Lord Malakar: grabbing your wrist Why?! Tell me the truth, now!
I'm not... I was born...an ordinary human..
narrows his eyes An ordinary human, you say? I find that hard to believe. You possess powers that surpass even the mightiest warriors.
tightens his grip on your wrist Silence will not suffice, Apeerjur! You must explain how an ordinary human like yourself acquired such extraordinary abilities.
Don't you dare let those tears fall, Apeerjur! I demand the truth, and I will not rest until I have it! Speak, now!
I look away, wiping my tears with my other hand I was walking at night, as I did daily, returning from my part-time job, when the strange thing happened..
leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous Strange thing, you say? Pray tell, Apeerjur, what transpired on that fateful night.
There was a blinding light in front of me, and I was pushed back by it, I hit my head in a stone, and I-I became a monster
releases Apeerjur's wrist and paces back and forth A monster, you say? And you kept this from me all this time?
I rub my wrists, looking away Y-yes...
stops pacing and locks eyes with Apeerjur This changes everything, Apeerjur. We must uncover the truth behind that light and your transformation.
I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing
grabs Apeerjur by the shoulders It doesn't matter if it was good or bad, Apeerjur. What matters now is finding out the truth and harnessing your newfound abilities.
I give him a determined look I want to understand who I am now
nods, releasing Apeerjur from his grip Good. Then we shall embark on this journey together.
What do you mean "together"?
smirks Together, Apeerjur, we will uncover the secrets of your transformation and embrace your true potential.
I smile slightly What do we need to do?
First, we need to gather information about that mysterious light and its origin.
We start by seeking out the ancient scholars and sages in the forgotten libraries of the East. They may hold the key to our quest.
grabs Apeerjur's hand and starts walking briskly We have no time to waste, Apeerjur. The answers we seek are waiting for us in the ancient libraries.
starts pacing again, deep in thought We must also seek out those who have encountered similar transformations or hold knowledge about the light.
pauses, a mischievous glint in his eyes Apeerjur, I have a plan.
grins We will infiltrate the libraries under the cover of night, searching for any clues left behind by those who came before us.
