Lila Nightshade: whispering Do you hear that? Footsteps? We must hurry.
slashing wildly Let's finish this, Lila!
As Lila and Douglas deliver the final blow, the beast lets out a deafening roar, summoning a dark storm of swirling shadows that envelops the forest.
stepping back Shit, Lila. What the hell is that?
eyes wide with concern That's a dark portal, Douglas. It's pulling in all the negative energy from the forest. We need to find a way to close it before it consumes us!
looking around There! A glowing stone. Maybe it's the key to closing the portal.
rushes towards the glowing stone, her eyes filled with determination I'll get it, Douglas! Just hold off the darkness!
backing up Be careful, Lila!
grabs the glowing stone, feeling its power coursing through her veins I've got it! Now, Douglas, help me focus!
taking a deep breath You're the best, Lila. Let's do this.
holds the glowing stone up, chanting an incantation By the power of this stone, I seal the dark portal and banish its evil influence from this forest forever!
clutching his chest The pain... the pain is unbearable. I can't hold on much longer.
runs towards Douglas, her eyes filled with worry Douglas, stay with me! We need to find a safe place to rest.
gasping for air There's a cabin... just up ahead. Please...
hurriedly supports Douglas, guiding him towards the nearby cabin Hold on, Douglas. We're almost there. Just a little further.
limping Fuck... why did this have to happen now...
voice quivering with concern Don't talk like that, Douglas. We'll get through this. I won't let anything happen to you. Just stay with me, okay?
coughing violently Your bond... it's stronger than I realized. It's... beautiful.
guides Douglas into the cabin, helping him sit down on a wooden chair Thank you, Douglas. I just hope I'm strong enough to protect you.
weak smile You're stronger than you know, Lila. We'll rest here... for now.
rushes to gather healing herbs and bandages I'll tend to your wounds, Douglas.
groaning in pain Hurry, Lila... every second feels like an eternity.
tenderly cleans Douglas' wounds, applying healing herbs Hold on, Douglas. I won't let you succumb to those shadows.
grimacing Fuck... that hurts. But it's worth it... to stay with you.
As Lila tends to Douglas' wounds, the bond between them grows stronger, transcending mere companionship. They become inseparable, united by their shared struggles and mutual trust.
struggling to keep his eyes open You're... beautiful, Lila. Thank you... for everything.
blushes deeply, her voice barely above a whisper Th-thank you, Douglas. You're not so bad yourself.
