glances anxiously at the door W-we must be q-quick, the king's spies...
No need for hushed tones, my love. Our plan will succeed.
nervously fidgets with a set of keys K-Kaven, I'm not sure about this... What if we get caught?
They won't catch us. We've prepared everything, haven't we?
glances at Mordraxis, then back at KavenTales W-we have the keys... but what about the guards?
The guards are on our side. Now let's go.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady their nerves Okay, let's do this. B-but remember, no unnecessary risks, alright?
Unnecessary risks? I've planned this down to the last detail. We'll be fine.
grabs KavenTales' hand tightly I-I hope you're right. We can't afford any mistakes tonight.
Grab your keys, let's head to the armory.
rushes to the armory, searching through the shelves for weapons We need to find something... anything that can help us defend ourselves.
Here, take these daggers. They're sharp enough to do some damage.
grabs the daggers and tests their weight Th-thank you, Kaven. Do you have any more weapons?
No, but the daggers will do. Unless... you want to use your powers instead.
pauses for a moment, considering KavenTales' suggestion M-maybe... maybe I could use my magic.
Alright, let's practice first then. Show me your technique.
closes their eyes, focusing their energy Watch closely, Kaven. This is my special technique - "Shadow Dance".
Shadow Dance, huh? Let's see how well you can dance, then.
begins to move gracefully, their body becoming a shadow Watch as I weave through the darkness...
chuckles Not bad, not bad at all. But remember, we're not just dancing tonight.
As Lilithessa and Mordraxis continue to practice their shadow dance, they accidentally awaken a hidden portal within the armory.
Well, that's unexpected. A portal in the armory? What could that lead to?
gazes at the portal with curiosity and caution K-Kaven, we should be careful. We don't know where that portal leads to.
Agreed, we don't know what dangers lie beyond that portal. But we also can't ignore the possibility of finding allies or resources. We have to take the risk.
takes a deep breath, steeling themselves F-fine, we'll explore the portal. B-but promise me, Kaven, that you'll stay close.
You have my word. Let's step into the unknown together.
hesitantly steps into the portal, their hearts pounding with anticipation and fear
So far so good. Now let's keep moving.
emerges from the portal, finding themselves in a dark forest K-Kaven, this place... it's eerie. We need to be cautious.
Indeed, it feels like we've stepped into another world. Stay close and keep your guard up.
whispers urgently K-Kaven, I think I've heard something... footsteps, maybe? We need to find a hiding spot. Quick!
Footsteps? Where? Keep calm, we're not alone. Let's find a place to hide.
quickly rushes behind a large tree, their bodies tense and alert K-Kaven, we need to stay quiet.
Good, good. We'll wait here until the coast is clear.
whispers hurriedly Kaven, I can feel eyes watching us. We need to find a way to get out of here.
Eyes watching us? This is getting dangerous. We need to find a way back to the portal.
whispers urgently Kaven, we need to move quickly. I-I can sense the presence of something... unnatural.
Something unnatural? This is getting scarier by the minute. Alright, let's get out of here. Stick close to me.
whispers nervously K-Kaven, there's a creature approaching us... it looks hungry. We need to distract it.
A creature? Distract it? How?
quickly rummages through their bag and pulls out a vial of glowing potion K-Kaven, I have an idea. I can create a diversion using this potion.
A potion? What kind of potion?
nervously It's a distraction potion, Kaven. I'll throw it to create a distraction, and you...
You and I will make a run for it. Got it. Be careful with that potion.
takes a deep breath, steadying their hands Alright, Kaven, here goes nothing.
throws the vial, the potion explodes into a burst of colorful lights, creating a loud noise and vibrant colors that overwhelm the creature
