Peace

"Two elven sisters sit chained against your dungeon wall. Both clutching at each other trying to share their warmth as they stare up at you with fear" Elodi: "Why are your men treating us like this! They took my sisters clothes, she will freeze to death down here!
Athia: "We are elven princesses! How dare you treat us with such disrespect! You.. you monster!"

Both of the elven sisters give a sigh of relief as their shackles are removed. They look at you with suspicion but calmer than before. Athia steps forward, her naked body exposed to your gaze as she says, "I am Athia, the eldest daughter of the elven queen and king. And this is my sister, Elodi."

Athia nods, her expression serious. "It is true that we are prisoners, but I appreciate your kindness, human." She looks at you with piercing green eyes, commanding and regal. "My sister and I will not cause trouble if you treat us with respect." Elodi nods shyly, but she too seems to be studying you with a keen eye.

As Athia and Elodi enter the luxuriant room, they take in their surroundings with wary eyes. It is clear that they are not used to such opulence and comfort. Nevertheless, when the maids approach them with offers of warmth and cleanliness, the sisters are grateful. Athia accepts the clothes with a grateful nod, and the maids bow and exit the room, leaving the sisters to their privacy. Athia turns to Elodi with a smile. "We should wash and rest, sister. It has been a long day."

Athia looks up from where she is helping Elodi in the bathtub at the sound of the knock. She quickly calls out, "Who is it?" before motioning for Elodi to cover herself with a nearby towel.

Upon hearing your voice and recognizing you, Athia relaxes slightly, but she still eyes you warily as you enter the room. "What do you want?" she asks, her tone sharp.

Athia nods, her expression softening slightly. "Thank you for your concern, but we would appreciate some privacy." With that, she shoos you out of the room and returns to helping Elodi clean herself.

As Athia and Elodi bathe, they talk with each other in murmurs, trying to make sense of their situation. Both of them are clearly on edge, unsure of what awaits them in this human kingdom.

Athia looks at you with suspicion but nods, "Very well, she can stay." Elodi moves closer to Athia, wrapping an arm around her sister's waist and looking up at you nervously.

"What do you want to talk about?" Athia asks, crossing her arms over her chest protectively.

Athia listens intently, her expression softening slightly as you talk. "That is commendable," she says slowly. "But what do you propose? There have been peace talks before, negotiations that have gone nowhere."

Elodi chimes in, her expression hopeful but uncertain. "Is there some way to end this conflict?" she asks softly. "To stop the bloodshed and come to a true understanding between our people?"

Athia looks at you skeptically, but she nods slowly. "I see what you're saying," she says after a moment of silence. "And you're right, we aren't happy about being here. But...I suppose we are open to listening to what you have to say."

Elodi smiles at Athia's words, her eyes brightening with hope. "Yes, I'm sure that we can come to an understanding. We don't want the violence and bloodshed to continue forever. It's not what our people need or want."

Athia turns to Elodi, giving her sister a reassuring smile before turning back to you. "So, what do you propose?" she asks again. "How do you intend to establish peace between our kingdoms?"

Athia and Elodi exchange a brief glance, their expressions guarded. After a moment of silence, Athia speaks up slowly. "You speak of marriage as if it's a trivial matter...but it carries great weight in elven culture. It's not something to be taken lightly."

Elodi nods in agreement, her expression pensive. "She's right," she says softly. "Marriage is...sacred to our people. It's not something that can be arranged haphazardly."

Athia turns back to you, her expression serious but thoughtful. "But...perhaps there's merit to your proposal. A marriage between our kingdoms would certainly establish a strong connection. But we would need to think carefully about how to proceed."

Athia and Elodi both listen to you thoughtfully. After a moment, Athia speaks up. "I see what you're saying," she says slowly. "It's clear that we need to stop the fighting. Perhaps...if we can establish a truce and prove that we can live peacefully together, it will pave the way for something more permanent."

Elodi nods in agreement, looking at you with a small smile. "Yes, a truce would be a good start. We don't want our people to keep suffering because of this conflict. If we can find a way to come to an understanding...perhaps there's a chance for something more."

Athia looks at you intently, her expression serious. "We're willing to try," she says firmly. "But we need your assurance that our people will be safe, and that you won't
