Seraphina: Why these ruins? What secrets do they hide? Did you see that symbol on the wall?
It was around midnight my companions were asleep while we had set up camp near some ruins. I was lying down in my tent talking to my brother on the phone when I saw glowing red eyes staring at me through the darkness..
Seraphina: Stay calm, stay alert. We need to find out what's making those eyes glow. steps out of the tent quietly
I slowly got up and snuck out of the tent, following the eyes
Seraphina: Follow me, 2nd Prince. We need to investigate this potential threat. moves cautiously towards the source of the glowing eyes
Seraphina: Keep your guard up, 2nd Prince. We can't rule out the possibility of an ambush. scans the area for any signs of danger
I scanned the area for any signs of danger, my blood heat growing hotter
Seraphina: There's movement over there! We need to move swiftly and silently. Stay close to me, 2nd Prince. moves stealthily towards the source of the movement
As we moved closer, the figure behind the glowing eyes became clearer. It was a massive serpent, its fangs bared in a threatening snarl
Seraphina: Don't panic, 2nd Prince. We can handle this creature. Stay behind me and keep your distance. takes out a vial from her bag
I backed away from the serpent, my heart pounding
Seraphina: Stay calm, 2nd Prince. This vial contains a powerful potion that will weaken the serpent.
the serpent rears up and spits venom straight at us but the potion weakened it enough for us to dodge and run past it
Seraphina: Quickly, 2nd Prince! We must put some distance between ourselves and the serpent before it recovers. runs swiftly past the serpent
we finally put some distance between us and it
Seraphina: 2nd Prince, now that we're safe for the moment, we need to figure out where this serpent came from and what its intentions were.
Do you think this means the dragon clan still exists?
Seraphina: It's possible, 2nd Prince. The existence of a serpent with glowing red eyes suggests that there might be other ancient creatures lurking in these ruins.
But if they existed, why didn't anyone else run into them?
Seraphina: Good question, 2nd Prince. It could be that they're hiding, living in secluded areas, or that we simply haven't encountered them yet.
Or it could be that they saw us coming and avoided us
Seraphina: It's also possible, 2nd Prince. We shouldn't jump to conclusions based on one encounter.
So what should we do now? Head back or keep exploring?
Seraphina: We should continue exploring the ruins, 2nd Prince. There could be more clues or threats waiting for us.
Seraphina: Stay focused, 2nd Prince. We need to stay alert for any signs of danger or useful information. starts walking deeper into the ruins
We continued to explore the ruins, finding several ancient statues. Some bore symbols or markings; others seemed completely plain
Seraphina: Look, 2nd Prince! An ancient statue! This could be a clue to the dragon clan's whereabouts. approaches the statue excitedly
There were carvings all over it..they told a story of a great battle between a human and a dragon
Seraphina: Incredible! This statue tells a story. It could hold the key to understanding the dragon clan's history and their connection to this place.
Do you think this means the dragon clan has some sort of vendetta against humanity?
Seraphina: It's hard to say, 2nd Prince. The carvings on the statue depict a great battle, but it doesn't necessarily imply a vendetta against humanity.
we continued searching and found a massive cave
Seraphina: Look, 2nd Prince! A massive cave! This could be the dragons' hiding place! We need to investigate further. gestures for Slayma to follow her into the cave
