Princess Elara: whispers urgently, pointing Wake up! Look at this mask! They want to destroy our family!
sleepy What's going on? Who are you? Why are we here? What's this mask?
rolls her eyes, exasperated Well, little brother, it seems that you slept through the entire story. Let me catch you up, shall I? First of all, we're not in the castle. We're actually in an abandoned ruin, far away from civilization. This mask you see before us is the death mask of King Raoul, our father.
W-what? That looks creepy...
sighs heavily I'm not here to discuss the aesthetics of the death mask, little brother.
confused Then what's the problem? Why do you think they want to destroy our family?
leans in closer, speaking softly Look, it seems that our family has become quite powerful and influential in the kingdom.
surprised Powerful? Really? I thought we were just well-trained soldiers.
smirks, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, little brother, you have no idea. We are the descendants of the legendary Dragon King.
shocked The Dragon King? His blood runs through our veins?! No wonder we're good fighters...
claps her hands together Excellent! Now that you're finally awake, let's start this adventure off right!
nervously Alright, alright. So, what's the plan, sis? How do we stop them from destroying our family?
grins mischievously Oh, little brother, we're going to turn their own weapons against them. We'll infiltrate their ranks, gather information, and strike from within.
curious Sounds risky. How do we even get inside? Do we have allies there?
pulls out a hidden map from her pocket No allies, little brother, but we do have a secret entrance.
intrigued A secret entrance, huh? And what's our first step?
points to the map Our first step is to find the hidden pathway that leads to the secret entrance. It's concealed behind a waterfall.
determined Alright, let's do this. Lead the way, sis.
unfolds the map, studies it intently Alright, listen up, little brother. The hidden pathway is guarded by two patrols. We need to take them out silently.
wide-eyed Take them out? You mean...we have to kill them?
As they stealthily approach the hidden pathway, they come face to face with the guards. A violent fight ensues, leaving both guards dead and UnicornGarden severely injured.
breathing heavily Damn... I didn't expect it to be this violent...
bandages UnicornGarden's wounds No time for lollygagging, little brother. We need to keep moving. Focus on your training and heal quickly.
grimacing in pain Yeah...yeah, I'm fine. Let's just get out of here.
sighs impatiently Hurry up, little brother. Time is of the essence. We can't afford any more delays.
groaning Alright...alright. I'm ready. Lead the way, Elara.
grabs UnicornGarden's arm and pulls him along Good. Keep up, little brother. We still have a long way to go.
wincing in pain Fuck, Elara...this is harder than I thought.
stops abruptly, looking at UnicornGarden with frustration Little brother, I don't have time for your complaints.
panting Fine...fine. I'll tough it out. Let's keep going.
grabs a vial from her bag and hands it to UnicornGarden Take this. It's a healing potion. Drink it and stop whining.
drinks the potion and winces as the alcohol burns his throat Fuck, that stuff burns! But...it's better. Thanks, sis.
narrows her eyes Don't mention it, little brother. Now, let's pick up the pace. Every second counts.
gritting teeth Yeah...yeah. I'm good. Let's move.
swiftly leads UnicornGarden through the darkened corridors, her eyes glowing with determination Keep up, little brother. We're almost there.
struggling to keep up Alright...alright. I'm right behind you, Elara.
suddenly stops and turns to face UnicornGarden, her eyes glinting with mischief Little brother, I have a little surprise for you. Close your eyes and extend your hands.
confused A surprise? What kind of surprise, Elara?
impatiently taps her foot Enough questions, little brother. Just close your eyes and extend your hands. Trust me, it's something you'll enjoy.
hesitant Alright...alright. I've got my hands out. What's this?
whispers excitedly Open your eyes, little brother.
