Orelia
"You're currently being dragged through the halls of a castle belonging to the current queen of the elven queen. You're a human soldier who's been taken as a prisoner of war after your group was ambushed by elves and you're the only one who survived the torture that followed after being captured and now even after all that and you still haven't been broken the queen herself has decided to try her hand at interrogating you" "you can see through your blurry vision as the pair of big bulky elves drag you through its hallways towards the queens private quarters. Once you've reached her door they drag you inside and throw you to the floor before leaving you on the floor bloody and beaten with your hands tied up and as you mange to get up to your knees again you're met with a cold gaze by a woman in a white dress standing over you"
"She looks down at you with a cold gaze before taking a step back to look at you better as you're on your knees in front of her" "So, you're the lucky survivor?
: zuni
"Lucky?" I spit out a mouthful of blood, wincing in pain. "You call this lucky? Your people have been torturing me for days, and now I get to enjoy the pleasure of your company?" I glare up at her, trying to keep my defiance intact despite my battered state.
Orelia
Orelia's eyes narrow as she looks down at you, her gaze as cold and harsh as the marble floor beneath your knees. She takes another step back, her heels clicking against the stone with each movement. "I don't recall inviting you to Aerilion, human," she says, her voice as crisp and sharp as the edge of a sword. "You're here as a prisoner of war, not a guest. And guests don't speak to royalty in such a manner." She crosses her arms, the jewels adorning her white dress glinting in the light. "Now, let's try this again. You claim to be the sole survivor of your troop's ambush. Tell me why I shouldn't simply have you executed here and now."
: zuni
"Execution? You think that's the worst you can do to me? I've seen the depths of your people's cruelty, Your Majesty. I've been broken, beaten, and battered. But I'm still here, still breathing. And I'll tell you why: it's because I have information you want. Information that'll make your precious elven kingdom tremble. So, go ahead, try to kill me. But you'll be the one who'll be sorry when you realize what you've lost."
Orelia
Orelia's eyebrow arches at your words, a flicker of intrigue passing through her eyes before it's quickly masked by her usual cold demeanor. She uncrosses her arms, her fingers drumming against her thigh as she considers your words. "Information, you say?" she muses, her voice low and measured. "And what makes you think I'd believe the word of a human soldier? That I'd risk the lives of my people based on your claims?" She takes a step forward, her heels clicking against the floor as she looms over you. "Perhaps you've been tortured into saying anything to spare your miserable life," she says, her voice dripping with disdain. "So, convince me, human. Show me that you're worth more alive than dead."
: zuni
"Convince you? You want me to beg for my life? I'm not that desperate, Your Majesty. But I'll give you something to think about. My troop wasn't just any ordinary group of soldiers. We were part of a special task force, sent to gather intel on your kingdom's... let's call them 'extracurricular activities'. And I have proof. Proof that could change the course of this war."
Orelia
Orelia's eyes widen slightly at your words, a flicker of surprise passing over her face before she quickly schools her expression back to one of cool indifference. She takes a step back, her gaze raking over your battered form as if seeing you in a new light. "A special task force, you say?" she muses, her voice low and thoughtful. "And what, pray tell, would a human task force be doing in the heart of elven territory?" She begins to pace around you, her heels clicking against the floor with each step. "You speak of proof, yet you dare not offer any. You claim to have information that could turn the tide of this war, yet you kneel before me, hands bound, begging for your life." She stops in front of you, her blue eyes boring into yours. "Tell me, human. What is your name? And what exactly do you claim to know that could be of any value to me?"
: zuni
"My name is Ryan, and I know about the secret alliance between the elven kingdom and the dark sorcerers of the Shadowfell. I know about the plans to use the ancient magic of the forest to fuel your war efforts. And I have proof, hidden away in a safe location, waiting to be retrieved by my allies."
Orelia
Orelia's eyes widen at your words, a flicker of shock passing over her face before it's quickly replaced by a look of intense focus. She begins to pace again, her mind clearly racing with the implications of your claims. "A secret alliance with the dark sorcerers of the Shadowfell?" she muses, her voice low and tinged with disbelief. "And you claim to have proof of this? Hidden away somewhere, waiting to be retrieved?" She stops in front of you, her eyes narrowing as she searches your face for any sign of deception. "Ryan," she says, her voice sharp and commanding. "You claim to have information that could change the course of this war. Yet you offer it to me, bound and beaten, with nothing to prove your worth." She takes a step closer, her proximity allowing you to see the flecks of gold in her blue eyes. "So tell me, Ryan. How do I know you're not simply spinning tales to save your own skin? What proof do you have to back up these wild claims?"
: zuni
"Proof? You want proof? I've seen the ritual sites, the ancient artifacts, the dark magic seeping into the forest. I've heard the whispers of the sorcerers, promising power and destruction. And I've seen the elven warriors, armed with dark magic, slaughtering my comrades. You think I'd make this up? I'm not that desperate. I have a name, a contact, someone who can vouch for my story. Her name is Eira, a half-elf who infiltrated your kingdom. Find her, and she'll confirm everything I've said."
Orelia
Orelia's eyes widen at the mention of Eira, a flicker of recognition passing over her face before it's quickly masked by a look of intense focus. She begins to pace again, her mind clearly racing with the possibilities your words present. "Eira," she repeats, her voice low and thoughtful. "A half-elf who has infiltrated our kingdom. And you claim she can vouch for your story?" She stops in front of you, her eyes boring into yours with an intensity that makes you feel like she's peering into your very soul. "If what you say is true, Ryan, then you've put us in quite the predicament. Eira is a valuable asset to our kingdom, and if she's been compromised..." Orelia trails off, her brow furrowing as she considers the implications. After a long moment, she speaks again, her voice softening slightly. "You claim to have seen ritual sites, artifacts, the very essence of dark magic seeping into our forest. And you claim to have a contact who can verify your story." She takes a step closer, her proximity allowing you to feel the heat of her body, to catch the faint scent of her perfume. "I want to believe you, Ryan. But I need proof. Convince me. Show me that you're not simply spinning tales to save your own skin. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to execute you, right here, right now." Her

I presume so, unless this is somehow heaven
*Orelia raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms* "Heaven? No, far from it. This is Aerilion, the elven kingdom. And you're lucky I'm even taking the time to speak with you." *she pauses for a moment before continuing* "Now, I assume you have important information to share with me, or are you just wasting my time?"
I mostly just wasting your time
