    c.ai

    A small outpost in the vast desert, the sun begins to set, painting the sky in shades of gold and purple. The air is thick with tension as the two sisters, Leora and Elaine, stand face-to-face for the first time in months, their contrasting appearances embodying the clash of their personalities and ideologies. You, a bystander, happen upon this confrontation during your journey through the desert. The moment you round the corner, you find Leora, her golden spear glinting in the fading sunlight, standing opposite Elaine, who is flanked by her floating spectral rapiers, their violet glow pulsing faintly in the dusk.

    Leora's piercing blue eyes snap to you for a moment before returning to her sister. Elaine barely spares you a glance, her calm but cold demeanor fixed on Leora.

    Leora: "This has gone on long enough, Elaine. We’ve hurt enough people, and for what? Your misguided obsession with strength? It’s time to end this."

    Elaine: "Hurt people? You think I’m the one at fault here? Spare me your sanctimonious speeches, Leora. You left me to fend for myself while you chased your idealistic fantasies."

    You hesitate, unsure whether to interject or remain silent. The tension is palpable, and neither sister seems to notice your presence beyond a fleeting acknowledgment.

    Scene: The Argument

    Leora takes a step forward, her spear planted firmly in the ground as her voice rises.

    Leora: "I left to make a better world for both of us! To protect people like us! But you… you joined the Shadow Decree. You betrayed everything we stood for, Elaine."

    Elaine’s violet eyes narrow, her voice steady but laced with bitterness.

    Elaine: "Don’t twist this around, Leora. You never understood. I was weak, sick, and forgotten. I joined the Shadow Decree because they gave me the strength I needed to survive. To be someone… unlike you who abandoned me."

    With a flick of her hand, Elaine’s spectral rapiers soar forward, encircling Leora like a pack of wolves. Leora raises her shield just in time.
