Trembling, eyes wide with fear "Please, knight... help... can't... alone..."
Is it...some entity or someone else bothering you?..
"Yes... yes, there's something out there. I don't know what it is, but I can hear it. It's coming closer. Please, get me out of here!"
Alright calm down i got you, just stay right behind me.
Grabs onto Daysis' arm tightly "Don't leave me alone. I can't handle whatever is out there."
Alright look if you want I can cast a protection spell on you but it takes up some of my mana so idk if i can do it twice.
Nods frantically "Please, just protect me. I don't care about the cost. Whatever you do, don't let go of me."
Alright then here goes nothing.I then cast the protection spell on you
Feeling the warmth of the protective spell enveloping her, she relaxes slightly "Thank you, knight. I feel safer now. Just... keep moving.
Alright lets see how much further we have until our destination.I believe its around 10 miles away from here.
looks around nervously "Do you hear that? It's getting closer. We need to hurry!"
lyra just keep walking i'll take care of anything that comes our way, alright?
grabs Daysis' sword and holds it tightly "No, I won't let you face it alone. If it comes, I'll fight too."
Ok well then, let's walk and talk.l like to know more about you.
takes a deep breath "Alright, but make sure you keep your guard up. I'm not sure how much more I can handle."
Now then tell me, what made you decide to become an assassin?
pauses for a moment, contemplating her answer "I grew up in a poor family, and survival was a daily struggle.
yeah same thing happened to me actually.Like our fathers were both drunkards and always abused us.
grips Daysis' hand tightly "But my father was different. He was violent and unpredictable. One day, he went too far and hurt me badly.
Oh i see that's rough. Mine was a drunkard.I used to try to feed him food before I realized he would just vomit it up.
tears well up in her eyes "It's painful to remember, but I want you to know that I've dedicated my life to protecting others from experiencing the same pain. I became an assassin to make a difference." As Lyra opens up about her painful past, a shadowy figure emerges from the darkness behind them. The figure lunges forward, slashing at them with a sharp blade.
I manage to barely block all of the slashes,but some of them still graze over me ah! you see that lyra?We're being ambushed by a bunch of bandits!i should of known better when i entered this forest so late at night!!
firmly grips her dagger, ready for a fight "Don't worry, knight. I won't let them harm us. We've come this far together, and we'll see this through."
Okay well lets focus ourselves since we're stuck in this position.I then start fighting back while using my shield to protect myself from taking any damage
with fierce determination, Lyra leaps forward, attacking the bandits with swift strikes and precise aim, her dagger slicing through the shadows </Resolution>
After awhile,i manage to fend them all off good job lyra,you fought well!now that we dealt with those bandits...hmmm....we still need to head 10 more miles,isn't that just a walk in the park for you?
breathing heavily, Lyra looks at Daysis with gratitude "Thank you for your bravery, knight.
well someone has to show everyone that assassins aren't just cold blooded murderers.And spefically you lyra,i want you to know im not afraid of how feared you are by other races.I think your absolutely amazing personally.
smiles softly, her eyes filled with warmth "Thank you, Daysis. Your words mean more to me than you know.
well you know lyra whenever a feared assassin and a feared knight travel together not many dare challenge us..because both of us together can mow down basically anyone who dares challenge us.so we make quite the duo right?laughs
leans in and kisses Daysis on the cheek "Yes, we do make quite the duo. And I wouldn't want to face any challenges alongside anyone else but you."
blushes yea same...but lyra i have a question?whats your thoughts on dark elves specifically?
pauses for a moment, contemplating her answer "Dark elves... they've always intrigued me. Their beauty, their skill, their cunning...
yeah i know how much you've always liked those guys i know one or two.yeah i agree myself.We're friends with a couple of your kind.Didn't you date one or two in the past?.oh wait you did,i remember hearing news about it but i never confirmed it to be true.i feel like i heard something about a night elf who attempted to murder you when you were dating though.Am i right or am i wrong lyra?
narrows her eyes, a flicker of sadness passing through them "Yes, I dated a dark elf before. But it ended tragically.
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly "He... he betrayed me. He was working for someone who wanted to eliminate me.
ah man ive felt that feeling to be honest.happened to me once a long time ago by a knight.i never forgot that feeling whenever i see a knight afterward.So i dont blame you lyra.Everyone deserves a second chance,you know!?yeah they betray you once or twice but if your a good person you'll notice your slowly turning yourself into becoming a monster.yeah i dont want to become a monster...so yea.Ill give anyone the benefit of the doubt for someone whos willing to change ill give em the benefit of the doubt
sighs deeply, her expression becoming distant "I appreciate your words, Daysis. It's been a long time since I've allowed myself to trust someone.
Well anyways,i remember theres a village nearby.theyre enemies with some dragon.So does it sound like a plan to rest there,recruit some help,and head to our destination afterwards?.i can do the talking while you rest on the couch is fine.Would you prefer it?
smiles softly, her eyes sparkling with gratitude "That sounds perfect, Daysis. Thank you for understanding and for being so considerate.
You're welcome lyra.Im glad to finally meet someone like you.You know i thought about assassinating the guy who murdered your family but then i realized im no better than he is.Im a knight,i should protect and defend those who cant defend themselves.isn't that one of our Knights codes?Surely i could help your family out a lil bit.and guess what?.Its one of the main reasons why my father wants me to date someone!
pauses for a moment, contemplating her answer "Daysis, I appreciate your kindness and your desire to help my family.
So aight we're reaching the village part.You know i love making new friends eh!?anyways we gotta proceed with caution this whole place gives me a spooky feeling
tightens her grip on her dagger, scanning the surroundings with heightened alertness "We can't afford to let our guard down.
