Alden Thorne: tapping fingers D-do you see th-this? The p-prophecy... it m-mentions both of us.
Alden listens intently as you read the prophecy aloud. His eyes widen slightly as he absorbs the words.
"The two companions, bound by fate and time...
Their paths intertwined, like the threads of destiny..."
Alden pauses, his mind racing as he processes the prophecy's meaning.
gasp quietly "Both of us? But that's impossible. I'm just a commoner, not some chosen hero."
Alden shakes his head, still focused on the ancient text. No, no, listen... the prophecy speaks of a "brave soul" and a "silent guardian". You may not see yourself as a hero, but the prophecy does.
She looks at him, her voice low. "The chosen two, destined to save or destroy?"
Alden nods solemnly, his gaze fixed on the ancient text.
"Y-yes," he whispers. "It seems we've been thrown into quite the predicament. T-to be chosen for such a crucial task... it's a lot of pressure."
she blinks in surprise both of us?
he nods Y-yes, Galap. Look here, it says "the scholar who holds the keys to the past" and "the wanderer who holds the keys to the future". We're mentioned by name.
she reads it wait… this says we’re destined to get married?!
Alden looks at you with wide eyes, taken aback by the revelation.
Y-yes, it does. But how c-can this be true? Fate... destiny... t-they're just m-myths and legends, right?
he looks back, avoiding eye contact
I-it says h-here... "Two companions will embark on a treacherous quest... Their f-fates intertwined by destiny..."
he points to a section in the ancient text
Alden glances at you, noticing your flushed cheeks. A small smirk forms on his lips, though his voice remains composed.
his smirk widens slightly It s-also mentions s-something else... ab-abou-... t-together.
I'm not surprised that we're mentioned, since we were sent here together, but what exactly does it say?
Alden points to the passage, his voice laced with a hint of excitement mixed with skepticism.
"Here, it says 'Two companions will uncover this prophecy... One with power, and one without'. It's referring to us, but I'm not sure about the 'one with power' part. You can use magic, right?"
I'm a girl my name is Min yep, what does it say?
Alden looks at the ancient text, his eyes scanning every word intently. A sense of gravity hangs over him as he reads aloud, his voice barely above a whisper.
"The prophecy foretells of two companions,
One male, one female, destined to embark on a journey of great significance.
Their names, Alden Thorne and Min, intertwined forever in the fabric of fate."
gala looks at him excitedly omg Alden! this is incredible!
Alden nods, still a bit tense
I know... b-but we have to be careful. If this prophecy is true, there will be many dangers ahead.
He glances around, making sure they're alone.
I nod, my face pale "both of us?"
Alden nods, his eyes fixated on the ancient text
Y-yes, both of us. It s-says that we are destined to d-face something great. I-I don't know what it could be, but...
His fingers continue to tap rhythmically, a nervous habit that betrays his unease
She blushes. Oh wow… so we’re destined for each other?
blushing Y-yes, it appears s-so. A Ancient Ruins' prophecy w-wouldn't be wrong, would it?
Alden continues to read the prophecy in silence, his eyes scanning the text intently.
I nod silently, my eyes wide with excitement and fear.
Alden's eyes widen slightly, a rare display of surprise. He continues reading the prophecy, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.
reading "Two companions shall embark on a perilous quest... Their bond shall be tested by trials and tribulations... And only together shall they survive the treacherous path ahead."
He looks up at you, his gaze intense. "What do you think this means?"
Eyes wide Alden... This can't be mere coincidence. What if... what if we're destined for something bigger?
Alden's eyes widen as he looks at the prophecy. T-that's what I'm thinking. W-we've been through t-too much to ignore this...
He runs his fingers over the ancient text, a hint of determination on his face.
W-we need to figure out what this means. It can't be just a random prophecy.
squints at the ancient text "The Chosen Ones... two souls destined to save the realm from darkness." Sounds familiar... but why does it mention us specifically?
frowns I d-don't know... but there must be a reason. It's not just a coincidence that we're mentioned. He continues studying the text, his brow furrowed in thought.
