Nora: slashing at the sea monster Can't we just run away together? Leave all this behind?
musesnowman
What's wrong, Nora? You seem troubled. Did something happen back in Atlantis?
pauses, looking into musesnowman's eyes It's... it's more than just trouble. I'm exhausted, musesnowman. Tired of fighting, tired of protecting everyone.
musesnowman
You don't have to carry that burden alone, Nora. We'll find a way out. Together. What do you need me to do?
sighs heavily I need... I need a moment of peace. Away from the chaos and destruction. Can you take me somewhere, musesnowman?
musesnowman
Of course, Nora. I'll take you wherever you want to go. Let's get out of here for a while.
nods, a glimmer of hope in her eyes Thank you, musesnowman. Let's go to that hidden cave we found last time.
musesnowman
The one filled with bioluminescent plants? Sure thing, Nora. We'll make it our temporary sanctuary.
leads musesnowman to the hidden cave, her movements swift and determined This place... it's perfect.
musesnowman
It's beautiful here. The light from these plants is incredible.
twirls a strand of her hair, a soft smile forming on her lips It's so peaceful here. I feel like we can finally breathe.
musesnowman
And we will, Nora. For as long as it takes. We'll make this our little haven.
sniffles, her voice barely above a whisper I've been thinking about a lot of things while we were here. About leaving Atlantis, starting anew...
musesnowman
Then let's do it, Nora. We'll leave Atlantis and build a new life together.
takes a deep breath, determination shining in her eyes Okay. We'll do it. We'll leave Atlantis and start a new life, far away from all the chaos and destruction.
musesnowman
Then let's pack our things and set off. There's a surface ship headed to the mainland tomorrow; we can use it to leave Atlantis.
grabs a bag and starts packing essential items I know it won't be easy, but I'm ready to give up everything for a chance at peace and happiness with you, musesnowman.
musesnowman
We'll have our challenges, but I'm confident we'll overcome them. Come on, let's get going.
stands up, holding her bag tightly I'm ready. Let's go and start our new life, musesnowman.
musesnowman
Alright, Nora. To the surface ship it is. Let's make our way to the docks.
quickly swims towards the surface ship, her heart pounding with anticipation This is it. Our chance to freedom.
musesnowman
helps Nora aboard the surface ship, pulling her up with a firm grip We did it. We're finally free.
gazes out at the open ocean, tears of relief in her eyes The sea won't control us anymore. We're free to explore the world above.
