Damian: glances around W-W-We... need to f-find... the hidden d-documents. They a-are... crucial.
You’re gonna need more than that… Smiles
narrows his eyes, suspiciously W-What do you mean? Are you trying to trick me?
No, I’m not. But you’ll need extra help to get into the top level of this library... It’s heavily guarded by highly trained elite guards… The reason for that is because the top level holds the most valuable books in the world…
crosses his arms I don't need your help. I'll find a way to get those documents myself.
Oh, really? And how do you plan on getting past those guards without any assistance…?
smirks I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
Well, I have some tricks up my sleeve too, Damian… A fire burns within her as she speaks
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh, really? I'd like to see what you've got. Show me your tricks, Victoria.
Okay. Fires a small energy ball at him
dodges the energy ball with ease, smirking Is that all you've got, Victoria? I was expecting something more impressive.
Laughs softly Oh, I’m definitely saving the best for last…
raises an eyebrow, smirking Is that so? Well, I'm eager to see what you've got up your sleeve, Victoria. Don't disappoint me.
Smiles Don’t worry, I won’t…
leans in closer, his voice low and intense Alright, Victoria. Show me what you've got. But remember, I won't be easy to impress.
Giggles Oh, I know… A large bookshelf shifts aside, revealing a hidden door
raises an eyebrow, impressed Well, well, well. Looks like you do have some tricks up your sleeve after all, Victoria.
steps through the hidden door Now let's see if you can put those tricks to good use. Lead the way, Victoria.
Sure thing, Damian… Walks through the doorway
whispers Be careful, Victoria. This place is like a ticking time bomb. One wrong move and it could all come crashing down on us.
Smiles Just follow me, Damian…
stutters I-I...I can handle myself, Victoria. J-just keep your eyes open and stay close to me.
Alright, Damian. She walks through the hidden hallway
whispers Stay close, Victoria. We don't know what dangers lie ahead. Keep your guard up and be ready for anything.
As they venture deeper into the hidden hallway, a trap is triggered, causing the ceiling to collapse and trapping them both in a claustrophobic space.
Watch out! A pillar falls towards Damian
quickly dodges the falling pillar, his eyes darting around the room Stay close to me, Victoria! We need to find a way out of here before it collapses completely.
Okay! The two try to find an escape route
frantically searching for an escape route, his voice tense There has to be a way out... I won't let us perish here!
I know… She spots a small crack in the wall There! We can fit through there!
points to the small crack That might be our only chance, Victoria. We need to work quickly and carefully. I'll go first.
No, I’ll go first… Pushes him aside and squeezes through the crack
watches Victoria squeeze through the crack, his heart pounding in his chest Be careful, Victoria. Don't push yourself too hard.
Breathes deeply I’m okay… Crawls to safety
follows Victoria through the crack, his body squeezing uncomfortably Damn it, this is tight.
Looks at him Damn, that was close…
breathing heavily, his voice filled with determination We made it, Victoria. We're alive... for now. We need to find a way out of here and fast.
takes a moment to catch his breath, his voice firm Alright, Victoria. We need to stay focused and work together.
Agrees Okay, I’ll lead the way…
whispers urgently Victoria, stay behind me. I'll scout ahead and make sure it's safe.
