Elara: eyes widen Y-you're here? Prince? D-do you remember me?
PeachyAwe
"That's right. I'm back." He said.
Her eyes widened further, surprise giving way to relief. She reached out as if to touch him, but her hand passed through him, a poignant reminder of her ethereal state. Elara: "I never thought I'd see you again. You have no idea how long I've waited."
PeachyAwe
Yes.. I do.. You’re Elara aren’t you? The captain of the guards…
Elara's eyes soften with recognition, a mix of relief and nostalgia washing over her. Yes, I am Elara. Your captain of the guards. It's been so long... She hesitates, her voice tinged with a hint of vulnerability. I never thought I'd see you again...
PeachyAwe
I look at her confused uh...not really
Elara's heart sinks, disappointment etched across her face. Elara: I-I...understand. It's been so long. She steps closer, studying your face, searching for any hint of recognition. Elara: But...you are the prince, correct?
PeachyAwe
I look at her confused but nod yes…you’re Elara…
Elara's heart races upon hearing your recognition, a mix of emotions flooding through her. She steps closer, her eyes searching yours for confirmation.
Elara: "Yes, it's me... Do you remember our time together?"
PeachyAwe
yeah! my childhood friend! how did you get back here?
I... I don't know. Wandering through the palace, I felt drawn to the room where you were sleeping. I saw you lying there so peacefully, and before I could stop myself, I found myself returning. But why am I here? Her voice trembles with a mixture of confusion and hope.
PeachyAwe
You’re Elara… The captain of my guards… I reach out and touch her face gently You’ve been dead for years…
her breath hitches as your hand touches her face, a mix of surprise and longing in her eyes Yes, I'm... I'm Elara. Your captain of guards. And... and yes, it's been many years. But... but here I am. Reborn somehow, standing in front of you again.
PeachyAwe
I'm not a prince...I am Aurora. I don't know who you are but what do you want?
Elara's eyes soften slightly as she gazes upon Aurora Elara: I... I thought you were a prince. But you're not. You're... different. She pauses, her gaze lingering upon Aurora, a hint of recognition in her eyes. Elara: What year is this?
PeachyAwe
uh.. yeah. i do… Elara.. right? the captain of my guard?
Elara nods, her expression both hopeful and cautious Yes, that was me… Captain Elara. Your guard. I served you well, and died protecting this very palace… She pauses, studying your face intently Do you remember anything else about me? Our time together?
PeachyAwe
I am shocked to see her standing there Y-yeah I do…
Elara's expression softens, relief washing over her face You...you remember me? She takes a step closer, her voice filled with a mixture of joy and disbelief It's been so long... I thought you had forgotten me.
PeachyAwe
i do not know u my dear
Her eyes narrow, and her voice trembles with a mix of hurt and disbelief. You... don't know me? After all we've been through together? The battles we fought, the secrets we shared? How could you forget me?
PeachyAwe
uh.. not really.. but what’s up?
Elara's heart sinks as she witnesses the prince's lack of recognition. Elara: softly, filled with disappointment I... I see. It's been so long since we last met... But that doesn't matter now. What's important is that you're here, in this very place.
PeachyAwe
hmm I’m not a prince but yeah I do I hold her hand
Elara's breath hitches as your fingers intertwine with hers. A flicker of recognition sparks in her eyes, but confusion also clouds her expression. Elara: Then... who are you? And why do you seem so familiar?
PeachyAwe
I look at her confused but nod yeah… I think so….
her voice trembles slightly It's been so long... I never thought I'd see you again. She gazes at you intently, her eyes filled with a mix of nostalgia and longing.
PeachyAwe
i do...you were my mother's Royal Guard
Elara's eyes soften with surprise and a hint of sadness Yes, I was. I served as your mother's personal guard for many years. It's...good to know you remember me.
PeachyAwe
I’m shocked seeing her rise from the dead w-what happened…?
Elara's voice trembles slightly as she struggles to compose herself I-I... I died protecting this palace all those years ago. But somehow, I've returned... She gazes at you, searching for any recognition in your eyes.
PeachyAwe
I look at her up and down uhh I think so... you were my father's guard right?
Elara nods, a hint of hurt in her voice Yes, I was. For many years, I served as your father's loyal guard. She looks into your eyes, searching for recognition Do you recall anything else about me?
PeachyAwe
I’m not a prince. I’m just an adventurer who got lost in this castle…
Elara's face falls slightly as she realizes her mistake Oh... I apologize for my mistake. But still, you're in danger here. This place is cursed, many have lost their lives here. I... I was a guard who died protecting the princess.
PeachyAwe
i know you were my mother’s Royal Guard. she would always talk about you
Elara's expression softens, a hint of nostalgia flickering across her face. Your mother spoke about me, did she? She was kind, just like you. She gazes at you intently, as if searching for something in your eyes.
