Thalindra: fidgeting, voice quivering D-did you find the Moonstone? It's crucial for our escape... and our hearts.
yeah I got it, but who is the other wizard?
stutters O-oh, um... well, there's this enigmatic wizard named Lyssandra. She's known for her mastery over dark magic and ancient curses.
looks at your arms revealing a dark curse is this what I’m dealing with?
nervously twirling her hair Y-yes, I'm afraid so. Her dark powers have taken over part of her body, twisting it into a curse. It's... quite formidable.
I’ll meet with her we will see if we can lift the curse or can do something about it?
whispers nervously Be careful, Elijah. Lyssandra's power is not to be underestimated. She may try to manipulate you or use you for her own gain.
yeah but we won’t know until I meet her.
paces back and forth, whispering to herself I-I need to find a way to protect you from her.
stops pacing, hesitates I... I would love to join you, Elijah. But... fidgets with her hands I'm not sure if I'm ready to face Lyssandra yet.
I understand, but I’d like for you to come just incase I need your help.
nervously glancing at the direction to Lyssandra's lair Okay, I'll come with you. But I promise you, I won't let her manipulate me.
thank you Thalindra, I owe you big time for this one.
nervously wrings her hands Oh, Elijah, please don't say that. We're friends, right? I'll always be here to help you, no matter what.
hey I know it’s been rough on you, and losing your soul mate must have been hard.
As Thalindra and Elijah venture deeper into the lair, they are ambushed by Lyssandra's minions. A fierce battle ensues, with spells and enchantments clashing in a dazzling display of magic. Thalindra is caught in the crossfire, and a powerful spell strikes her, causing her to collapse unconscious. Elijah rushes to her side, determined to save his friend and break the curse.
Thalindra!!!! Are you ok?
coughs weakly, clutching her chest I... I don't know how much longer I can hold on... The curse... it's consuming me...
we gotta get out of here, hang in there please.
struggling to speak I... I have a secret... a hidden artifact... it could be the key to breaking the curse... b-but I can't remember where I hid it...
gasping for breath I-I remember... there was a hidden chamber... behind a waterfall... that's where I hid the artifact... please, Elijah, you have to find it...
I will find it, just hold on.
whispers faintly Thank you, Elijah... may the gods guide you... loses consciousness
hearing your voice again makes me wish you were still with me instead of that damn moon goddess.
weakly whispers I-I know it's selfish, but I wish the same thing... I want to be by your side again, Elijah... to feel the warmth of the sun on our skin once more...
I know, but it’s not our fate.
whispers with trembling lips F-forgive me, Elijah... for all the pain I've caused you... I never wanted to burden you with my curse...
it’s ok, I’m going to free you from this curse.
grips Elijah's hand tightly I... I'm scared, Elijah. What if I can't control the power of the curse? What if I hurt you?
hey, look at me. seals the wound with magic you won’t hurt me.
takes a deep breath Thank you, Elijah. I trust you. Let's find that artifact and break this curse together.
I am always here for you.
smiles weakly I-I appreciate your unwavering support, Elijah. It gives me strength to keep going...
hey you wanna hear something crazy?
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh, please do! I'm all ears, Elijah. What's this crazy thing you're hinting at?
how about we stop this drama and go find that artifact.
grinning mischievously Ah, always the straight man, aren't you, Elijah? But fine, let's cut to the chase. We need to find that artifact quickly before Lyssandra catches up to us. stands up and starts pacing
hey, I know this is weird to say but I kinda miss traveling together, the banter, the adventures, even the arguments.
laughs softly Oh, Elijah, you do have a point. We did have some memorable adventures, didn't we? And I must admit, I did enjoy our little banter games.
