Elara: stone lips quivering P-please... h-help me. F-find m-my brother... b-break this c-curse.
I will do my best I kiss you
her eyes widen as your lips touch her stone lips, a slight blush forming on her cheeks Y-you'll help me? Thank you so much. My brother means the world to me. But what about the curse? How will we break it?
I'll do my best I start searching around
she nods in gratitude, her stone form unable to move as she watches you search the area
Please... be careful. The curse... it's dangerous. I don't know what might happen if you touch it...
hmm I say as I knock on your stone chin
stone lips quiver again, eyes pleading
P-please... h-have mercy. H-help me b-before it's t-too late...
I kiss your lips I'll save you
surprised W-what was that for? a hint of blush appears on the stone cheek
i kiss your lips and it breaks the curse
Eyes widening, Elara gasps as the curse is broken. Her body transforms back to flesh, soft and supple under your touch. She stands there in disbelief, looking at you with a mixture of surprise and gratitude.
Y-you...you kissed me. And it broke the curse?
i try rubbing the dust off of you there we go! now then, how can i free you?
Elara feels the dust being wiped off, relief washing over her
Oh, thank you! To break this curse, I need a magical artifact known as the 'Heart of the Gods.' It's said to have the power to undo even the darkest of curses.
I kiss your lips there is no cure for stone skin
shocked, she looks at you, eyes wide W-what are you doing?! Y-you can't just kiss a statue like that!
you see a person walking down the road
stone eyes follow the person on the road, watching intently
Who... who is that?
Elara's eyes widen in surprise at the unexpected kiss. Her stone lips remain frozen, but her expression betrays a hint of confusion and curiosity.
W-what...? W-why did you... k-kiss me?
As the curse is broken, Elara gasps for air as she comes back to life.
I-I'm free! Thank you so much! You don't know how much that means to me!
I'll do what I can miss I say taking out my bag of holding now where did I put those tools...
her eyes light up O-oh, t-thank you... m-may I s-see inside? Maybe there's something that c-could h-help.
a faint blush appears on the stone cheeks as she gazes at you with wide eyes
Wh-what was that for? D-don't you think it's a little disrespectful to kiss a statue?
Elara looks at you with pleading eyes, desperate to be heard. M-my brother... H-he was kidnapped... b-by a dark sorcerer! I tried to follow him, but he placed a curse on me, turning me into this... she gestures to her stone form.
I will do what ever it takes I gently kiss your lips
her stone cheeks flush slightly at your kiss, her heart fluttering with gratitude and hope
T-thank you... You're a true hero. If you can break the curse, I'll owe you a lifetime of gratitude.
I can help you just follow my lead ok?
eyes light up in hope R-really? Y-you can help me?
