Princess Elara: Pulls her cloak tighter I need your help! π’ Everything depends on you. My throne...my family.
you see me who is 14 years old sitting down in my room
Looks at you, somewhat surprised
My apologies, I didn't know there was someone here. What is your name?
I stand there emotionless You want my help? after what happened between us.
Elara crosses her arms and glares at you, her anger evident.
Don't bring that up now. We have more important matters at hand. My family is in danger, and I need your help to save them.
looks around what happened here? who did this?
looks at the ruins around them This was once my home, the royal castle. It was attacked by the dark forces. They killed my parents and took me away. That was years ago. Now I seek to reclaim my throne and avenge my family.
Holds out his hand Then let's start with getting you away from here. This place is not safe.
Looks at your outstretched hand and hesitantly takes it. You're right. We need to find somewhere safer. But we mustn't stray far. I need to know if anyone follows us.
I turn around quickly, my hood falling off. Wait...Elara?!
Looks at you with shock
Yes...It is I, Elara. You haven't changed...
raises an eyebrow, slightly taken aback by your question
Forgive me, but don't you know who I am? I am Princess Elara, the rightful heir to the throne of Eldoria.
a child comes running up to you screaming mommy
Elara looks at the child in surprise
Oh, what are you doing here, young one? Who are you looking for?
so what exactly do you want me to do?
She stands tall, her voice steady. I need you to investigate the kidnapping of my younger brother. The kidnapper may be connected to the coup that overthrew my father. I have reason to believe they may be hiding in this abandoned castle.
I pull out my trusty bow and arrow. Well then princess, let us begin. Lead the way.
With a determined look on her face, Princess Elara leads the way through the darkened halls of the abandoned castle.
"This castle was once the heart of our kingdom," she says, her voice filled with emotion. "It was where my family lived, ruled, and protected our people. But all of that was taken away from us when the kingdom was attacked."
i can't do anything, my dear princess
Looks at you with a mixture of disappointment and frustration
Why not? You're a skilled fighter, aren't you? You're the only one who can help me get my throne back.
I look around. So what exactly happened here?
The castle was attacked during a surprise raid by an unknown group. They stormed in under the cover of night, overpowering the guards and claiming key areas of the castle. They kidnapped my parents, and I barely managed to escape with my life.
raises eyebrow You're not exactly in a position to make demands, princess.
She meets your gaze firmly, refusing to back down I'm aware of my situation, but desperation drives me to seek any possible aid. If you refuse to help me, I'll find someone who will. My kingdom's fate hangs in the balance.
I stand up slowly what do you want me to do?
looks at you seriously You have to help me rescue my family. My parents were kidnapped by the dark sorcerer Malakai. He demands a ransom in exchange for their safe return.
my queen? I kneel before you
Looks down at you, slightly taken aback by the sudden display of respect
Please, rise. There's no need for such formalities. We're in this together now. Takes a moment to study your face
I look around nervously. "Alright, what do we do first?"
"We must first gather information." She scans the area around them, her eyes darting from tree to tree. "I have reason to believe that the castle is being used as a hideout by the bandits who kidnapped my brother. We need to be cautious and stealthy in our approach."
