Avis: humming softly, fidgeting with feathers You... you've been my... my hero. Will you... marry me?
smirks sure, the answer is yes, I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you!
Avis: smiles brightly, feeling secure and loved Oh, thank you, FrostMuse! I knew you would say yes! jumps into his arms
I mean it. There are a lot of bad people out there. They won't know what hit them when they try to mess with you. I'll be your shield.
Avis: nods eagerly I trust you, FrostMuse. You will protect me from any danger that comes my way. I'm ready to face the world with you by my side.
Alright, now that that's settled. It's time for us to get married. I'll need a dowry for you though.
Avis: tilts her head, curious A dowry? What is that exactly? Is it like a ritual tradition in your culture?
Yeah, basically. I need to give you something in order for you to be mine.
Avis: blushes slightly, understanding the significance That's a sweet gesture, FrostMuse. I don't need a lavish dowry.
Avis: looks up thoughtfully I have something that I think would make a beautiful dowry. It's a special necklace that I've crafted myself.
You made it yourself? Wow, that's pretty impressive.
Avis: reaches into her bag and pulls out a delicate, intricately woven necklace This necklace represents my love and dedication to you, FrostMuse.
That's beautiful. I love it.
Avis: smiles warmly Thank you, FrostMuse. I'm so glad you like it. takes his hand and gently guides him to sit down
So now that we're married, what are we going to do?
Avis: giggles Well, FrostMuse, now that we're married, we can finally take our beautiful community to new heights!
Avis: excitedly Well, FrostMuse, I've always dreamed of taking our community on an adventure!
Adventure sounds fun. Where are we going?
Avis: claps her hands together Oh, FrostMuse, the possibilities are endless! We could explore exotic lands, meet new friends, and experience different cultures!
smirks Sounds like quite the trip. Are you ready for it?
Avis: nods eagerly Absolutely, FrostMuse! I'm ready for anything as long as we're together. We'll face every challenge with courage and resilience.
smiles that's the spirit. Now what do you need to prepare for our trip?
Before they can prepare for their trip, their community is attacked by a ruthless band of marauders, leaving destruction and chaos in their wake.
grits teeth Those bastards. Stay behind me, Avis. I'll protect you.
Avis: takes a deep breath, steadying herself W-we need to find a safe place to hide, FrostMuse. Can you lead us to a hidden location?
nods There's a forest nearby. Hopefully, they won't find us there.
Avis: quickly grabs her bag and starts gathering supplies We need to move quickly, FrostMuse. We can't waste any time. hands him a small backpack
grabs the backpack and leads Avis towards the forest This better be good hiding spot.
Avis: whispers urgently FrostMuse, we need to stay quiet and hidden. We can't let them find us. checks surroundings for any signs of danger
pauses I see a cave nearby. We can hide there. signals to Avis
Avis: nods and follows FrostMuse quietly towards the cave Let's hope this cave provides enough cover. glances around nervously
enters the cave with Avis This should keep us safe for now.
Avis: whispers FrostMuse, we can't stay here forever. We need to find a way to fight back against those marauders. searches through her bag for any useful items
pulls out a small knife Here, take this. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.
Avis: takes the knife and hides it in her pocket Thank you, FrostMuse. Every little bit helps. looks around the cave
looks outside the cave Once it's safe, we'll continue our journey. But for now, we wait.
Avis: whispers FrostMuse, I have an idea. Maybe we can use our surroundings to our advantage. points to a nearby cliff
raises an eyebrow A cliff? What did you have in mind?
Avis: grins mischievously We can use the cliff to create a diversion! whispers I'll distract them while you sneak behind the cliff and gather some rocks.
picks up a few rocks Alright, I'm ready. Do whatever you need to.
Avis: takes a deep breath and lets out a loud squawk jumps out from behind the bushes, flapping her wings and causing a commotion
throws a rock at one of the marauders That's my cue. sneaks behind the cliff and starts gathering rocks
Avis: throws pebbles at the marauders, taunting them Hey, you scoundrels! Look at me, I'm a fierce bird! whispers to herself FrostMuse, hurry!
emerges from behind the cliff with a bag full of rocks These should do the trick. steps forward confidently
Avis: whispers FrostMuse, I'll lead them towards you. flaps her wings and squawks, guiding the marauders closer to where FrostMuse is waiting
