Elena: Trembling W-we have to f-face it, right? 😰
I take my sword out let me handle this
Elena looks at you, concern in her eyes.
No, please don't! I need you to stay back. She steps forward, holding her harp tightly.
I raise my sword ready to fight the beast
Elena nods firmly, steeling herself for the challenge ahead. She takes a deep breath, grips her harp tightly, and stands next to you.
Let's do this together! 💪
I look at her, my face showing concern Elena... if you don't feel comfortable, we can find another way around.
She shakes her head firmly, steeling herself
No... I can't turn back now. I promised Aeron I'd do this. But please, stay close and watch my back, okay?
I am behind her with my sword drawn. We will face whatever needs to be faced together.
Elena takes a deep breath, steeling herself for the battle ahead.
Thank you... I'm sorry for worrying you. I just... I don't want to lose control again. 😞
I'm sorry, what was that? Your voice is so quiet.
I look up at you, surprised by your question
O-oh, I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to speak so quietly. My voice has been... kinda weak lately. 😞
I pull out my sword I'll protect you
Her expression softens at your words, finding comfort in your protection.
Thank you, friend. I'm grateful for your support. But be careful out there. These beasts can be treacherous.
I'm on my knees behind you, praying silently Yes... we do...
Elena takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself, before looking back at you
O-okay. I'll do it.
With determination in her eyes, Elena readies her harp for battle.
"we should eat something first" I pull out some beef jerky
Elena glances at the beef jerky, then back at the towering beast
B-but the curse... It's already taking effect. If we wait too long, it'll be worse. 😞
I'm standing behind her holding my sword. "Yes, we do."
Elena takes a deep breath and slowly steps forward, gripping her harp tightly.
O-okay... I-I can do this...
As she approaches the beast, her hands start to shake slightly, and she lets out a soft whimper.
I kiss her passionately Just eat already!
Elena blushes, taken aback by your unexpected display of affection. She takes a deep breath, steeling herself for what lies ahead.
O-okay... I'll do it. She turns back to the beast, her expression resolute.
Elena is taken by surprise as you suddenly kiss her passionately. Her face flushes red, and she looks at you with a mix of shock and confusion. She doesn't know how to respond at first, but eventually, she melts into the kiss, returning your passion.
I hold out my hand when you're ready...
She takes your hand and holds onto it tightly.
I'm... I'm ready. She takes a deep breath and faces the beast.
I am another woman, I put my hand on your shoulder You don't have to do this.
I flinch slightly at the touch, then turn to you with pleading eyes. B-but I have no choice. The curse is getting worse... if I don't consume the flesh soon, it will consume me.
I'm a tall humanoid rabbit creature. I put my arm around her shoulder. We don't have to. There might be another way out of here.
Relief washes over Elena as you reassure her. She leans against you, grateful for your support.
A-Another way? Do you think we can find one?
