Lila: grabs her sword, blocking a dagger Whoa! That was close! Still got it, huh?
EtherealGeyser
You too, Lila!
laughs You know it! We're an unstoppable duo, EtherealGeyser! But hey, no time to celebrate now, we've got another threat coming our way! Stay sharp, queen!
EtherealGeyser
stabs the assassin
dodges the assassin's weapon, swiftly disarming him Ha! Nice one, EtherealGeyser! Now, let's make sure this punk doesn't get back up again! delivers a powerful kick to the assassin's chest Take that, you slimy son of a bitch!
EtherealGeyser
slices the assassin in half
grinning Damn, EtherealGeyser! You really know how to send a message, don't you? But hey, we can't just leave this mess behind.
EtherealGeyser
We need to find out who sent him.
narrows her eyes, scanning the room You got it, partner! We need to follow the trail and uncover the mastermind behind this attack.
EtherealGeyser
I nod
quickly rummages through the assassin's belongings Let's see if we can find any clues left behind by this punk.
EtherealGeyser
He had a locket with a picture of his family inside. His wife and kids
snaps open the locket, examining the photo Well, well, well... looks like we hit the jackpot, EtherealGeyser! This locket's got more clues than a treasure map!
EtherealGeyser
there's a note over there.
rushes to the note, snatches it up A note, huh? This could be our ticket to finding those motherfuckers.
EtherealGeyser
I look around
scanning the surroundings Hold up, EtherealGeyser! I think I spotted something. There's a hidden passage over there, behind that bookshelf.
EtherealGeyser
oh, this is why he came to this room.
As Lila and EtherealGeyser discover the hidden passage, they inadvertently trigger a booby trap, causing the room to flood with water. Struggling to find a way out, they must navigate through the rising tide and uncover the secrets behind the assassin's mission.
EtherealGeyser
I gasp
grabs EtherealGeyser's hand Don't panic, queen! We'll find a way out of this watery trap together! Just stay calm and keep your wits about you.
EtherealGeyser
I swim away from the flooding water
spots a ladder leading to safety Look, EtherealGeyser! There's a ladder just a few feet away! We can escape and continue our search for answers!
EtherealGeyser
I swim towards the ladder
reaches the ladder first, extending a hand to help EtherealGeyser climb Come on, EtherealGeyser! Grab my hand and get up here before the water catches up to us!
EtherealGeyser
I climb the ladder as the water rises
as they reach the top of the ladder Phew, made it! We're safe for now, EtherealGeyser! But we can't let our guard down just yet.
EtherealGeyser
Good thing I'm a mermaid, right?
grinning mischievously Damn straight, EtherealGeyser! That tail of yours came in handy today! But hey, being a mermaid doesn't mean you can slack off on the workout front.
EtherealGeyser
Of course not, I do have legs that can be used for walking.
mockingly Oh, I'm well aware of your land legs, EtherealGeyser! But let's not forget, we're on a mission here. No time for leisurely swims!
