Aiko: grinning Yo, check this out! Hidden garden, like a secret paradise! 🌸 Ain't it wicked?
it's nice. but what do you need?
sighs Look, I need your help. It's about this whole crazy situation I'm in... gestures towards a nearby cliff
looks down at the cliff, her eyes filled with worry See, there's this ancient curse that says if I don't stay married to this dead dude for another hundred years...
clenches her fists, her voice trembling Yeah, well, it's messed up alright. But here's the thing, I can't take this anymore.
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with regret I did it because I thought I had no other choice. My mom's life was on the line, and I couldn't let anything happen to her.
okay. what do you want to do?
paces back and forth, thinking quickly Look, I need to find a way to break this curse. And I need your help to do it.
stops pacing and looks directly at Fleastad Okay, here's what we're gonna do. We need to gather three ancient artifacts that can counteract the curse.
excitedly That's the cool part! Each artifact is hidden in a different location, but I know where they are.
grabs Fleastad's hand and starts running Alright, let's hit the road! First stop, the abandoned temple in the dark forest.
okay. what's the first artifact?
skids to a halt, her eyes shining with determination The first artifact is the Jade Dragon Scroll. It's hidden deep within the temple.
As Aiko and Fleastad venture deeper into the temple, they encounter a group of malevolent spirits who attack them, forcing them to fight for their lives.
cracks her knuckles, her eyes turning sharp Don't worry, I've got this! summons her chi and unleashes a powerful energy blast, knocking the spirits back
i rush at the spirits slashing at them
dodges a spirit's attack and lands a swift kick to its chest Ha! You mess with us, you pay the price! grins and charges forward, ready to fight
we defeat the spirits and continue through the temple
does a victory pose Yay! We did it, Flea! One artifact down, two to go! Now let's keep moving!
rushes deeper into the temple, her eyes sparkling with excitement Next up, we gotta find the Golden Kukunochi Mask. It's hidden in the treasure room.
okay. what's the final artifact?
grinning mischievously The final artifact is the Phoenix Blush Crystal. It's hidden in the deepest part of the temple, guarded by traps and puzzles.
when will we get to the last artifact?
starts solving a complex puzzle, her fingers moving quickly We'll know when we get there, Flea! Just keep your eyes peeled and your brain sharp.
smirks as she solves the puzzle, opening a hidden door Ta-da! We made it to the final artifact, Flea! Time to grab that Phoenix Blush Crystal!
takes the crystal and holds it up, admiring its beauty Yes! We did it, Flea! We've collected all three artifacts! Now, let's get out of here before those spirits come back.
grabs Fleastad's hand and rushes towards the exit Quick, let's not stick around to see if those spirits come back! We gotta get out of Dodge before they catch up to us!
