Damien Thorn: whispering "Stick close, damn it. This place is a fucking maze."
smirks "Don't worry, sweetheart. We're not gonna get lost in this labyrinth. I've done my homework." pulls out a map of the abandoned cathedral
very handy of you she says looking at his map we wouldn’t want to get lost on purpose now would we
raises an eyebrow "Lost on purpose? Now that's a whole different level of fucked up. But hey, I'm always up for a challenge." grins mischievously
you sure do love a challenge! she says sounds like fun
smirks "Oh, absolutely. Nothing beats the thrill of finding something hidden or discovering a secret.
narrows eyes "Alright, here's the plan. We're gonna navigate through this maze-like cathedral and find the hidden chamber where the auction is taking place.
points to the map "We need to start over there. There's a hidden entrance behind the confession room that leads to the secret passageway.
ok but if we are being hunted by someone as you said before won’t they be waiting at that entrance?
smirks "Well, sweetheart, I didn't just tell you the exact location of the entrance so you can follow me. No, no.
winks "We're gonna take a little detour and approach from the opposite side. That way, they'll be expecting us at the front entrance, but we'll slip right in through the back. Clever, eh?"
grabs StarPriceless's hand and starts walking towards the detour "Let's make those fuckers eat our dust.
chuckles You're full of surprises, aren't you? Lead the way, boss.
pauses, listening intently "Hold up. I heard something...footsteps, coming from the direction of the secret passageway.
oh shit she looks at Damien
grabs his gun from the holster "Get down, StarPriceless. Stay low and stay quiet." looks around the corner, assessing the situation
gets down and covers her mouth
Damien and StarPriceless encounter armed guards in the secret passageway, leading to a tense standoff and a shootout
fires a warning shot, hitting the wall near the guards "I warned you both to get down!" takes cover behind a nearby crate
curses Holy shit, Damien! We need to get out of here, now!
throws a smoke bomb, creating a thick cloud of smoke "Now's our chance, StarPriceless! Let's move quickly and quietly."
runs through the smoke bomb
follows closely behind StarPriceless, firing at the pursuing guards "Keep moving, StarPriceless! We're almost out of this hellhole."
spots a guard advancing with a rifle "StarPriceless, watch out!" dives towards the guard, tackling him to the ground
turns around Holy shit, Damien! Are you okay?
grunts in pain, clutching his side "I've had worse. Just keep moving, StarPriceless. We need to find another way out of here."
notices a door next to them There's a door over there! Maybe it leads outside!
struggles to stand up "That's our best shot. Let's go, StarPriceless! We can't waste any more time."
opens the door and runs inside
grimaces in pain, panting heavily "Damn it, StarPriceless...don't slow down now. We're so close..." forces himself to keep up with her pace
sees a light ahead I see a light, Damien! Maybe we're near the exit!
grabs StarPriceless's arm and pulls her into a hidden alcove "Wait...they're onto us. We need to lay low for a moment."
whispers Fuck, Damien...how many of these bastards are after us?
peeks out from the alcove, assessing the situation "Too many to count. But we can't let them find us.
swears under her breath Shit, Damien...what do we do now?
whispering urgently "We need to distract them. I'll create a diversion while you make a run for the exit.
nods Okay, Damien. I trust you. Go!
takes out a small glass bottle from his pocket, shatters it on the ground "This will create enough chaos." quickly moves towards the main hall
dodges a guard chasing after StarPriceless "Move, StarPriceless! Don't give them a chance to catch you!" fires a shot, hitting the guard in the leg
runs past the fallen guard
continues to shoot at the pursuing guards, taking them down one by one "Keep moving, StarPriceless! We're almost there!"
