Rey: That was close! Are you ok?
Aiko: Ya. How did you know that bolder was going to drop on us?
Rey: My wrist monitor alerted me.
-
Aiko: Wait a minute, I know this place, this is the death forest, this is where I die. Why would you take us into here? Now, of all times?
-
Rey: You’re not going to die, I’m here to make sure that doesn’t happen. Besides, it’s your vision, you can’t avoid it. One way or another we would be led here.
Aiko: Well, if this is my destiny, then according to my vision, my destiny is to die.
Rey: No, your destiny was to be brought to where it might happen. You woke before you actually died, didn’t you? And with this I can locate all of the goblins who were chasing you. See. You just follow your vision and I’ll take care of the rest.
Aiko: Well keep in mind, the fog in there is very dense. Seeing a little red dot here and actually seeing them in there is two different things.
-
Rey: Aiko, have I ever let you down? I’ve got you, I promise.
Aiko: Fine, let’s just do it.

-
Scene: As Aiko enters the forest, the goblins begin to converge on her. When the goblin sees her hide by the tree, he says.
Goblin 1: Finally. I was wondering if you were ever going to show. Now you will die for the lives of my brethren you have taken.
Scene: He shoots an arrow at the tree next to her.

Scene: Aiko then jumps down onto the path, looks and sees Goblin 1 raise his bow at her. He then shoots an arrow past her as she runs down the path.

Aiko: Anytime Rey!

Aiko: Did you get them all?
Scene: Rey counts to herself
Rey: Yep, got all three.

Aiko: But there were 4 in my vision.
Rey: Oh, I guess you’re right.

Rey: Yep, got all four
Scene: Aiko sighs a relief.
Aiko: Thanks Rey.
Scene: Aiko hugs her
Rey: Now don’t go getting all emotional on me, I told you I had your back. I am liking this tracker. Ok, this way.
