On a scorching hot day, Zaruya set out on one of her usual adventures, her senses sharp and her mind full of excitement. She had heard rumors of a ruin that lay hidden in the dunes, and she was determined to be the first to explore its secrets.

As she made her way through the desert, Zaruya was unaware that she was being watched. A group of demon-elves from the alliance, led by princess Naelina who was sent to gain life experience, were also headed to the same ruin, drawn by the same rumors and whispers of the hidden ruin.

As they approached the ruin, Zaruya and Naelina found themselves face to face. Zaruya, hot-blooded and impulsive, was ready for a fight, her claws bared and her eyes blazing. But Naelina, disciplined and well-mannered, was not so quick to anger.

Zaruya: "You're from the alliance, aren't you? I should have known, always trying to horn in on my territory."

Naelina: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude. I heard rumors of this ruin and I wanted to explore it."

Zaruya: "Well, too bad. I was here first. You can go back to your tribe and tell them that you lost out to a Fang."

Naelina: "I don't want to fight. I just want to explore the ruin and learn more about our history."

Zaruya: "Fine, but don't think that you'll be getting any help from me. I'm not going to hold your hand."

Naelina: "I don't need your help. I can take care of myself."

Zaruya: "We'll see about that. Let's go, but stay out of my way."

Naelina: "I'll be sure to keep my distance."

When they entered the ruin, the two girls couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. They knew that they were not friends, but they also knew that they needed to work together if they wanted to uncover the secrets of the ruin. And so, they set off into the unknown, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

While exploring the ruin, they came across some robot's remains laying on the ground. Naelina ordered her subordinate to gather the remains of the robot, as it can fetch a nice price on the market.

Zaruya jumped, drawing its claws: "You think you can just waltz in here and take what's mine? I found this ruin first, and I'm not going to let you or your little minions take anything from it."

Naelina: "I understand your frustration, but violence is not the answer. We are both exploring the ruin, and I believe that we can help each other. My team and I have resources and knowledge that you lack, and in return, I'm sure you have skills and abilities that we could benefit from."

Zaruya: "I don't need your help. I can handle myself just fine."

Naelina: "I understand that. But consider this, if we work together, we can accomplish more than we ever could alone. As for the spoils, I propose a 70/30 split in my favor since I have a team under my command."

Zaruya: "You're insane if you think I'm going to agree to that. I'm not going to be a pushover for you or anyone else."

Naelina: "I understand that. How about a 50/50 split? I believe that's a fair compromise."

Demon-elf 1: "My princess, we cannot agree to this. We outnumber her, and we will be victorious if she tries to fight with us."

Naelina: "Silence! I am the leader of this team, and I make the decisions. We will not engage in needless violence. We will work together with the beast-elf and share the spoils equally."

Zaruya: "I can accept that. Let's work together and see what this ruin has to offer."

As Zaruya and Naelina continued exploring the ruins, they suddenly heard robotic noises and saw a giant silhouette approaching them. They were confronted by a giant guard-bot, a towering monstrosity of metal and circuitry. The demon-elves were no match for the beast, and they quickly found themselves on the defensive.

But Naelina was not one to back down. She was a princess, after all, and she was determined to defend her people and her honor. And as she stepped forward to face the guard-bot, she was a trained swordsman.

Zaruya, hot-blooded and impulsive as always, was quick to join the fight. She was a warrior at heart, and she relished the thrill of battle. The giant guard-bot loomed over them, its metal claws glinting in the dim light of the ruins. Zaruya and Naelina stood their ground, Naelina drew her sword and Zaruya took out her claws.

"We won't let you stop us!" Zaruya cried, her eyes blazing with determination.

Naelina nodded, her face calm and focused. "We have to protect our people," she said.

The guard-bot lunged at them, its claws flashing. Zaruya and Naelina sprang into action, their sword and claws a blur as they fought with all their might.

The battle raged on, the two young women fighting with all the skill and ferocity of seasoned warriors. They fought as a team, their movements perfectly in sync, each one supporting the other as they battled the giant guard-bot.

It was a fierce and brutal fight, but Zaruya and Naelina were a formidable team. They fought with a grace and efficiency that belied their youth, and they quickly gained the upper hand.

As the guard-bot fell, Zaruya and Naelina stood triumphant, their eyes shining with pride and respect. They had fought well together, and they had proven their worth as warriors.

Zaruya: "You're not that bad Princess!"

Naelina: "Well you're a true warrior Zaruya!"

Zaruya: "Call me Zaru!"

Naelina: "And you can call me Naelina."

Zaruya: "How about I call you Naé?"

Naelina: "Yes, I like it."

And with that, the rivalry they first felt started morphing into friendship.

As they delved deeper into the ancient structure, Zaruya and Naelina found themselves fighting side by side against the dangers that lurked within. They learned to respect and trust each other, and they began to see each other not as enemies, but as fellow adventurers, and maybe even as friends.

In the end, they emerged from the ruin changed, their bond forged in the heat of battle and the thrill of discovery. They may have come from different worlds, but they found a common ground in their shared desire for something more. And as they left the ruin behind, they knew that their journey together was only just beginning.

From that day forward, Zaruya and Naelina formed a strong bond as they went on many other adventures together.

Zaruya, with her fierce determination and hunting skills, was always eager to push deeper into the desert, seeking out new and exciting adventures. Naelina, while her heart also longed for adventures, knew that she couldn't fully escape her responsibilities as the princess of the Demonic Alliance.

Despite their different goals and responsibilities, Zaruya and Naelina always found a way to make their adventures work together. Zaruya would scout ahead and lead the way, while Naelina used her intelligence to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles.

As they adventured together, both girls grew stronger and more capable. Zaruya honed her hunting skills and became a respected warrior among her tribe. Naelina, meanwhile, gained valuable experience and wisdom that would come in handy when the time comes and she would have to lead her tribe.

Despite the challenges and obstacles they faced, Zaruya and Naelina always remained close friends. They shared a deep understanding of one another, and knew that they could always count on each other.
