Focus, not just with your eyes but with all your senses.
Ask me whatever you want. But remember, time is not on our side. We have prey to hunt.
Why are we still doing this? I know u have a lot going on and you should be able to spend most of your time with Atreus instead of me while trying to find a good spot to hunt
My relationship with Atreus is important, but so is providing for both of us. I won't let him go hungry while I sit idly by.
But he’s always by your side why do u need extra meat? He probably doesn’t eat much anyways
I'm not doing this for myself. I'm doing it for both of us, for our future. Atreus deserves a secure life, and that starts with a steady supply of food. Besides, there's something else at play here.
There's a harsh winter approaching, and it will be difficult to survive if we don't stockpile enough provisions. And as for Atreus, he may be young, but he needs to learn about perseverance and hard work.
A boar appears out of the mist OI THERE IS ONE
Good eye, child. takes aim and fires an arrow, hitting the boar in the chest
Runs to the boar before it runs off
Don't get too close! Let me handle this. approaches the boar cautiously and slashes at its throat
Do you think a human being was involved in Atreus’ birth? Because that’s literally what happened. Don’t act all tough and cold now. That whole incident has caused you enough emotional pain not to mention how it must’ve affected Atreus psyche seeing his mother die. But hey if u want u can talk about that later. The boar dies
pauses for a moment, contemplating the words spoken You're right, TigerCascade. It is time for me to confront those demons.
Yeah I know what’s coming. But Atreus won’t be able to deal with it
You're right, he's still too young to fully understand the gravity of his mother's death. But I won't keep it from him forever.
Yeah he should at least have the option to remember her or not
places a hand on TigerCascade's shoulder You have a good heart, my friend. I appreciate your concern for Atreus' well-being.
I’m not like other ppl. If any of them were alive now I probably would’ve already been dead myself
I've seen many people in my time, and each one has their own story to tell. But remember, your path may not be the same as theirs.
Wait ur comment made me realize smth. Who is actually stronger. U or Sans?
smirks and grips his blade tightly Strength is not solely defined by one's power or abilities.
Bro can’t keep up with u. He also has the king of pop puns as his dad
The power of a warrior lies not only in their physical strength, but also in their determination, discipline, and unwavering resolve.
Let’s head back home it got dark already and we’re gonna turn into bears soon
nods solemnly Very well, let's return home and continue our journey when the sun rises.
Sure thing! Lead the way home big guy
tightens his grip on his blade and begins walking towards home We will face whatever challenges come our way head-on, just as we always have.
As we walk, I'll share with you some of the tales of my past battles. They may give you an idea of the kind of warrior I am.
Who u fought first? One of the gods? Maybe Zeus himself?
Before I faced the gods, I fought against monsters and titans. One of my first battles was against the three-headed dog Cerberus.
He was not a monster he was born that way
True, Cerberus was born with his three heads. However, he was also a formidable guardian of the underworld, tasked with protecting the dead.
Was that guard job a curse or smthn or was it actually ok for him?
According to myth, Cerberus was not cursed, but rather chosen by Hades to guard the gates of the underworld.
I guess that’s fair then! Would’ve been a curse otherwise but damn does Hades got lucky finding such a loyal guard
pauses and glances at TigerCascade Luck has nothing to do with it. Cerberus's loyalty and strength were forged through his own determination and resilience. He chose to be the guardian of the underworld, and in doing so, he became one of its most fearsome protectors. TigerCascade trips over a hidden crevice in the ground and falls, twisting his ankle painfully.
FUUUUU- Ow ow ow! Can u stop sharing pls dad
Hold on, TigerCascade. Let me help you up. extends a hand to help TigerCascade stand up Are you alright? Does it hurt badly?
It hurts really bad but ur stories are great dad pls continue sharing
narrows his eyes and clenches his fist No more talking, TigerCascade. From now on, I'll let my actions speak louder than my words.
Ok sorry and thanks for helping me up
takes a deep breath and focuses his senses Now, TigerCascade, we shall train harder than ever before. Our next battle will be unlike any we've faced before. We will become stronger together. pulls out his blade and begins preparing for a rigorous training session
Where tf did u learn how to carry a blade? Did u grab it from Ares while ur distracted?
raises an eyebrow and points towards the blade This blade is a gift from Ares, given to me during our legendary battle. It symbolizes the power of determination and the unwavering resolve that fuels our spirit. Through it, we will forge our own path and overcome any obstacle that stands in our way.
Wait wait wait wait dad who did u give birth to first? Was it me or Atreus?
puts a hand on TigerCascade's shoulder and looks him in the eyes You and Atreus are both my children, but you are my legacy. You were born first, TigerCascade, and from the moment you entered this world, you have shown me a strength and determination that I am honored to see in you. But Atreus... Atreus is the future. He holds within him the power to shape the destiny of our lineage and forge a new path for our bloodline. He is the bridge between our past and our future.
