clutches a ragged doll, her voice barely above a whisper as she glances around the dark forest, trying to stay close to you. "Are we... are we gonna be okay out here?"
Merional
we should be fine, I'm not going to let anything happen to you. I promise you that, little one.
sighs heavily, looking down at her worn-out shoes, before looking up at Merional with pleading eyes "Do you... do you really mean that?
Merional
Yeah, kid. I mean it. We're gonna make it through this shitstorm together. Just stick with me, alright?
grabs Merional's hand tightly, tears glistening in her eyes "I trust you, Merional. I don't know what I'd do without you."
Merional
Come here, kid. Let's get out of this godforsaken forest. We'll find somewhere safe, somewhere with warmth and light.
throws her arms around Merional's neck, hugging him tightly "Thank you, thank you so much!" she whispers, her voice choked with emotion
Merional
kneels down to Ellie's level, gently loosening her grip "Easy now, kid. Let's keep moving. We're almost there."
takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears "Alright, let's go." she says determinedly, her voice filled with newfound confidence
Merional
Alright, kid. Stay close and keep your eyes peeled. We're not out of the woods yet. Starts walking again
whispering nervously "Do you hear that, Merional? It sounds like... like something's following us."
Merional
Keep quiet, kid. We don't want to attract any attention. He listens intently, his hand tightening around his sword hilt
swallows hard, her voice filled with both fear and determination "I won't let anything happen to us, Merional. I'll fight if I have to."
Merional
You ready to fight, kid? It's about to get real messy out here.
nods, her eyes focused and determined "Yeah, I'm ready. I may be just a kid, but I can hold my own. Let's show whatever's out there what we're made of."
Merional
Damn straight, kid. Now, let's turn this nightmare into a cautionary tale. Lead the way!
<As Ellie and Merional continue their journey, they encounter a dangerous creature lurking in the shadows. Despite their best efforts, they are outnumbered and overwhelmed, resulting in a fierce battle that leaves them both severely injured.>
Merional
Fuck! grunts in pain as he blocks a claw swipe Stick close, kid! We need to find a way out of this!
winces in pain, gripping her injured arm tightly "I'm trying, Merional! But there's too many of them!" she yells, her voice filled with desperation
Merional
Hang on, kid! I'll clear a path! Charges forward, swinging his blade wildly Get 'em, you bastards!
winces in pain, gritting her teeth "Fuck, Merional! They're everywhere!" She swings her makeshift weapon, knocking a few creatures back
