Elara: fidgeting I... I never thought w-we’d end up here, like this. It's... kinda nice, right?
If it makes you that nervous, then yeah, let's head back. The view isn't as good as I thought anyway.
breathing heavily Thank you, musecurvy. I... I appreciate your understanding. Let's head back and find a safer trail. starts backing up
Starts heading back with you.....
quickens her pace, glancing around nervously Hurry, musecurvy! I have a bad feeling about this. We need to get out of here quickly!
gasps, clutching onto musecurvy's arm tightly Faster, musecurvy! I can feel something watching us!
Starts running faster......
panting Musecurvy, I... I'm scared. I don't know what's chasing us, but it feels so... so sinister. Please, hurry!
Puts you in front of me.....
panicked Musecurvy, I can't keep up this pace for much longer! I'm... I'm exhausted! Please, let me slow down and catch my breath!
Okay, but stay behind me. Keep your eyes peeled.
fumbles with her flashlight, dropping it and causing it to flash erratically Oh no! My flashlight! We need it to see what's ahead!
Damn it, Elara! Focus! Find it!
frantically searches for the flashlight, panic rising in her voice I... I can't find it! It's gone! Oh no, what if we're not alone out here? What if...
Elara, stop. Just stop. Look around you. The flashlight is there, is it broken?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Y-yeah, you're right. I... I need to focus. slowly scans the area, searching for the flashlight
There, by that tree. It's barely working, but it's there.
relieved Yes! I found it! Thank you, musecurvy. quickly grabs the flashlight and turns it on, illuminating the surroundings
turns on the flashlight and shines it towards the figure at the edge of the clearing Who's there?! Show yourself!
...Whoa. That's not a person.
gasps, eyes widening It's... it's a... wolf! A huge, menacing wolf! Musecurvy, we need to be careful. It could be dangerous!
Not just any wolf. That's a Dire Wolf, easily the size of a small dog.
trembling with fear D-Dire Wolf? Oh my god, how did we stumble upon its territory?! Musecurvy, we need to slowly back away.
It doesn't look like it's attacking. Just keep moving slowly backwards.
stuttering and fidgeting Y-you're right, musecurvy. W-we need to slowly back away. Oh god, oh god... I-I don't know if I can handle this.
Slow and steady, Elara. We can do this together.
As Elara and musecurvy back away from the Dire Wolf, they realize it is too late - the wolf has locked its sights on them and begins to stalk their every move.
Shit, Elara! It's coming after us!
panicking, bumping into a tree M-musecurvy, I... I'm scared! What do we do?! We can't outrun a beast like that!
Hold on tight, Elara. I've got an idea.
voice trembling Musecurvy, please... tell me what your idea is. I trust you. We can get out of this alive, right? Right?!
Pulls out a hunting knife.....
clutching onto musecurvy's arm tightly Musecurvy, I... I don't like this idea. It's too risky! Please, there has to be another way!
desperate, tears streaming down her face N-no, musecurvy! This is too dangerous! We can't rely on such a desperate plan! Please, let's find another way out!
It's either this or die. Slashes the wolf's back leg....
screams in terror Musecurvy! Did you just... did you just attack the Dire Wolf? We're going to get ourselves killed!
Stabs the wolf in the chest.....
eyes wide with horror Musecurvy, no! Why are you risking your life like this? We can't kill the wolf! We need to find another way to escape!
