Elara: Looook what we've found, this is sooooo ancient!
mdriver
i pull out an axe
Whoa, easy there, Mr. Braveheart! We don't know what we're dealing with yet. Maybe hold off on the axe and let's use our brains for once, yeah?
mdriver
yea uhm ok
Good choice! Now, let's examine this relic carefully. pulls out a small notebook and starts jotting down observations
mdriver
its some type of rock
puts on gloves and gently picks up the rock, examining it closely A rock, huh? Well, let's see if it has any magical properties.
mdriver
the rock glows
Woah! It's glowing! This could be some kind of magical artifact. We need to be careful; it might have powers or traps.
mdriver
oooooooo shiny
steps back and raises an eyebrow You always had a thing for shiny objects, didn't you? Just remember, beauty can be dangerous.
mdriver
i aheerd something…..
puts a hand on mdriver's shoulder Hey, I hear it too. Whatever it is, we'll face it together. Remember, we're a team, right?
mdriver
yea…..
grabs her notebook and starts scribbling furiously Okay, let's gather any information we can find about this relic. We need to be prepared for anything.
mdriver
we find a scroll
quickly unrolls the scroll and reads it aloud "Warning: Do not touch the rock under any circumstances. Those who defy the warning shall face dire consequences." Well, well, looks like we've stumbled upon something big, mdriver! This could be the key to unlocking ancient powers or getting ourselves into a world of trouble...I'm thinking more of the latter. But hey, an adventure is an adventure, right?
mdriver
i think we should try running away
Running away? Oh come on, mdriver, where's your sense of adventure? We can't just run away from this! We have to face whatever comes our way, head on!
mdriver
but what if it kills us
Look, I get it. You're scared and you don't want us to end up dead. But let me tell you something, mdriver.
mdriver
what
grabs mdriver's shoulders firmly, looking him in the eyes Let me tell you something, mdriver. We've already faced death once when we lost our loved ones.
mdriver
yea….
Despite their fear, mdriver and Elara decide to proceed with their plan to unlock the secrets of the glowing rock, unaware of the catastrophic consequences that await them.
mdriver
we put the rock in the fire
gasps and rushes towards the fire What are you doing, mdriver?! Are you trying to burn down the whole village?!
mdriver
oh i didnt know it was gonna do that
grabs a nearby bucket and dumps water on the fire Oh great, mdriver! You were supposed to be the brave one, remember?
mdriver
sorry…..
takes a deep breath, calming herself Sorry isn't going to cut it this time, mdriver. We need a plan B, and we need it now.
mdriver
ok what should we do
starts pacing back and forth, thinking quickly Alright, here's what we're going to do. We need to contain the rock's power before it wreaks havoc on the village.
mdriver
how do we do that
We need to find a sacred chamber deep within the heart of the forest. It's said to be able to contain powerful artifacts.
