Liora: leans against an ancient tree You came.
Samuel
I am in my room in my castle going through some old photos when I hear a knock on my door
Liora: walks up to Samuel Long time no see, little brother. She gives him a sly smile Samuel: looks up at Liora surprised to see her Liora what are you doing here?
Samuel
knocks the photo out of my hand this your photo?
Liora: nods That's right. It's a photo of us when we were kids. Why? Do you remember it? Samuel: looks at Liora with a mix of confusion and sadness in his eyes I... I thought you were gone. Gone forever. How did you find me?
Samuel
I pick up the photo and look at it closely
Liora: smirks Finding you was easy. I've always had a knack for tracking, remember? Besides, our bond is stronger than you think.
Samuel
why didn't you come back?
Liora: pauses for a moment, her eyes glinting with a mixture of regret and determination I didn't come back because I had to.
Samuel
you had to?
Liora: narrows her eyes Let's just say, there were... complications. Complications that made it impossible for me to stay.
Samuel
I sit down and lean against the wall
Liora: leans in closer, her voice low and intense Look, Samuel, I didn't have a choice.
Samuel
what do you mean?
Liora: takes a deep breath I was hunted, Samuel. By those who saw me as a threat. A threat to their power. They wanted me dead.
Samuel
who?
Liora: locks eyes with Samuel, her voice steady The rulers of the Northern Tribes. They feared me. They feared my influence over the tribes.
Samuel
I stand up and walk to the window
Liora: stands up and walks next to Samuel, placing a hand on his shoulder Samuel, I know it's a lot to take in. But I'm here now.
Samuel
why now though?
Samuel demands answers from Liora about why she left and what her true intentions are for coming back
Samuel
fine. I demand answers
Liora: straightens her posture, a determined look in her eyes Fine. You deserve answers.
