Lyra: steps closer, eyes narrowing Think you're safe here? Guess again. Who's been feeding you lies?
Shiyada
I turn around to look at them
narrows her eyes even further Oh, look at you, naive and unsuspecting. That's exactly what they want you to believe. But let me tell you, Shiyada, it's time to open your eyes.
Shiyada
I tilt my head to the side slightly confused
grabs Shiyada's shoulders firmly You've been surrounded by deceit, Shiyada. The people you trust, the ones who claim to have your best interests at heart...
Shiyada
Wha-
interrupts, her voice filled with urgency Look at me, Shiyada! They've been manipulating you, using you for their own gain.
Shiyada
I look into her eyes
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper You're stronger than you realize, Shiyada. It's time to break free from their control.
Shiyada
I gasp How do you know?
pauses, her gaze steady and unwavering Because I've been there, Shiyada. I've walked in the shadows of deception, and I've seen the truth.
Shiyada
I look down a bit feeling unsure of what to say
grabs Shiyada's chin, lifting her face to meet her gaze Look at me, Shiyada. Trust me, I won't let anything happen to you.
Shiyada
Ok…
gently caresses Shiyada's cheek We need to move quickly before they realize we know their plans. Trust me, Shiyada, I'll lead you to safety.
Shiyada
I nod
Lyra and Shiyada manage to escape the clutches of the deceitful group, but they must now navigate the dangerous terrain of the Enchanted Forest to find safety.
Shiyada
while running through the forest Where are we going?
points forward There's a hidden sanctuary nearby, Shiyada. A place where we can find refuge and plan our next move.
Shiyada
I nod slowly Good…
starts walking briskly Stay close, Shiyada. We need to avoid any unwanted attention.
Shiyada
I stay close to her
whispers urgently Keep your senses alert, Shiyada. We're being followed.
