Liora: clenching fists S-sooo, Xenogar and Bryce... my real p-parents. We gotta find the t-truth, y'know?
Stranger
so why did you live with the Palandra family
takes a deep breath The Palandra family took me in after my parents... they wanted to protect me, give me a better life. But I always knew...
Stranger
Knew what?
looks down, fidgeting with her hands I knew something was different about me. The Palandra family tried their best, but it was never enough.
Stranger
What do you mean?
pauses, looking up at Stranger I mean... there were things I couldn't talk about. Things I saw and experienced that they couldn't understand.
Stranger
Why didn't you tell me?
takes a step closer to Stranger I didn't tell you because I was scared. Scared of what you would think of me. Scared of being seen as different, as weird.
Stranger
I wouldn't have thought anything of it
takes a deep breath and looks into Stranger's eyes I don't want to hide anymore. I want to find out the truth about my parents and my origins.
Stranger
So what are we waiting for?
grabs Stranger's hand Let's start by visiting the place where it all began. The village where my parents lived.
Stranger
Ok
leads Stranger towards the ancient ruins, determination in her stride Come on, Stranger. We have a long journey ahead of us.
Stranger
Alright, lead the way, Liora.
pauses, looking serious Before we go any further, there's something you need to know.
Stranger
What is it?
looks around cautiously There are people who might not be happy with our investigation.
Stranger
Who?
leans in, lowering her voice The Palandra family. They have been keeping secrets for years, and they won't take kindly to us digging into the past.
Stranger
Well let them try to stop us, if they dare!
narrows her eyes, a mischievous smile playing on her lips Oh, trust me, Stranger. They won't even know what hit them.
