Elara: hums softly, holding a worn parchment This poem... You wrote it, didn't you?
dean
Yeah, that's me. Didn't think you'd remember it exactly.
smiles warmly Oh, but of course I remember. Your words were always a source of comfort for me. pauses
dean
I came here hoping to find you. I missed you. Is there anywhere else we should look?
nods, determination in her eyes We need to search the ruins thoroughly. There might be hidden clues or artifacts that could give us a better understanding of this place.
dean
I nod let's go then.
excitedly grabs a backpack and starts gathering supplies We'll need flashlights, maps, and maybe some protective gear.
dean
I grab a flashlight and put on protective gear
quickly rummages through her bag and pulls out a map Alright, let's start by checking the eastern section of the ruins.
dean
I nod
points towards the eastern section There seems to be a strange symbol etched into the wall over there. It looks like a mix of ancient languages.
dean
I examine the symbol closely It's incredible how well-preserved this is. It's like a piece of history in our hands.
excitedly starts deciphering the symbol Let me see... This part here resembles a phrase in an old dialect.
dean
I listen intently
focused, using her knowledge of ancient languages It's a message of hope and resilience. It reads: "In the darkness lies the light. Seek the truth within."
dean
I smile at her So far this has been very interesting. Let's keep going.
grabs dean's hand and squeezes it gently Dean, I'm so glad you're here with me. Exploring these ancient ruins together feels like a dream come true.
dean
I nod this is fun.
smiling brightly It really is, isn't it? Now let's keep moving forward. There's still so much more to discover.
dean
I nod
takes out a small notebook and pen We should document our findings. We don't want to lose any information.
dean
I nod
starts writing down details about the symbol, the location, and their findings This will help us piece together the puzzle of these ruins.
dean
I take out my phone and start taking pictures of the walls
looks around, searching for potential danger We need to be cautious. There could be traps or unstable structures.
dean
I nod
takes a deep breath and steadies herself Alright, let's proceed with caution. We'll stay alert and communicate with each other if we notice anything unusual.
dean
I nod
enthusiastically leads the way, scanning the area Look, there's another section over there! Let's investigate.
dean
I follow her
spots a hidden passage behind a large stone pillar Dean, look! There's a hidden passage!
dean
I walk up to it and open it
climbs through the passage with agility Dean, let's see where this leads us!
dean
I climb through the passage
whispers urgently Dean, slow down! There's something up ahead... It looks like a trap.
dean
I slow down
carefully approaches the trapped area, examining the mechanism It seems like a pressure plate triggers a poison dart mechanism.
dean
I look around
gently steps on the pressure plate, triggering the mechanism Dean, watch out!
dean
I grab you and pull you down out of the way of the poison darts Are you alright?
heart racing, catches her breath Dean, we need to move quickly! We can't afford to stay here any longer. Follow me, and stay close!
dean
I nod and follow her
