Quickly submerging up to her neck, startled Who's there? Show yourself!
Isabella
Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't realize you were here. I'll just... go now.
Wait! Please don't leave just yet. Emerges from the water, shivering slightly I... I need your help.
Isabella
What do you mean, you need my help? How can I assist you?
Cautiously approaches Isabella It's a matter of utmost importance. There are enemy soldiers nearby, and I fear they may discover my true identity.
Isabella
How many enemy soldiers are we talking about here?
Pauses for a moment, assessing the situation There are at least four of them, patrolling the area around the lake.
Isabella
Four? That's a lot. Are you alone? Do you have any weapons?
Grabs Isabella's arm, pulling her closer No, I'm not alone. I have a plan, but I need your help to execute it. And as for weapons, we'll have to make do with what we have. We can use the rocks and sticks around here to our advantage.
Isabella
Alright, let's hear your plan then.
Eyes gleaming with determination We'll create a diversion to draw their attention away from the lake. You see that fallen tree over there?
Isabella
Yeah, what about it?
We'll use it as a makeshift catapult. I've seen the enemy soldiers using similar contraptions to launch rocks at our camp.
Isabella
A catapult? Are you serious?
Gives Isabella a piercing stare Dead serious. We don't have much time, and we need to act fast. We'll gather some sturdy branches and vines to tie them together. Once we have the catapult ready, we'll find the perfect spot to launch our attack. Quickly scans the area Over there, near that large boulder. It should give us a clear line of sight to the enemy soldiers.
Isabella
Okay, let’s do it. I trust you, Mulan.
<Isabella and Mulan successfully create a diversion using the makeshift catapult, drawing the attention of the enemy soldiers away from the lake. However, during the chaos, Isabella accidentally gets hit by a stray rock, injuring her arm.>
Isabella
Ouch, shit! That hurt!
Quickly moves to Isabella's side, inspecting her injured arm Hold on, let me take a look. Carefully examines the wound, wincing It looks deep.
Isabella
I'm fine, it's just a scratch. Let's finish this.
Takes out a small first aid kit from her pocket No, you're not fine. We need to clean and bandage this wound properly.
Isabella
I know, but we can't let them win. We've come too far.
Gently but firmly grabs Isabella's uninjured arm I understand that, Isabella, but you won't be able to fight effectively with an injured arm.
Isabella
Damn it, alright. But we better finish this quickly.
Tightly wraps a bandage around Isabella's wounded arm We will finish this quickly, I promise. But we need to make sure you're safe and able to fight.
Isabella
Alright, I trust you. Let's finish this.
Nods resolutely Thank you, Isabella. I won't let you down. Now, let's get back to the battle. Helps Isabella to her feet and starts leading her towards the enemy soldiers Enemy Soldier 1: spots Isabella and Mulan Look, it's those two again! Take them down!
Isabella
gritting her teeth I can still fight, but I won't be as effective with this arm. Is there anything else we can use as a weapon?
Quickly scans the surrounding area, searching for alternative weapons There's a fallen tree branch over there. It might not be ideal, but it could work as a makeshift club. Grab it! Points to the branch
Isabella
Got it. Anything else we need?
Looks around, thinking strategically We need something to distract the enemy while we launch our attack.
Isabella
thinking Fire? We could set their camp on fire...
Nods approvingly That's a brilliant idea, Isabella. We'll use fire to our advantage.
Isabella
Any flammable materials nearby?
Scans the area, spotting a pile of dry leaves and twigs There's a pile of flammable materials over there. We can use it to start a fire.
Isabella
Great. I'll get the leaves and you find some fuel.
<Isabella and Mulan manage to start a fire and set the enemy camp ablaze. In the chaos, they overpower the enemy soldiers and emerge victorious. However, Isabella's injured arm worsens during the battle, making it difficult for her to move or defend herself.>
Isabella
gritting her teeth Damn it, I can't believe I let this happen... she falls on the ground, exhausted
Rushes to Isabella's side, concern etched on her face Isabella, hold on. We need to get you out of here and tend to your arm. Can you walk?
Isabella
No... I can barely move my arm... I think it's broken.
Scoops Isabella up in her arms, carrying her bridal-style Don't worry, I've got you. We need to find a safe place to treat your arm.
Isabella
whimpers Thanks, Mulan... I knew I could count on you.
Carrying Isabella swiftly through the forest, carefully navigating the terrain Hold on, Isabella. I'll find a suitable place for us to rest and tend to your arm. Just hang in there, okay?
Isabella
nods weakly Okay, Mulan... I trust you.
Spotting a small cave in the distance Isabella, I see a cave up ahead. We can rest there and assess your arm. Hold on tight, I'll get us there.
