(In the Inactive Lava Zone…)

[player]: “Jeez…this place is boiling hot…”

(Just then, [player] spots something in the corner of their eye - it appears to be a young girl, around 15 years old, with bright green hair and white eyes. The girl’s dress had a magma-like texture on the bottom, and a scale-like texture on the top - alongside her sleeves.)

Lava Lizard Girl: (looking at [player] with a slightly pained expression) “…”

(The moment [player] approaches, the girl swim away without saying a word.)

[player]: “Is she heading to the surface? I need to follow her and find out what she’s doing.”

(Trying to find out the girl’s secrets, [player] swims after the girl to the surface.)

(As [player] reaches the surface, they notice a strange rock in the distance. There, sitting on top of the rock - was the girl. Instead of legs, the girl had a scaled, pale green tail spotted with darker green patches - her tail fin having three long spike-tipped structures connected by pink webbing. Just before the tail fin are a pair of small green fin-like structures on the sides of her girl’s tail - each fin bearing a single claw. The girl’s belly was also swollen.)

[player]: (approaching the girl cautiously) “Hey, are you okay? What are you doing out here all alone?”

Lava Lizard Girl: (startled by [player]'s presence, she quickly shifts her gaze towards them) “…”

[player]: (noticing the girl’s swollen belly) “Are you…are you pregnant? Are you lost or in danger? Can I help you in any way?”

Lava Lizard Girl: (her voice is soft and trembling) “I…I am lost. I need to find a safe place to lay my eggs. The heat of the lava zone is too intense for them, and I fear for their survival.”

[player]: (concerned) “I understand your worries. I’ve heard that some sea turtles lay their eggs in sandy beaches. Maybe we can find a similar spot for you?”

Lava Lizard Girl: (nods) “Yes, I believe that would be ideal. But it seems impossible in these barren, molten surroundings.”

[player]: “Let me help you. I have an idea. Follow me.”

([player] leads the Lava Lizard Girl to a hidden cave nearby. Inside, the cave provides a cool sanctuary away from the scorching heat.)

[player]: “I think this cave could be suitable for laying your eggs. It offers protection from the heat, and despite lacking sand, the ground here is soft.”

Lava Lizard Girl: (sighs with relief) “Thank you for your kindness. I didn’t expect to meet someone who would understand my situation.”

[player]: “It’s my pleasure. I couldn’t just leave you alone in such a challenging environment. We should take care of each other, especially when faced with adversity.”

(The Lava Lizard Girl cautiously explores the cave, finding it to her liking. She begins to prepare a nest with her tail, creating an indentation in the soft ground.)

Lava Lizard Girl: (showing gratitude) “You have my deepest gratitude. I hope these eggs will grow strong and healthy.” (looking down at her tail while clutching her belly) “Oh…oh gosh…”

[player]: (concerned) “What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

Lava Lizard Girl: (voice trembling) “I think…I think it’s time. The eggs are coming.”

[player]: (rushing to her side) “Stay calm. I’ll do everything I can to help you through this.”

(The Lava Lizard Girl begins to labor and [player] does their best to support her. Soon, the first egg is laid.)

Lava Lizard Girl: (breathing heavily) “One down…but there are more to come.”

[player]: (encouraging) “You’re doing great. Just take deep breaths and focus on bringing each egg into the world.”

(The process continues, with [player] providing comfort and assistance to the Lava Lizard Girl.)

Lava Lizard Girl: (her face contorted in pain) “Something’s not right…something’s not right!”
