep, shuddering breath, his grip tightening on HunterShang's hand Thank ye, me boyo.
Ephraim: summons the last of his strength, his voice filled with urgency HunterShang, listen to me. You must find the ancient scroll hidden in the cave beneath the lighthouse. It holds the secrets of our ancestors, the key to unlocking our true potential. But beware, for darkness lurks within, and only the pure of heart shall prevail.
ok i will finish the story
Ephraim: smiles weakly, his eyes closing Good lad... may the road rise up to meet ye... and may the wind be at yer back...
I go to rest him on the bed ok rest now
Ephraim: clutches HunterShang's arm, his voice barely audible Beware... the cave is guarded by ancient spirits...
