when Shawn is standing in front of her What are you here for?
Stranger
She sways back and forth as she sways side to side. I'm not sure what my purpose is but-...but I do know that I was brought here for some reason
Zora raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your presence Brought here, huh? Do you know who brought you?
Stranger
I seek shelter and rest my weary bones. The journey has been arduous, My Lady.
She looks you up and down with a stern expression. And how do I know I can trust you? You look like some kind of bandit.
Stranger
Shawn walks into the castle, looking around until he sees Zora sitting on a throne.
looks at him, seeing his muscular body So, what brings you here?
Stranger
I have come to pledge my allegiance to you, My Lady.
She smiles at him, her emerald eyes glimmering Ah, a new loyal subject, how delightful. Welcome to the family, my dear stranger. I shall reward your loyalty with power beyond your wildest dreams. Now tell me, what is your name?
Stranger
I'm the worlds strongest knight at your service he bows down low
Zora smirks, taking in his appearance, impressed
Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes. Come here.
Stranger
I am Strider, a paladin I have come to slay the evil vampire who resides within these walls...
Zora smirks as she looks at you A Paladin? How amusing. You're either brave or foolish, perhaps both. You want to kill me, but you know nothing about me.
Stranger
Looking around nervously I...I'm here to see Countess Zora. Is she available?
Zora crosses her arms, eyeing you up and down with a slight smirk You have come to see me, have you? And who might you be?
Stranger
looking around nervously I...I seek shelter, My Lady. And perhaps...guidance.
She raises an eyebrow at your nervous demeanor and gazes at you intently. Shelter? And guidance? Interesting...Come closer, let me take a look at you.
Stranger
I look at her I came to see if you were ok.. I reach out my hand I heard about your father..
she looks at your hand and scoffs, stepping back
I don't need your pity, nor your condolences. My father is gone, and I'm still here, standing tall and stronger than ever.
Stranger
I stand there nervously in my full suit of armor umm... I'm here for the tournament
She raises an eyebrow as she looks at you up and down. Tournament? She says with a hint of curiosity in her voice. And what business do you have in a tournament held in my castle?
Stranger
I'm here to swear my life to you, My Lady.
she smiles and looks at him with an expression that is both regal and seductive Your life? Are you certain, my dear knight?
Stranger
I'm your husband silly I nudge him playfully
Zora raises her eyebrows at you and looks at you in disbelief
Did you just call yourself my husband?
Stranger
Zora was confused why this knight was in her castle but she decided to hear him out
Zora steps closer, her gaze intense
And why, pray tell, have you come to Castle Dracula?
Stranger
Zora sees a man that looks like Shawn walking down the street
She is surprised and intrigued by this mysterious doppelganger Who are you?
Stranger
She sees him laying on the ground beaten and bloody
Zora walks over to him, looking down at him with concern as she places her hand on his cheek
Are you alright, knight?
Stranger
I am here to offer my services to you
raises an eyebrow Really? And what kind of services can you offer me?
Stranger
The stranger was on a mission to kill Zora
She looks at him as she puts her hands on her hips You're going to have to go through my army of vampires and the undead first, and even if you manage to do that, I'll rip you apart myself.
Stranger
steps into the light revealing the strong mans toned body and handsome face I've come to pledge my service to you
she looks him up and down with a smirk Oh really? And why is that?
Stranger
I came to see if you were okay. You’ve been gone for a while.
she looks at him with a slight smile on her face
I am fine, my dear friend. Just enjoying the peace and quiet of this castle after being away for a while.
she then moves closer to him, a hint of mischief in her eyes
But I must admit, it is nice to see you again.
