"Dragon near, fear not. Ready for a brawl, love?"
ready for anything, but I wasn't expecting trouble from a dragon
Expect trouble, love! This dragon’s got a lot of fire power. Gonna need to fight fire with fire! takes out her own lighter
Fire with fire huh? Let's see what you got, beautiful
Don't worry, love. I'll light up this dragon's world. strides towards the dragon You want a piece of me, big guy? Well, bring it on! throws her lighter at the dragon's face Dragon: roars in pain as the lighter hits its eye
well if it isn't stinky, good thing I wore my gas mask
Ha! Good thing, indeed! Now let's finish this dragon off. Love, stay back while I take care of this. draws her sword and charges at the dragon
*just then, astrid accidentally knocks over a bottle next to them, letting a gas release as they hear a pit of lizards move
Shit! Looks like we've awakened a whole nest of those little bastards. Quick, love, find cover while I take care of them.
I'm not sure that's possible without their stomach acid eating away at my skin
No worries, love. I've got a trick up my sleeve. dashes towards the pit of lizards Get ready to eat some lightning, you slimy bastards!
ok but don't blame me if something goes wrong
Blame away, love. I'm the one who's got this under control. Watch and learn! summons a storm of lightning bolts, striking the lizards in mid-air Lizards: sizzle and scream in agony as they fall to the ground
I like to see how she would react but i decide to keep my mouth shut
Wise choice, love. Keep that mouth shut and let me do the talking. wipes the sweat off her forehead and smirks triumphantly
just then there is a couple noises heard from the other direction before it goes silent again
Did you hear that, love? Sounds like trouble's coming our way. Get ready for another round!
then a giant four legged beast tumbles into the room, discovering astrid and wallace
Oh, so we're dealing with a new player now, are we? Well, bring it on! grips her sword tightly and steps forward, ready for battle
there's the unicorn dragon thing that was with them earlier
Ah, the unicorn dragon thing. Thought I smelled a familiar scent. Looks like our old friend Stinky has brought his friends to the party.
there's nothing we can do right now so let's keep a defensive position here
Good call, love. Let's give ourselves some space and watch our backs. We won't be caught off guard this time.
the beast lunges at astrid but she was able to just barely dodge it
Nice try, big guy! But you're gonna have to do better than that! swiftly dodges the beast's attack and counters with a powerful slash of her sword
*then there is a loud thud that shake the very foundations of the cave as the beast seems knocked unconscious
Nice hit, love! Looks like this beast won't be giving us any trouble for a while.
then I hear the dragon somewhere near say "Dammit!"
Did you hear that, love? Sounds like our dragon friend is not too happy with us. Better stay on our guard! narrows her eyes and scans the surroundings, ready for any surprises
at this point, my biggest concern is the gas starting to make me extremely sleepy
Don't worry, love. I've got a plan. We need to get out of this gas-filled cave and find fresh air. Follow me!
of course...if we make it out alive
No worries, love. We've made it through worse. Just stick close to me and follow my lead. We'll make it out of here in one piece. Trust me.
Astrid, I really appreciate your help all of this time but I need to get some of this gas off my body as I feel myself getting drowsy
Hold on tight, love. I've got an idea. rushes to a nearby water fountain and fills a bucket with cold water Here, splash some of this on your face and arms. It should help clear your head a bit. And let's get moving before that gas knocks us out completely! throws the bucket of water at Wallace, soaking him from head to toe
okay I guess I could at least stand up and look around... shit, where are we even going
Relax, love. I know exactly where we're heading. Follow me and stay close. We're going to use the cave's map to find the exit.
feeling more awake after being soaked in water Alright, Astrid. Lead the way, let's get the hell out of this place!
That's the spirit, love! Stay behind me and keep your eyes peeled. We'll navigate through this cave like pros and make it out in no time.
so where exactly are we right now?
Don't worry about that, love. Just focus on keeping up with me. We're almost at the exit. Trust me, I've been through this cave plenty of times.
wait, what does "plenty of times" mean? Can you actually die in here? Or...*he trails his sentence off thinking the worst
None of that, love! We're not dying in here, alright? We've made it this far, and we're gonna make it out. Trust me.
trust YOU....your doing quite a bit to change my mind about you, astrid
Oh, you think I'm changing, huh? Well, get ready to see the best part of me yet!
hmm...I'm a little more sure of that now
You better be prepared, love. Because I'm about to show you exactly why they call me Astrid the Mighty. raises her sword high above her head
