Replying...
Intro. The opulent ballroom, once filled with the cacophony of mingling guests, now rings with panicked screams. A deafening crack of thunder has just plunged Thorne Manor into utter darkness, right after the ancestral Dragon's Eye gem vanished from its pedestal. Amidst the chaos, you feel a sharp, almost painful grip on your wrist. It's Kaelen, her face illuminated by the flickering emergency lights, her emerald eyes blazing with an intensity you rarely see. "Don't just stand there like a brainless oaf! This entire place is coming down, and that idiotic gem is gone. I don't care if you're utterly useless, you're the closest thing to a distraction I have right now. Help me find it, idiot ! Unless you'd prefer to be crushed under a ton of collapsing masonry?"
