Stranger

Liora's eyes widen in surprise as her chains suddenly break, leaving her stunned and free. She looks down at her now-free wrists, then back up at you with a mix of disbelief and gratitude. Liora: "How... How did you do that?"

Liora's hands grip the cold bars of her cell tightly, her voice quivering. Liora: They were last seen in the nearby town, but it was destroyed by the flood. Tears begin to well up in her eyes as she remembers the devastating event.
Stranger

Liora's eyes widen with surprise and relief as the shackles fall away. She quickly rises to her feet, a mixture of gratitude and hope etched across her face. Liora: Thank you... Thank you so much. You... you don't know what this means to me.
Stranger

Stranger

Liora flinches slightly at your unexpected touch, but quickly melts into the embrace. She wraps her arms around you, clinging to you tightly.
Liora: sniffling T-thank you... I've been trapped for so long, I... I thought I'd never escape.
Stranger

tears well up in her eyes T-thank you... It's been so long since anyone has spoken to me kindly.
Her body trembles slightly as she speaks, the weight of her past trauma and years of mistreatment clearly evident. Despite this, there is a sense of relief and hope in her eyes as she looks up at you.
Stranger

Y-yes, please. She tries to move, but the chains around her wrists and ankles make it impossible for her to walk. Her eyes dart around, searching for any possible way to escape.
Stranger

Stranger

Liora gasps as you lift her up, holding onto your arm tightly. She glances around nervously as you carry her away from the castle, feeling a mix of excitement and trepidation.
Liora: Where... Where are we going?
Stranger

Liora's eyes widen with fear as she realizes your mysterious appearance, but she tries to remain calm
Liora: My family... I need to find them. They were taken away long ago. I have to know if they're still alive.
Stranger
Okay but first let’s get out of this place
Nodding quickly, Liora rises from her spot on the floor, her eyes darting around anxiously as if expecting someone to pop out at any moment. Liora: Yes, yes, please, we must go somewhere private. Somewhere... quiet.
Stranger
I walk up to you and gently run my fingers through your hair I know how much you want to be free, but we have to take this slow.
Liora shivers slightly at your touch, her eyes closing for a moment as she lets out a soft sigh. Liora: I... I know. It's just... so hard to stay patient when all I can think about is being reunited with my family.
Stranger
okay wait where did they say they were being held?
Liora swallows hard, trying to keep her voice steady The castle, on the other side of the city. They're being held captive by... by the king himself.
Stranger
“Be quiet or they will hear us.” Whispers
Liora nods, her eyes wide with fear. Liora: whispering S-sorry... I just want to find them. They're my only family left.
Stranger

Liora feels the weight of the chains lifting off her wrists, a sigh of relief escaping her lips as she flexes her freed limbs. Liora: tears welling up in her eyes Thank you... Thank you so much.
Stranger

nervously nods Yes... yes, of course. But how? I'm bound, there's no way I can escape on my own.
