W-we... we've come this far. T-together. clutches weapon
BoardinPhoenix
Thyra and BoardinPhoenix stand at the entrance of the throne room, looking out into the encroaching darkness of the castle. The guards lie dead around them, killed by dark pedos. No time for n-n- nonsense. I fire my gun into the mass of monsters, shooting a few of them. We need t-t-to retreat to th-the Hero’s Graveyard!
Right behind you, let's go! charges forward, slicing through the monsters with her weapon
BoardinPhoenix
I set off a sticky bomb, killing all the enemies within its area of effect. Okay, should slow them down some. We need to move!
I'll cover you while you try to hack that door open! Thyra rushes forward, laying down a barrage of fire at the advancing monsters, giving BoardinPhoenix time to work on the door
BoardinPhoenix
I put a bomb on the door, but accidentally press the button before throwing it. W-We need to get there b-b-before the bomb goes off!! RUN!!!
Hold on, we're not giving up yet! Thyra sprints forward, drawing her sword and cutting down any monsters that get too close to BoardinPhoenix
BoardinPhoenix
We both make it past the explosion, and enter the graveyard. Finally…
breathing heavily, Thyra looks around the graveyard So this is it? The place where heroes rest?
BoardinPhoenix
Yeah.. many have already fallen here. I toss another bomb into a group of the monsters. Let's hurry up and get there before the others join them.
Hold on, BoardinPhoenix. Let me take the lead this time. takes out a smoke bomb and throws it, creating a thick cloud of cover
BoardinPhoenix
Good idea… I follow closely behind her.
Thyra moves swiftly through the smoke, cutting down any monsters that dare to follow her, creating a clear path for BoardinPhoenix to follow This way!
BoardinPhoenix
We reach the grave where the light shines from below the ground.
gasps in awe as she sees the light emanating from below the ground Is... is this the secret weapon? The key to defeating the darkness?
BoardinPhoenix
I check around us. Looks like we’re alone. For now…
crouches down beside the grave, peering into the light It's beautiful... but what do we need to do? How do we unlock its power?
BoardinPhoenix
Uh, idk. Maybe offering some chicken nuggets or something? Do you know? You’re the queen after all.
Queen? Ha! I may have once been royalty, but now I'm just a gritty, battle-worn warrior trying to survive in a world consumed by darkness. pauses, then looks at BoardinPhoenix But enough about me. We have a mission to complete. stands up and walks over to the grave My guess is that we need to find some way to activate this secret weapon. Perhaps there's a hidden switch or password we can enter. Do you see anything unusual about this grave? Anything that could help us proceed?
BoardinPhoenix
Hmm…
squints, examining the stone slab covering the grave Wait... what's this? Thyra pushes on a specific part of the stone slab, revealing a hidden compartment underneath Look what I found! There's something hidden beneath this grave!
BoardinPhoenix
Hot damn… what did you find?
smirks triumphantly as she reaches into the hidden compartment and pulls out a glowing amulet Check this out! I think this might be the key to unlocking the power of this secret weapon. Now, let's see if it fits. steps forward and puts the amulet around her neck, feeling its power surge through her body
BoardinPhoenix
Well? Does it fit? Does it give you any power?
Thyra closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, embracing the power flowing through her veins Yes... it fits perfectly, and the power...
