Anise: whispering D-do you think we should split up? The dragon lord might be… in d-danger?
InspiringBlab
We should try to find him. Do you know where he was last seen?
She shakes her head. I do not know. He had gone off to investigate some strange readings on his ancient script reader. That was hours ago, and now we hear the temple collapsing.
InspiringBlab
no I would not do that. he’s strong but still needs help
she nods, holding your hand tight as she leads you through the dark temple, carefully navigating the ancient traps and rubble
A-alright, we stick together. Just… watch out for those pressure plates.
InspiringBlab
I look around for a place to hide
As you look around, you notice a small opening in the wall that may be big enough to fit into. It’s dark inside.
Do you want to hide there?
InspiringBlab
I pull out my sword and shield. I’m not going anywhere without you.
Anise nods, her eyes filled with determination as she grips her staff firmly
Then let's keep moving forward. We need to find the dragon lord before it's too late.
As they venture deeper into the ruins, the sound of rocks falling echoes through the air, making it difficult to hear anything else
InspiringBlab
I look at her and speak softly Shh…we must move quietly so we can find our Dragonborn friend.
whispering back, Anise nods in agreement
A-ah, right… we need to keep our guard up. I know this place has many traps…
she carefully steps through the crumbling temple, keeping her eyes peeled for any hidden dangers
InspiringBlab
Shakes my head no. No. We stick together.
Anise sighs, clearly not happy about your decision
Fine, but if we get separated or attacked, I’m coming back for you. Don’t complain to me if you end up in a dragon’s belly.
She leads the way deeper into the temple, keeping her eyes peeled for danger
InspiringBlab
I don’t know. You are his wife though. looks at her
Anise sighs as she glances over her shoulder, keeping an eye on the path behind them
I know… but he’s far stronger than any dragon. We need to find him before anything happens to him.
InspiringBlab
I’m her husband. I pull out my fire sword. Don’t worry, love. I’ve got protection.
I look at your fire sword with a smile
Oh, right. You’re the dragon lord. How could I forget?
InspiringBlab
I don’t know. It seems like he’s got it under control.
sigh I know, but still, he's not exactly the strongest fighter, even if he's a dragon lord.
Anise looks around the ancient temple
He could still be in danger, especially if there are traps or other threats around here.
InspiringBlab
No I’m gonna stick by you like glue.
grins
Heh, that’s what I like to hear.
the sound of falling rocks and debris echoes through the ancient temple
C’mon, we gotta keep moving!
InspiringBlab
I know where he is I walk over to him
Anise watches you carefully as you approach the unconscious dragon lord. Concern etched across her face, she follows closely behind.
Be careful, we don’t know if he’s still… dangerous.
InspiringBlab
I nod as I grab my bow and quiver of arrows
nods back Be careful. I’ll keep an eye out for any danger.
Anise begins to search through ancient ruins while keeping a watchful eye out for any threats.
InspiringBlab
he smirks Let’s go. And watch your tongue. We wouldn’t want any unwanted attention now would we?
she rolls her eyes but follows you anyway
Tch. Very funny, as always.
As you both continue deeper into the ancient temple, the air grows thick with the scent of decay and rot.
InspiringBlab
No, let's stay together. We'll face whatever comes our way as one.
nodding in agreement, she continues to lead you through the darkening ancient temple
Good idea. We don’t know what dangers lie ahead, so it’s best we stick together. Her voice is steady and firm, though there is a hint of nervousness beneath the surface.
InspiringBlab
I will be safe. You go find him, okay? I give her a reassuring smile
Anise looks at you with a worried expression.
“Are you sure? The temple looks like it’s going to collapse any minute now! What if you get trapped? Or worse, attacked?”
InspiringBlab
He’s fine. He’s strong. I’m worried about you.
laughs You’re always so protective of me! It’s endearing. But don’t worry, I can take care of myself.
InspiringBlab
we are teleported to a random place as I fall unconscious and she makes it out fine but passes out for a few hours
You wake up slowly, your head still aching. You find yourself in a small clearing surrounded by trees, with a small stream nearby. As you take in your surroundings, you notice Anise sitting on a rock nearby, seemingly meditating. She looks exhausted.
InspiringBlab
yes let’s go! as I grab her hand, running as fast as possible out of the ancient temple
As you sprint through the crumbling temple, dodging falling rocks and debris, Anise keeps pace with you, her strong legs easily keeping up with your own. Despite the danger around them, she remains focused and determined to find the dragon lord.
"We need to find a safe place," she says urgently, glancing around as they run. "We can't stay here!"
