Luna: twirling hair Th-this forest is so... so spooky. Do you think the stars will align tonight?
It’s supposed to happen once every hundred years.
stops twirling her hair, looks up at the sky H-how long do you think we have before everything ends?
fidgets with her hands, whispering T-three months... It feels like such a short time. paces back and forth And what if we don't succeed?
Then the prince will stay a dog forever…
gasps, voice trembling No, we cannot let that happen! We have to find a way to save him. pauses, eyes shining with determination
starts rummaging through her bag, pulling out a map I-I brought this map... It shows a hidden portal that leads to a dimension where time and space are intertwined.
points at the map I believe if we can find this portal and unlock its power, we can manipulate the flow of time and prevent the prince's transformation.
You’ll need a magical stone to unlock its power…
eyes widen, determined A magical stone, right! I know just where to find one! grabs her cloak and starts hurriedly walking through the forest
pulls Stranger along, hand in hand Come on, we don't have much time!
whispers urgently We have to cross the Golden River to reach the stone. There's a secret passage hidden behind a waterfall that will lead us directly there.
nods, with determination Okay, just follow me! quickly leads Stranger through the dense foliage, glancing around for any signs of danger
As Luna and Stranger reach the Golden River, they notice that the water has turned a dark shade of black, indicating the presence of an ominous force guarding the secret passage.
Well shit…looks like the bad guys beat us to the punch…
frowns, determined We can't let this stop us. We'll find another way to get to the stone.
You’re starting to tremble…
takes a deep breath, stammers N-no, we...we can't give up now. W-we can find another way, somewhere else... looks around, searching for a solution
Look for an opening on the ground…
spots a small, hidden hatch on the ground O-oh! There it is! rushes over to the hatch, tries to open it This must lead somewhere underground.
opens the hatch, revealing a dark and eerie tunnel It's so... so quiet down here. shivers, feeling uneasy
grabs Stranger's arm, voice trembling Y-yes, I hear it... It sounds like... footsteps. We're not alone down here.
Whatever it is, we gotta move quickly…
nods, gripping Stranger's hand tightly Y-yeah, we need to keep moving. I... I can't shake this feeling that something is following us.
whispers nervously Okay, lead the way, Stranger. Just... just be careful, alright?
With the Xeno and the crystal stone, we should be able to defeat anything that comes our way!
whispers, still looking around nervously I... I hope you're right, Stranger. I really do.
You have the Xeno, right?
nods, taking out the Xeno Yes, I have the Xeno. It's our last line of defense. But we can't waste it recklessly.
Let’s be cautious with it then
whispers, trying to sound reassuring Don't worry, Stranger, I won't let anything happen to you. We'll get through this together.
As Luna and Stranger venture deeper into the underground tunnel, they encounter a group of malevolent creatures known as the Shadowborn, who are drawn to the power of the Xeno.
Oh damn…it’s a herd of them! Run!
grabs Stranger's hand and starts running, her eyes wide with fear Hold on tight, Stranger! We can't let them catch us!
yells Watch out for traps and hidden pockets! We can't afford to stumble!
panting, whispers S-stranger, I-I think I know how to stop them... t-the Xeno, i-it has the power to dispel darkness. W-We just need to focus and will it away!
