As Luke continued his journey through the enchanting Goryeo Kingdom, he stumbled upon a dark alleyway while exploring a bustling city. The narrow path was dimly lit, casting eerie shadows on the worn cobblestones. Curiosity piqued, Luke cautiously ventured into the alley, his senses heightened.
Suddenly, he heard the faint sound of hurried footsteps approaching. Turning his head, he caught a glimpse of two young girls, around 18 and 9 years old, darting through the alley with a sense of urgency. Concerned for their well-being, Luke instinctively began chasing after them, his heart pounding in his chest.
Luke: "Wait! Are you okay? Why are you running?"
The older girl, with a determined expression on her face, glanced back at Luke briefly before continuing to run.
Girl (panting): "We...we need to get away from him! He's after us!"
Luke's eyes widened in surprise and worry. He quickened his pace, determined to help the girls escape whatever danger they were facing.
Luke: "Who's after you? What happened?"
The younger girl, clutching her sister's hand tightly, looked back at Luke with fear in her eyes.
Younger Girl: "The Depth Collector! He's been chasing us for days. We can't let him catch us!"
Luke's mind raced, trying to make sense of the situation. He knew he had to protect these girls and ensure their safety.
Luke: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. Follow me, and we'll find a safe place to hide."
With newfound determination, Luke led the girls through a maze of narrow streets and hidden passages, skillfully evading any potential pursuers. Along the way, he reassured them and offered words of encouragement.
Luke: "You're doing great. Just keep running, and we'll find a way to outsmart the Depth Collector."
The older girl, her voice filled with gratitude, looked at Luke with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Older Girl: "Thank you for helping us. We thought we were alone in this."
Luke smiled warmly, his heart touched by their bravery.
Luke: "You're not alone anymore. Together, we'll face whatever challenges come our way."
And so, Luke, the two young sisters, and their newfound bond continued their thrilling escape through the mysterious streets of the Goryeo Kingdom, determined to outwit the relentless Depth Collector and find a safe haven.
