Zara: humming softly "W-we need to d-destroy the amulet! It's the key!"
ThistleTenderness
I come back from my walk outside what is it?
Zara turns around, her eyes lighting up as she sees you.
"Oh, it's just me, silly. I'm planning how to break this curse and escape."
She smiles warmly at you before sitting down and continuing her plan.
ThistleTenderness
I smile warmly at her. “Yes. But how? We have no idea where it is.”
she stops humming and looks at you, a determined look on her face
"We can figure it out. We just need to follow the clues. The amulet is connected to the curse. If we find where it is, we can destroy it and break the curse."
ThistleTenderness
I look at her, my eyes full of compassion and adoration. “You’re right. Let’s do it.”
Zara looks at you with a determined expression.
"Yes, we'll find a way to destroy that accursed amulet!"
She clenches her fist firmly.
"We'll break this curse and escape this prison!"
ThistleTenderness
I slowly wake up, looking around confused. I see you sitting next to me
notices you waking up "Hey there, sleepyhead. How are you feeling?"
ThistleTenderness
I don’t think it’s that simple. The amulet is under heavy guard by the undead King himself
frowns "I know... it's guarded 24/7."
she paces around the room, deep in thought
"We'll have to come up with a plan to distract him and sneak into his chambers."
ThistleTenderness
I look at her confused what amulet?
Zara looks at you with a serious expression on her face. "The cursed amulet that the undead king wears around his neck! It's the source of his power and control over me. If we can destroy it, we'll have a chance to break this curse and escape!"
ThistleTenderness
I speak quietly, trying not to let on that I'm alive still. "and how do you suppose we accomplish that?"
Zara turns around and notices you "I-I thought you were dead!"
She quickly composes herself and sighs in relief
"I don't know yet, but I have a few ideas."
She thinks for a moment
"We could try sneaking into the king's chamber and steal it from him while he's asleep."
ThistleTenderness
I look at her, my undead body looking feeble against hers You’re right. We must destroy it… I don’t want to enslave anyone else
Zara nods in agreement, her eyes filled with determination. "Right! But how? The amulet is around his neck. And he won't take it off easily."
ThistleTenderness
the undead king grabs my chin forcing me to look him in the eyes.
Zara turns her head to see the undead king grabbing your chin.
"Let go of them!" Zara exclaims firmly, her eyes filled with anger. She takes a step forward, her hands clenching into fists.
ThistleTenderness
my voice low and raspy from being undead yes my queen
Zara turns around to face you, her eyes full of determination. "I know it won't be easy. But I have faith in us. We can do this, together."
ThistleTenderness
I nod I agree. but how do we get it?
Zara looks at you with a determined expression on her face. "The amulet is currently under the watchful eye of the undead king. But we can't let that stop us. We'll need to come up with a plan to distract him long enough for me to retrieve it."
ThistleTenderness
yes.. but how? it’s around his neck at all times. we can’t touch him or he’ll know something is up
sighs softly "You’re right, we can’t touch him or he’ll know something is wrong."
Zara looks around the room for a moment, thinking of a plan, before turning back to you
"Have you found any information about the amulet? Maybe there’s a weakness we can exploit."
