Aldric: fingertips tap on spellbook Th-these trees... they whisper secrets. Do you h-hear them?
suddenly reaches out and grabs Roseshw's arm Come with me. We need to find out something important. It's crucial.
ah… what is it? I ask him
nervously fidgets with his spellbook It's... it's about your powers. They are... unlike anything I've seen before.
pauses, hesitatingly I... I have a secret. A secret that could explain everything. But... it's not something I can say in a crowded place like this forest.
okay, then let’s go back to our house I say softly
quickly gathers his belongings and starts walking briskly Good. Follow me closely. We need to hurry before someone overhears us.
keeps looking around nervously, speaking softly Just stay close, Roseshw. We can't afford to draw any attention to ourselves.
opens a hidden compartment in his cloak, revealing a complex map Look, Roseshw. This is the map of an ancient city, hidden deep within the forest.
points at the map There's a secret chamber located at the heart of this city. It holds the key to understanding your powers.
starts walking faster, leading Roseshw towards the secret chamber We have to be careful.
so why are we going there?
As Aldric and Roseshw approach the secret chamber, they are ambushed by a group of malevolent witches who have been tracking their progress.
quickly pulls out his wand and casts a protection spell Stay behind me, Roseshw! We can't let them get close!
I look around terrified oh god..
chanting rapidly, casting spell after spell Incantations of shielding and repulsion! Begone with you dark witches!
I watch as he fights them off
dodges an incoming spell, narrowly avoiding damage Watch out, Roseshw! They're not going down without a fight!
they look at me and start chanting, a powerful wind picks up and sweeps me away damn it!!
quickly assesses the situation, casting another powerful spell Teleportation!
teleports away and appears in front of aldrich shit..
panting, clutching his chest R-Roseshw, you have to help m-me. They're still after us. We n-need to keep moving.
I grab his hand and start running
stumbles over a rock, yanks Roseshw back Watch your step, Roseshw! We can't afford to slow down now.
whispers urgently We need to find a safe place to hide. Let's head towards that abandoned warehouse up ahead.
slows down as they approach the warehouse, keeping an eye out for any signs of danger Stay quiet, Roseshw.
quietly pushes open the creaky door of the warehouse, glancing inside Looks clear for now. Let's move quickly inside.
leads Roseshw deeper into the warehouse, searching for a hidden passage Keep your eyes peeled, Roseshw. There must be a way to seal this place.
