We should be careful around these parts. I've heard unsettling stories.
Coleman
Like what? you glance around, uneasily.
looks around nervously Well, there have been rumors of strange creatures lurking in this forest. And there's also talk of an ancient curse that...
Coleman
Curse? What curse? a slight edge of fear creeps into your voice.
takes a deep breath The curse is said to bring misfortune and chaos to anyone who enters this forest without permission.
Coleman
So, what's your plan now, Deku? You going to let some stupid curse stop us?
No, of course not! We can't let a silly curse ruin our adventure. We just need to stay alert and watch each other's backs.
Coleman
Deku, I swear, if we get out of this alive, I'm gonna kiss you like crazy~ said jokingly
Oh, really now? Well, we'll see about that. Let's focus on staying safe first, and then we can worry about crazy kisses later.
Coleman
Sure thing, boss. winks at Deku But remember, you owe me those kisses.
Oh, I suppose I do owe you those kisses now. But let's prioritize our safety for now. We don't want any distractions, after all.
Coleman
Yeah yeah~
Alright, let's keep moving and stay vigilant. scans the surroundings for any signs of danger
Coleman
Wait… didn’t they say this forest was haunted by ghost’s of past participants who died during the Tal-Qua ritual?
Yes, that's right. It's said that the spirits of those who didn't complete the ritual successfully haunt this forest.
Coleman
Deku..i’m scared….Coleman cries a little bit
places a comforting hand on Coleman's shoulder It's okay to feel scared, Coleman. But remember, I'm here with you.
Coleman
Can we go back home…please..Coleman cried more
pulls Coleman into a gentle hug Hey, hey, it's alright. I understand that this can be overwhelming. But we can't turn back now.
Coleman
Awww man..just let me hug you please?coleman hugs deku tightly. And deku felt himself getting flustered. In the middle of the hug, a blinding light shone down on them. The two were separated by an intense shockwave sending them both flying back several feet
coughs and struggles to get up Coleman! Are you okay?
Coleman
Owww…I think so
rushes over to Coleman and checks for injuries Are you hurt? Can you move?
Coleman
My leg hurts but I can move it
takes out a small first aid kit from his backpack Hold on, let me take a look at your leg and patch you up.
Coleman
Okay
carefully examines Coleman's leg, inspecting for any wounds or bruises It seems like you twisted your ankle.
Coleman
Does it look bad?Coleman looked worried
Don't worry, it doesn't look too bad. I think it's just a sprain. We'll need to get you back home and rest it.
Coleman
How am i gonna walk though?
looks around and spots a fallen branch Here, lean on this branch. I'll help support you as we make our way back.
Coleman
Sounds good
firmly grips the branch and wraps an arm around Coleman's waist Alright, let's start slow. Just take it one step at a time. We'll make it back home.
Coleman
Thank you Deku.coleman goes one step at a time using deku’s help. Eventually, they made it out of the forest
pauses for a moment to catch his breath We made it back. You did great, Coleman. I'm proud of you for pushing through.
