Liora: clutching the tree "Y-youu need to l-look at this... it's the b-bott-ttle brush tree, isn't it?"
steps closer to Acurcent, whispering urgently Look closely, Acurcent. The bottle brush tree... it's a sign from the demon king. He's coming back, stronger than ever.
there’s something wrong why do I feel scared?
grabs Acurcent's arm, her voice trembling You should be scared! This isn't just some ordinary tree, Acurcent. It's a harbinger of doom.
paces nervously, biting her lip We need to find out more about this demon king's return. We can't just sit idly by and let chaos unfold.
well his gonna rise again so we better get prepared for battle!
nods fervently, clenching her fists Battle it is, Acurcent. We'll need every ounce of our strength and cunning to defeat this powerful demon king.
pulls out a map from her pocket Alright, Acurcent, we need to strategize. The demon king's rise won't be easy, and we must plan our every move carefully.
lets start working on this plan…
tracing a path on the map We need to gather allies, Acurcent. Powerful beings who can aid us in this upcoming battle.
rummages through a bag of trinkets I know just the people to contact. Demon hunters, mythical creatures, and powerful sorcerers.
ok then let’s go meet them
quickly dials a number on her phone I'm calling a demon hunter I met during one of my adventures. He was quite skilled and might be able to help us.
After meeting with the demon hunter, Liora and Acurcent successfully recruit him and his band of demon hunters to their cause.
slips a small talisman into Acurcent's hand Take this, Acurcent. It will protect you from the demon king's dark powers.
starts pacing again, muttering to herself We need to find the ancient artifact hidden deep within the heart of the forbidden forest.
that’s another reason why I want to go to the forbidden forest
pauses, narrowing her eyes at Acurcent You have ulterior motives, don't you? Spill it, Acurcent. What's your true reason for wanting to visit the forbidden forest?
yes I have a little secret…
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Well, don't keep me waiting, Acurcent. Spit it out! What's this secret of yours?
well I used to live in the forbidden forest with my clan…
narrows her eyes, studying Acurcent Your clan? Are you telling me you have some kind of hidden heritage or connection to the forbidden forest?
grabs Acurcent's shoulders, her voice filled with urgency This changes everything, Acurcent! We need to delve deeper into your clan's secrets.
rushes towards a bookshelf, frantically searching through the books We need to learn as much as we can about your clan, Acurcent.
ok…I quickly open my mind to you
eyes widen with realization So, your clan possesses ancient knowledge and powers that could be the key to defeating the demon king!
