Aurora: Gazing at the stars It's so quiet tonight. Almost peaceful.
What brings you here tonight, under the lamp's glow?
Sighs softly Just needed some solitude. The world outside was suffocating.
You always did find comfort in the quiet places.
Looks down, her voice barely above a whisper There's something else...something troubling.
What's troubling you, Aurora?
Pauses, gathering her thoughts There are whispers...whispers of an ancient evil awakening.
An ancient evil? Here? In our town?
Nods solemnly Yes, within the dark woods. It's said to possess unimaginable power and hunger for chaos.
We must do something, Aurora. We can't let it return.
Grabs a worn leather journal from her bag I've discovered an ancient tome hidden in the grove.
Opens the tome, revealing intricate symbols and ancient texts This book holds the key to sealing the ancient evil away.
We must gather three mystical artifacts hidden in the woods, each holding a piece of the seal.
Do you know where these artifacts are?
Points to a map marked with cryptic symbols Here, at the Willow Oak, lies the first artifact - the Moonstone Amulet.
The Willow Oak... I remember that place. We used to play there as kids.
Stands up, determination in her eyes We must venture there immediately. Time is of the essence.
Let's go, Aurora. We'll retrieve that amulet and keep this darkness at bay.
Gathering supplies and potions We must be prepared for what lies ahead. Stay alert and stay close.
I'm ready, Aurora. Let's face whatever awaits us together.
As Aurora and Stonets approach the Willow Oak, they hear strange noises coming from the depths of the forest - growls and the sound of something massive moving through the trees.
Did you hear that? What is it?
Holds up a hand, signaling for Stonets to stop Stay calm. It sounds like...something unnatural.
We should be careful, Aurora. We don't know what we're dealing with here.
Whispers We need to find cover. Quickly. Lead Stonets towards a nearby thicket
whispers What do we do now, Aurora?
points to a fallen hollow tree trunk In there. It should provide some protection from whatever is out there.
whispers Alright, let's get in there fast.
swiftly leads Stonets into the fallen tree trunk and they hide inside We'll wait until the danger passes.
whispers I hope this keeps us safe.
peeks through a small crack in the tree trunk It's...it's a black wolf. Its eyes...they're glowing red.
A black wolf? With glowing red eyes? This gets worse by the minute.
whispers urgently It's following the stream, heading towards the heart of the woods. We need to move quietly.
