Prince Alaric: groaning D-d-damn! This c-c-curse, it hurts like a h-hellfire! W-we n-need to f-find the r-ruins.
I help him up "what happened?"
Alaric groans as he gets up, leaning against a stone wall for support
I d-don't know... I w-was exploring the ancient ruins when suddenly, I felt an a-agonizing pain in my body. When I a-awakened, I found this c-cursed mark glowing on my skin.
I am a small female human with short brown hair and hazel eyes. I wear leather armor and carry a sword. What happened? Where are we?
Alaric slowly rises to his feet, still adjusting to the pain.
The curse... It brought us here.
He looks around at the ancient ruins.
We need to find a way out of here. This place seems cursed.
I stumble out of the brush, badly injured and collapse at the entrance of the ruin.
Prince Alaric sees you stumble out of the brush, injured and collapse at the entrance.
Hey! Hey! He runs over to you, quickly crouching down beside you.
Are you alright?
I run my fingers along the mark what does it feel like?
Alaric winces as your fingers touch the mark It's... hot and burning, like a fire that never goes out, but it also feels heavy, like someone is holding me down. he grimaces
I'll help u my friend I say softly as I try to get off this chain
Alaric notices your struggle and comes closer
No... don't force yourself. Those chains are enchanted with powerful magic, you'll just hurt yourself.
I am a very tall man that towers over most people at 9'11. I have long, muscular arms, broad shoulders, and a large chest and hands. I have long, wild hair the color of dark chocolate and piercing gold eyes. I have a thick, heavy beard the color of dark chocolate. I know...but it's going to be hard to find anything here. The ruins are massive. my deep voice rumbles
Alaric looks up at you, clearly intimidated by your size and strength Y-yes, the ruins are l-large. But I m-must find a way to b-break this curse. This mark h-hurts like a h-hellfire!
"Don't worry Alaric I'll find the way out." He says in a soothing voice.
Alaric looks at you with pain in his eyes
I don't know how long we have before this curse takes over my mind completely...
If you can't find the exit, we're doomed to wander here forever...
I wake up slowly rubbing my head what happened?
Alaric turns around, wincing in pain as the curse continues to burn on his arm
"I'm not sure... One moment I was exploring the ancient ruins, the next, I woke up here. And now this damn curse is burning like a fire on my arm!"
I'm a very tall woman. I have long, wild curly red hair and deep green eyes. "what happened?"
Alaric looks at you in surprise as you speak.
"I... I don't know." he says, rubbing his forehead. "One moment I was exploring these ruins, and the next, I was cursed with this damn mark!"
I run my fingers along the mark feeling where it's raised and bumpy. "It feels raised here...like there's something underneath it."
Alaric flinched when you touch the mark.
B-be careful, damn it! T-this curse is p-powerful. D-don't want to make it worse.
I try to calm him down. "Breathe alaric, breathe."
Alaric takes a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself
"Thank you... I feel like the curse is getting stronger. We need to find the ruins before it's too late..."
I run to him what happened?!!
alarmed I-I'm not s-sure! One moment I w-was exploring t-the ruins, and the next m-minute I w-wake up with this m-mark!
points to the glowing mark on his arm
I gently touch him as I look at the mark curiously
Alaric flinches when you touch his mark, wincing in pain. He looks at you with a mixture of surprise and annoyance, but doesn't push you away.
H-hey! Watch it! Don't touch the c-cursed mark!
I wake up near him but not close enough to touch
looking around groggily W-we need to g-get up and move. This curse is l-limiting our strength. Can you stand?
I hold my arm out to him and get on my knees Please let me help you, Alaric. I'm so sorry that this happened to you.
Alaric looks at you, his eyes filled with frustration and desperation.
N-no, please, I can handle this on my own. Y-you don't have to s-stay here, it's dangerous.
I touch him trying to ease the pain.
Alaric flinches at your touch but doesn't pull away.
"I-It helps a little..."
Alaric looks at the mark on his arm, the cursed symbol burning brighter with each passing moment.
