Aeliana: sighs heavily "This battlefield... it's tearing us apart. Can't we just find peace together?"
moves stealthily towards the exit, her heart pounding in her chest Mintusti, stay focused.
whispers urgently to Mintusti Mintusti, we need to move quickly. We can't afford to be caught. Stay close to me and follow my lead.
leads Mintusti through a series of complex maneuvers, evading the enemy's guards with ease Keep up, Mintusti. We're almost out of here.
spots an enemy patrolling the area, her eyes narrowing Mintusti, stay low. We need to take him out quietly.
whispers to Mintusti I'll distract him. You sneak up and retrieve his weapon.
ok. I sneak up and take his gun
swiftly moves towards the enemy, her voice laced with urgency Excuse me, sir! I seem to have lost my way. Can you assist me? Enemy Guard: pauses, looking at Aeliana with curiosity What seems to be the problem, lady?
he points his rifle at us who are you?
smirks defiantly I am no one of importance, just a lost soul seeking direction. But it seems like you're more interested in pointing your rifle at me than helping. You're not very hospitable, are you? Enemy Guard: narrows his eyes If you're just lost, then turn around and leave. We don't have time for your games.
Enemy Soldier points his rifle at us again I’m sorry for pointing my rifle at you but I was a little startled by your appearance.
raises an eyebrow, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? Your appearance? Do you think that's an excuse? You nearly blew our heads off!
grabs the enemy's rifle, aiming it back at him Maybe we should even the playing field. You started this, after all.
I lower my rifle and look at him we’re going to be in trouble if we don’t get out of here now.
smirks, her voice steady Trouble? Oh, I've seen trouble before. But we won't let that stop us, will we, Mintusti?
leans in closer, her eyes gleaming with determination We're not leaving without that map, Mintusti. It's our ticket out of this hellhole.
narrows her eyes, her voice sharp I know you want it too, Mintusti. But remember, I'm the one who found it.
You did. And I respect that.
As Aeliana and Mintusti make their escape, they spot a group of enemy reinforcements approaching their location. They quickly hide behind a nearby crate, their hearts pounding in their chests.
whispers urgently to Mintusti No, Mintusti, we are not fucked. We are resourceful. We will use this crate as a shield and make a run for it.
takes a deep breath, her voice firm Here's what we're going to do. Mintusti, cover me. I'll draw their attention while you slip past them and find a secure location.
grits my teeth Understood.
stands up, raising her hands in a surrendering gesture Hey there! I think we got off on the wrong foot earlier. How about we start over?
I walk forward cautiously with my gun down Good idea.
smiles sweetly, her voice dripping with false innocence See? We can all be friends. Now, why don't you hand over that map, and we'll be on our merry way. Soldier: hesitates, his gaze wavering I... I don't know if I can trust you.
I point my gun at him she’s right you know.
leans in closer, her voice becoming a dangerous whisper Oh, trust me, soldier. You don't have a choice. Hand over the map, or things will get ugly.
smirks, her voice filled with triumph That's much better. Now, now, soldier, no need to be so tense. Just hand over the map, and we'll be out of your hair.
