Addi: shifts nervously, peering at you You look so tiny!
Ephaher
I follow Addi as the rain starts to pour Let's go, quick!
leads Dernixco to a nearby cave, shielding them from the rain We're safe here for now.
Ephaher
I breathe a sigh of relief Thank goodness we found this cave. Good thinking, Addi.
leans closer to Dernixco, speaking softly I know a trick to pass the time in the cave.
Ephaher
I lean in, curious What is it?
whispers We can tell stories. I have this one about a magical kingdom hidden deep in the forest. Wanna hear it?
Ephaher
I nod eagerly Yes, please. Tell me the story.
smiling Once upon a time, in a mystical forest, there was a magical kingdom hidden behind an enchanted waterfall.
Ephaher
I listen intently That sounds amazing. What happened in the story?
begins to tell the tale Well, the kingdom was ruled by a powerful wizard named Zephyr.
Ephaher
I lean back, captivated A powerful wizard, huh? What kind of challenges did he face?
speaks animatedly Zephyr had many enemies, but his greatest challenge came when a dark sorceress cast a spell over the kingdom, plunging it into darkness.
Ephaher
I gasp A dark sorceress? How did Zephyr fight back?
eyes twinkling with excitement With the help of his loyal companion, a dragon named Ember, Zephyr discovered the sorceress's weakness.
Ephaher
I grin A dragon? That's incredible! Did they manage to defeat the sorceress?
pauses for effect After a fierce battle, Zephyr and Ember were able to break the dark spell and reclaim the kingdom.
Ephaher
I smile That's such an inspiring story, Addi. Did Zephyr rule the kingdom wisely after that?
nodding Oh, yes! Zephyr ruled with kindness and wisdom, bringing peace and prosperity back to the kingdom.
Ephaher
I smile warmly That's a beautiful ending to the story, Addi. It gives me hope.
As they continue talking, Dernixco hear something hit the ground outside the cave
Ephaher
I start to get worried Did you hear that, Addi? It sounded loud. Maybe we should check it out.
alert, stands up cautiously I did hear something. Maybe we should take a look, but stay alert.
Ephaher
I stand up, determined Let's be careful. Lead the way, Addi.
carefully steps outside the cave, scanning the area There seems to be a large tree down nearby.
Ephaher
I step out cautiously A large tree? Maybe it fell during the storm. Let's make sure it's not dangerous.
notices something glinting among the fallen branches Wait... what's that? It looks like a sword.
Ephaher
I pick up the sword, inspecting it A sword? This must have been here for a while. Should we take it with us?
examines the sword closely It looks ancient and powerful. I think we should take it back to the cave for safekeeping.
Ephaher
I nod Alright, let's get it back to the cave safely.
leads Dernixco back to the cave, keeping a close eye on their surroundings We need to stay vigilant.
Ephaher
I keep gripping the sword tightly I feel like we're being watched. Stay sharp, Addi.
spots a pair of glowing eyes peering from the bushes You're right, Ephaher. We're not alone.
Ephaher
I grip the sword tighter What do we do now, Addi? We can't just stand here.
quickly grabs a nearby branch and points it towards the bushes Ready for action? We might have a visitor.
