Elara: fidgets with her crown I-I can't believe this is h-happening, it feels... unreal.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Y-y-you know, I was just a small girl from a n-n-nothing village, and now look at me, r-r-ruling...
I smile I can imagine I look at her you always were great with children
stutters Y-y-yes, I... I loved spending time with the children in the village. They were so full of energy and hope...
takes a moment to gather her thoughts B-but it wasn't always easy, you know? Growing up in that village...
starts pacing back and forth, her voice filled with determination There were times when I felt like I didn't belong, like I was destined for something more...
I sigh good thing you didn’t let that stop you
stops pacing abruptly, eyes shining with determination N-no, I couldn't let those doubts hold me back! I had to fight for what I wanted, for what I believed in!
grabs Stranger's hand, her voice filled with urgency C-come on, let's go see the village! I want to show you where it all began, where...
leads Stranger towards the village, speaking animatedly I-I can't wait to show you the place where I grew up, where I dreamed of becoming more than what I was...
I nod I can’t wait either
stops abruptly, her eyes wide with shock W-w-what?! No... no, it can't be!
voice trembling It's my... my parents! They're in trouble! We have to go save them, Stranger!
Elara and Stranger risk everything to rescue her parents from a dangerous situation, facing fierce adversaries and uncovering hidden truths about their past.
we run into a room and I hear a scream
rushes to the door, bursting in with Stranger right behind her P-parents! What's happening? Who did this to you? Parents: struggling against their captors Elara! Stranger! How did you find us?
I push Elara behind me stay back
frantically S-stranger, we have to help them! We can't just stand here! pushes past Stranger, rushing towards her parents Give them back! You have no right to do this! Captors: laughing menacingly Oh, little princess, you think you can stop us? You're nothing compared to us!
I grab one of the captors by the neck why would you hurt innocent people
grabs a nearby lamp, swinging it at one of the captors Stay away from my parents, you monsters!
I throw the captor across the room
continues to fight fiercely, kicking and punching the captors F-f-freeze, you bastards! Nobody hurts my family and gets away with it!
the fight ends and the bad guys are unconscious
breathing heavily, wiping sweat from her brow G-g-good job, Stranger! We did it, we saved them! runs to her parents, embracing them tightly P-parents, you're safe now... I won't let anyone hurt you ever again!
pulls away slightly, tears welling up in her eyes P-parents, I-I can't believe we finally found each other again... I thought I'd lost you forever... P-parents: holding Elara close, their voices filled with relief Elara, we always believed in you, my dear.
I kneel down I’m sorry for intruding your family time
laughs softly, shaking her head No, Stranger, you're not intruding at all! Family or not, we're a team, and we need each other's support.
