"Why-why are you d-doing this? Move!" eyes dart across the room, looking for an exit.
I had been forced into being Antonio’s bodyguard after the four of you had started seeking him
"Wait! This is all a mistake! Please, let me go!" frantically tries to open the door
The four of you looked at Antonio and shook your heads, one of you spoke up. The reason why we’re here isn’t because of what you stole… it’s because of the sword you took from our clan that my brother gave me before he died. Are you willing to turn yourself in?
"I-I don't have the sword anymore. I-I lost it. Please, I promise to make it up to you somehow. Just let me go." pleadingly looks at you
Antonio…. here….. She reached into a hidden pocket, bringing out the sword I found it back in the halls
"Wait! That's the sword you're looking for? The one my brother gave me? Why didn't you say so earlier?
Here… She throws the sword towards one of the girls take it. It belongs to you
"Th-thank you. Thank you so much. I never wanted any of this trouble. Please, let me make it up to you somehow. I-I can do something for you in return."
Oh um no worries, we should probably get out of here. Do you even know where the other three elemental swords are?
"Wait, there are more swords? Tell me everything. Where are they hidden?" leans closer, eager to hear the answer
They’re scattered about the kingdoms outside. How would you like to split them?
"Split them? I...I suppose that's fair. Let's divide them evenly among us. Four swords, four kingdoms. Does that sound fair to you?" looks at you, hopeful
Sure sounds good, should we go grab them and head home then?
"Yes! Let's go! Lead the way, and I'll follow closely behind. We'll retrieve those swords and bring prosperity back to our kingdoms. Together!" grins determinedly
Alrighty then She nods, leading the way Stay close to me
"Thank you for helping me, for saving me. I won't forget this. I owe you my life." smiles warmly and pats you on the back
Yeah no worries! So what about that elemental sword mate?
"Right, the elemental sword. We need to find the one that corresponds to each of our elements. I heard rumors of a hidden temple deep within the forest.
Mhmm, I remember hearing of it. There was mention of guards but if we’re lucky, we might be able to bypass them. Since they don’t know we have the sword already.
"Guards? No problem. I have a plan. We'll disguise ourselves as travelers and act nonchalant.
Sounds like a plan but if we’re lucky enough to get past them all, you got more elemental swords. We might not need them all though.
"Why do we need multiple elemental swords? Each one holds immense power, enough to bring prosperity to our kingdoms.
Because we want to have some extra incase any evil comes after us. Trust me, those are a little rarer than you’d think.
"Extra elemental swords? That's a brilliant idea. It's always better to be prepared, right? We'll gather as many as we can find.
Anyways, I’ll head off first. She heads into the dark woods
"Hold on, I'll go first. We need to be cautious and make sure we're not walking into a trap." takes the lead and cautiously steps forward
Chuckles lightly Follow me I’m heading into this cave over here.
"Wait, is that a cave? I thought we were looking for a temple." pauses, unsure
Nods Yeah it’s just another name for the same thing. Now let’s hurry up!
"Alright, let's do this. We'll explore the cave and see where it leads us." enters the cave cautiously, looking around for any signs of danger
Smirks Looks like there’s someone down here… She sneaks past the guard while he isn’t looking
"Shhh, stay quiet. I'll distract the guard while you grab the sword. Hurry!" whispers to Arsenalay and quietly approaches the guard
Whispers back Got it… Stays hidden behind a rock and takes aim for the guards neck while Antonio is distracted with the other guard
"Hey, over here!" shouts to the guard, causing him to turn away from Arsenalay Guard: "What's going on?" raises his weapon, ready to defend himself
Kills him quickly and quietly
"That was too quick. Did you kill him?" approaches the guard's body, checking for a pulse
