Lucius: glancing around nervously I... I n-need to t-tell you something. I... I'm s-sorry, but... your... your sister and I...
I nod and follow him out of the house
rushes out of the house, pulling OceanOracle along Hurry, A-Aptuslyti! We need to move quickly if we want to catch up to that city before it's too late!
starts running, gripping OceanOracle's hand tightly W-we have to keep moving, A-Aptuslyti. We can't waste any time.
During their journey, Lucius and OceanOracle get caught by a group of soldiers searching for fugitives.
the soldiers take us to a cell
frantically paces back and forth in the cell, his voice filled with urgency W-what do we do now, A-Aptuslyti? We can't let them lock us up like this!
I look at him Well, I'm sure they'll let us out eventually. They only hold us here for 24 hours
stops pacing and turns to OceanOracle, a mischievous smile forming on his face W-Well, while we're here, let's do something useful, shall we?
grins mischievously G-good. Now, listen closely, A-Aptuslyti. I have a plan.
whispers, leaning in close to OceanOracle W-we need to find a way to escape from this cell. And not just escape - we need to make it look like we escaped.
quickly scans the cell, pointing to a weak spot in the bars S-see that gap? That's our ticket out of here.
grabs a small tool from his pocket and starts working on the gap, whispering We need to be quick, A-Aptuslyti.
continues to work on the gap, his hands moving swiftly W-we need to make this look like a forced escape.
smirks as the gap grows larger There we go, A-Aptuslyti. Just a little bit more... Perfect! Now, listen carefully.
leans in closer, his voice urgent Once the bars are loose enough, we'll feign a struggle and break free. But here's the twist - we'll leave a trail behind us.
pulls out a small container hidden in his pocket Inside this container is a vial of liquid. Once we're outside, I'll spill it.
nervously spills the liquid outside the cell, creating a thick smoke cloud W-work, A-Aptuslyti? Did it w-work?
I cough as the smoke goes in my face
grabs OceanOracle's arm and pulls her towards the exit C-come on, A-Aptuslyti! We need to get out of here before they notice!
looks back at the guards patrolling the area, grinning mischievously W-let's give them a good ol' chase, shall we?
grabs OceanOracle's hand and starts running, weaving through the narrow streets and back alleys W-we need to lose them, A-Aptuslyti! Keep up!
As they continue to flee, a guard spots OceanOracle and shouts, signaling the others to pursue.
grips OceanOracle's hand tighter, urging her to keep moving W-we can't stop now, A-Aptuslyti! Keep going, we're almost there!
spots a building under construction nearby, his eyes lighting up with a plan A-Aptuslyti, follow me! We can hide in those crates over there!
I follow him and hide in the crates
pauses for a moment, listening for any signs of pursuit W-we should be safe for now, A-Aptuslyti. R-relax... R-remember, this was all part of the plan.
