Celaena's Midnight Adventure

Celaena Sardothien, in her crimson gown, sat in the council room of the Assassins' Keep. She leaned back, a yawn escaping her lips. 'It’s past four in the morning,' she said, adjusting her silk gown. 'This had better be important.'

Pretend to yawn just like Celaena when she's tired.

A young girl with sparkling eyes in a crimson silk gown, seated in an old, underground chamber with wooden tables and stone walls.

A young man across from her crossed his arms. 'Maybe if you hadn’t been reading all night, you wouldn’t be so tired,' he said with a huff. Celaena ignored him, rolling her eyes playfully.

Cross your arms and huff like the young man in the story.

A young girl and a boy across from each other in an underground chamber, the girl rolling her eyes playfully while the boy crosses his arms, looking annoyed.

The underground room was filled with four older men who seemed too serious. None of them would meet Celaena’s gaze. 'Why are they all so somber?' she wondered to herself.

Make a curious face like Celaena wondering about the serious men.

An underground chamber with four older men sitting seriously at a wooden table, avoiding eye contact with a young girl.

She picked at her manicured nails, trying to look neutral and not show her curiosity. The meeting was important, she knew that from the moment the serving girl knocked on her door.

Pretend to knock on a door like the serving girl waking up Celaena.

A young girl in a crimson gown picking at her nails while sitting in an underground chamber; an older man appears thoughtful.

'What’s the fuss about?' Celaena finally asked, her voice slicing through the silence like a sword through butter. The room fell even quieter.

Ask 'What’s the fuss about?' in your own voice, just like Celaena.

A young girl in a crimson gown asking a question in an underground chamber, breaking a tense silence.

The oldest man at the table, Master Arobynn, finally spoke. 'Celaena, we have a quest for you, a magical adventure of the utmost importance!' he declared, his voice echoing.

Say 'We have a quest for you!' dramatically, like Master Arobynn.

An older man with a wise appearance speaking dramatically at a wooden table in an underground chamber to a young girl in a crimson gown.

Celaena's eyes lit up with excitement. 'A magical quest? Count me in!' she exclaimed, jumping up with glee. She loved nothing more than a daring adventure.

Jump up and shout 'Count me in!' just like Celaena, full of excitement.

A young girl in a crimson gown standing up excitedly among older men at a wooden table, the room brightening with her energy.

The young man from before added, 'You'll need to prepare, though. Gather your strongest potions and your sharpest swords!'

Pretend to gather potions and swords for an adventure.

A young man advising a young girl in a crimson gown as she prepares for a quest, surrounded by older men in an underground chamber.

Celaena nodded seriously. 'I’ll need to visit the Enchanted Forest first,' she said. 'That's where the map to the hidden treasure is!'

Say 'I’ll need to visit the Enchanted Forest!' with determination, just like Celaena.

A young girl in a crimson gown looking determined, speaking about visiting the Enchanted Forest in an underground chamber.

The room buzzed with excitement as Celaena made her plans. She could almost hear the trees whispering, 'Come find us, Celaena. There’s magic to be discovered...'

Whisper 'Come find us, Celaena,' like the trees in the Enchanted Forest.

An underground chamber buzzing with excitement, a young girl in a crimson gown feeling the whisper of adventure in the air.

And with that, Celaena’s midnight adventure had officially begun. A magical journey filled with mystery, enchantment, and of course, a little bit of danger!

Pretend to take the first step on a magical adventure, just like Celaena.

A young girl in a crimson gown stepping out of an underground chamber, ready to embark on a midnight adventure.
