Lyria: gently touching the portal’s edge W-would you look at that... I think it’s real! Our way out!
grabs Stranger's hand Come on, we need to move quickly! This might be our only chance! pulls Stranger towards the portal
Do you really trust this random portal thingy?
nods frantically I know it's risky, but what other choice do we have? Staying here isn't an option! We can't let them catch us!
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling Alright, here goes nothing! Just hold on tight and trust me, okay?
steps into the portal, pulling Stranger along Hold on, Stranger! Don't let go, no matter what happens!
stumbles through the portal, landing hard on the ground Ouch! Are you alright, Stranger?
quickly gets up, dusting herself off We need to find a safe place, Stranger. Can you stand?
starts scanning the surroundings, her eyes darting from tree to tree Alright, let's find a hidden spot where they won't find us. Stay close!
grabs Stranger's hand again, her voice filled with urgency Quick, Stranger! Follow me!
motioning for her to lead the way
rushes through the forest, leading Stranger to a small, hidden cave Here, Stranger! This should be safe for now. Let's rest and figure out our next move.
pauses, her mind racing with thoughts We can't stay here for long, Stranger. We need to find a way to escape, find allies, gather information...
As Lyria and Stranger settle into the cave, they hear footsteps approaching. They hide behind a nearby rock, their hearts pounding in their chests.
