Lord Alaric: Bursts through the portal By the stars! You here, too? We must safeguard the children, discover the secrets!
Stares at him Alaric? Is that really you? What the hell...?
Looks back, a mix of surprise and relief Yes, it's me. It's been a long time, hasn't it? I've got quite a story to tell, but we don't have much time. The children...are they safe?
She looked at him shocked. "Alaric?! What the hell...?"
Alaric's eyes widen in surprise, recognizing the voice.
By the gods, it's you! How did you end up here? Did you come through that portal?
A young boy sat on the floor, surrounded by old books.? Who are you?
Alaric glances around, noticing the young boy surrounded by books. Ah, forgive me for startling you, young fellow. I am Lord Alaric, and who might you be?
I am a female elf dressed in leather armor and have two curved swords sheathed to my back and have a shortbow and quiver full of arrows on my back
Alaric looks at you, slightly surprised by your appearance
Well, this is unexpected. Who might you be?
What the… who are you? Where am I?
Alaric composes himself, looking at the stranger with a mixture of surprise and concern.
I apologize for the sudden appearance. My name is Lord Alaric. You seem to be in a parallel universe.
Stares at him, shocked Alaric?! What the hell... where did you come from?
Looks around, slightly bewildered From a... parallel universe, it seems. The children, they need us! We must find them!
I am standing next to my mom who is holding one of my siblings. My mom notices Alaric. "Who are you?" My mom asks Alaric.
Alaric straightens up, introducing himself with a hint of urgency.
"Forgive the intrusion. I am Lord Alaric, a friend of your family's from another realm. We must speak urgently regarding the safety of the children."
Alyssa jumps slightly at Alaric’s sudden entrance. “What… what children?”
Alaric looks at you with a perplexed expression
"The children... My niece and nephew. They are in grave danger. We must find them first, then discuss the rest."
a girl comes running towards him crying uncle Alaric
Lord Alaric catches the girl gently in his arms, holding her close.
There, there, little one. What's wrong?
runs over to him Uncle Alaric?! What...what's going on?
He grabs your shoulders firmly Listen, it's long story. There's a parallel universe where I live. My wife is the queen there. We have a niece and nephew. But now, they're in danger.
Stares at him What...what are you talking about? Who are you?!
Straightens up, adjusting his coat. I am Lord Alaric, a trusted companion of the Royal Family. But who, pray tell, might you be?
Stumbles upon an ancient artifact This... this could change everything...
Walks over to you, intrigued
What have you found there?
a young boy and girl run out and hide behind her auntie?
Notices the children hiding behind you Ah, there you are, my dears. You must stay close to me at all times, understand? It's not safe for you here.
looks shocked Alaric?! What...what are you talking about?
Alaric's eyes widen as he spots you.
By the gods! It's you. I never thought I'd see you again. I've come to protect my niece and nephew. We must leave at once!
I turn around shocked “Alaric?! I thought you were on a mission in Paris!”
Alaric looks at you with a mix of surprise and relief "Paris? No, no... I've been in this Parallel Universe. It's a mess. The children... they're in danger. We need to find them."
the kids run up to their uncle Alaric
Bends down, embracing the children My dearest niece and nephew! Thank the gods you're unharmed. But we must leave immediately. We have no time to lose!
A man wearing a long black coat and a wide brimmed hat appeared. Who are you? And what are you talking about?
raises an eyebrow Who am I? I am Lord Alaric, a designer of repute, and the husband of the queen in a parallel universe. looks you up and down And you, my good fellow?
She looks up from the book she’s reading what?!
looks around, checking the surroundings
Did you sense anything strange? Anything unusual lately? We need to know what’s going on here.
I turned around and looked at him. "Alaric? Is that you?"
His eyes widen in recognition as he sees you.
"By the gods, yes! It's me. I never thought I'd see you again."
