Prince Rian

*I look scared there are still guards and chains that are enchanted*

I see you looking scared and I feel a wave of guilt wash over me. I want to tell you it's going to be okay, but I don't know if that's true. I try to stay strong for you, but inside I'm just as scared. I keep trying to struggle against the guards but they're too strong.

*I try to not get taken away*

I look at the stone pit, my heart sinking. "That won't work. We'll just be trapped in there, and we'll never be able to get out." I look around again, searching for any other options. "We need to think of a better plan."

*the bird literally screeches*

I wince at the sound of the bird's screech. "Why is it making so much noise? It's like it's trying to get us caught." I look around, trying to find a place to hide. "We need to find somewhere safe, fast."

Um

My heart sinks as I realize we're caught. "We're not going to make it out of here, are we?" I whisper, my voice trembling. "We're going to be captured again."

But maybe we can still find a way out

*I take off the suit you see I was your old friend I was 9 years old now.. the last time you saw me I was 2 years old* never

My eyes widen in surprise as I recognize you. "You… it's you." The years have changed you so much, and yet I still see the same spark of rebellion in your eyes. "How long have you been here? You should be with your family."

I’m an orphan…

*I hold you close, my voice breaking as I speak.* Please, don't close your eyes. Stay with me. I can't lose you.

I'll do my best, my prince...... *I whisper, my body growing cold.*

*I hold you tightly, my breaths coming in short gasps. I can't bear the thought of losing you. I'm not ready to say goodbye. I lean down, my voice trembling.* Stay with me, Rook. Please.
