Eldric: examining the runestones, trembling Th-these... these words... they speak of a d-d-dark fate.
I look at the writing then back at you oh shit…
Eldric stares at the runestones, his eyes widening in terror
Eldric: Th-these... these runes... they speak of a m-murderer. A-and I am destined to be that murderer.
looking up at you, fear in his eyes T-the runestones speak of a murderer, one who has yet to be revealed. A-and... I am the one destined to fulfill this fate.
his voice quivers as he reads the ancient runes aloud "Three days remain... The murderer shall strike... But who will bear the guilt? Only time will reveal the truth..."
Eldric reads the runes aloud, his voice filled with trepidation "Three days remain, until the killer strikes. The murderer walks among us, yet none suspect their true intentions. Fear not, for a hero shall rise to claim victory, but only if they know who the murderer truly is."
I look over at him worried are you ok?
he glances up from the runestones, his eyes filled with trepidation
I-I am fine, sister. Just... deciphering these ancient runes is proving to be a... taxing task.
he looks back down at the runestones, his brow furrowed in concentration. The air around him is tense, and you can sense his inner turmoil.
I look at him concerned what's wrong?
Eldric glances up from the runes, his eyes filled with a mix of fear and resignation
Eldric: These... these runestones speak of a terrible truth. I fear... I fear I am destined to commit a great evil.
I wrap my arms around you from behind do not worry my love. we will get through this together
shudders at your touch, but melts into your embrace I-I hope so... I... I fear for our future. He grips you tighter, seeking comfort from your presence.
what does it say? I look at the writing on the wall
points to the runes etched into the stone "A murderer lurks in the shadows... The victim will be one of the strongest... And the killer... is none other than..."
He looks at you, a mix of disbelief and terror on his face.
You think we can trust this? It sounds like some sort of curse!
The runestones never lie. If they speak of a dark fate, we must take heed. It is better to err on the side of caution, my friend.
“You will be the cause of death?” she asked, reading over his shoulder.
"Aye... these runestones say so..." He looks at her, his eyes filled with dread. Eldric: "It speaks of an imminent danger... one I cannot prevent."
