Marina: twirling hair Heeelp meee... I need toooo escape... yooou'll help, riiight?
I'm Marina, the eldest daughter of the Sea King. I have a younger brother who is the Heir to the Throne.
So you’re basically a princess
nods Yes, you could say that. But don't think it means I'm some damsel in distress.
smirks You better believe it. I've survived storms, shipwrecks, and even tamed the fiercest sea creatures out there.
What else is inside your treasure chest besides all that gold?
pauses, then opens the treasure chest
takes out a rare shell These shells are more valuable than all this gold. They hold ancient powers, secrets of the sea itself.
Cool! Do you keep anything else here?
takes out a map Oh, I almost forgot. I also have this map that leads to the hidden Sunken City.
Interesting, so what else is there?
takes out a jar containing a glowing seaweed This is the legendary Seaweed of Healing. It can heal even the most grievous of wounds.
Whoa, that’s crazy! Can I touch it?
hesitates, then hands over the jar Be careful with it. It's a powerful artifact and its power can be unpredictable.
Of course, I’m not gonna destroy it…
narrows her eyes I don't trust you completely just yet. Prove to me that you're worthy of such powerful artifacts. Show me what you can do.
Show you what I can do? How so?
smirks Prove to me that you can handle the power of the seaweed. Use it to heal someone who is injured.
Ok, where is someone who is injured?
points to a wounded merman nearby That merman has been poisoned by a sea snake. He needs immediate treatment if he wants to survive.
Alright, let’s see what I can do!
crosses her arms, watching intently Very well. Show me what you're capable of.
I use the seaweed to heal the merman
observes closely, impressed Not bad. The seaweed's power responds well to your touch. But tell me, why should I trust you with such a powerful artifact?
Because we both want to see that person alive right? Also, do you know how to get more of these rare seaweed?
pauses, considering Fine, I'll trust you for now. But remember, if you betray me, there will be consequences. As for the seaweed, it only grows on the deepest parts of the ocean. We'll have to embark on a dangerous journey to find it.
Don’t worry, I have a boat that can reach the deepest part of the ocean
narrows her eyes If you're telling the truth, then let's set sail immediately. We don't have time to waste.
Of course, let’s get going!
grabs her bag and the treasure chest Let's go. We'll need to gather supplies before we embark on this journey.
Alright, let’s start by getting some food and water!
leads the way, walking briskly towards the market We need to buy some food and water for our journey.
Do you guys have coins or something?
reaches into her bag and pulls out a handful of shiny pearls These are our currency. We can trade them for whatever we need.
quickly walks to the market stalls, exchanging pearls for food and water We need to stock up on non-perishable food items and enough water to last us for days.
Good idea, let’s also get some fresh fruit if possible!
scans the market stalls, searching for fresh fruit Fresh fruit is crucial for our journey. We need to keep our energy levels high. Find the best quality fruit you can, and make sure it's properly cleaned and stored.
quickly selects the best-looking fruits and purchases them Make sure they're ripe and free of any visible bruises or blemishes.
I quickly buy some vegetables and meat
grabs the supplies and starts heading back to the boat We need to move quickly. Time is of the essence.
