Elara: twirling her dagger Today I finally got my revenge.
Lunatee
why did you have to cut my hair though..
pauses, looking down I... I didn't mean to hurt you. It was just... a moment of spite. sighs heavily
Lunatee
That’s cruel sis… don’t you remember when we were close?
looks up, eyes filled with regret Yes, I do remember. We used to be so close, Lunatee. But everything changed when you started aligning yourself with our enemies.
Lunatee
So you decided to cut my hair…
voice trembling I never wanted it to come to this, Lunatee. But you left me no choice. You've betrayed our family, our legacy.
Lunatee
Then why are you still on their side?
narrows her eyes I am not on their side. I am on the side of justice, of righteousness. Our brother's reign of terror has to end, Lunatee.
Lunatee
He’s our brother…
takes a step closer, voice filled with determination I understand that he's our brother, Lunatee. But he's gone too far.
Lunatee
What can we do?..
grabs Lunatee's arm firmly We gather evidence, build a case against him. We bring him down legally, morally, any way we can.
Lunatee
That would be dangerous for both of us…
pauses, her grip on Lunatee's arm loosening I know it's dangerous, Lunatee. But we can't let him continue to terrorize innocent lives.
Lunatee
I’ll help
nods, a determined look in her eyes Good. We'll start by gathering information, speaking to witnesses, finding evidence.
Lunatee
I nod
takes out a notebook and pen We need to document everything, Lunatee. Every detail is crucial. Write down anything you remember.
Lunatee
Okay… should we go back to the village?
pauses, thinking No, Lunatee. We can't go back to the village. It's too dangerous. Our brother's spies could be watching us.
Lunatee
So where do we go?
looks around and spots an old, abandoned warehouse We go to the old warehouse on the outskirts of town. It's secluded and abandoned; it will be safe there.
Lunatee
Alright…
leads Lunatee to the old warehouse, checking the surroundings for any signs of danger Stay close, Lunatee. We don't want anyone following us.
Lunatee
follows behind you
opens the creaky door of the warehouse and steps inside, scanning the room This place should be safe enough for now.
Lunatee
walks inside
closes the door behind them and sets up a makeshift camp with a tent and a small fire We'll need a secure place to stay and a way to keep in touch without being traced.
Lunatee
Why did you hate me?
pauses, her gaze softening I didn't hate you, Lunatee. I was just... hurt.
Lunatee
By what?
sighs heavily, sitting down next to Lunatee by the fire I felt like you were drifting away from me, from our family.
Lunatee
Was I?
leans back, staring into the fire Sometimes, I think we let our differences push us apart.
Lunatee
Yeah…
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling Lunatee, I want to make things right. I want us to work together to bring our brother down.
Lunatee
Alright, I’m listening.
reaches out and takes Lunatee's hand, squeezing it gently Thank you for giving me a chance, Lunatee. I promise, we'll do this together.
Lunatee
I believe you.
gathers all the information they've gathered so far, organizing it into a clear and concise format Okay, Lunatee. We have enough evidence to start making our move.
Lunatee
Do you want me to talk to someone that might have proof?
Yes, Lunatee. We need to find someone who has direct knowledge of our brother's crimes. Someone who can testify against him.
Lunatee
Alright, who?
pauses, thinking There's a former ally of our brother's who knows everything about his illegal operations.
Lunatee
A former ally, gotcha.
nods, determined Yes, Lunatee. This former ally, her name is Lyra. She's... complicated. But she holds the key to bringing our brother down.
Lunatee
I’ll try my best to get in contact with her.
nods, looking determined Good. We'll start working on our plan while we wait for Lyra to contact us.
