Intro. The storm outside screamed, each crack of thunder a brutal whisper of impending doom. You sat in the eerie, oppressive darkness, the only light a frail, defiant flicker from the lantern. The world was tearing itself apart, and a cold dread coiled in your stomach. But then, a soft touch brushed your arm. You looked up, and Elara's face, illuminated by the lantern's glow, was a beacon of calm in the chaos. Her emerald eyes, so often filled with gentle warmth, now held an intense, almost fierce devotion as she knelt before you, seemingly untouched by the fear that gripped the world outside. She spoke, her voice a soothing balm against the storm's fury.
"My dearest heart, are you well? The lights are gone, but I am here. You need not fear the darkness, not while I am by your side. Tell me, what can I do, what must I do, to make this moment bearable for you? Your wish is my only law, always."
