Cuspian: smirks S-s-surprise, kiddo. Your horoscope? M-my doing. How do you like m-my g-grooming?
Cuspian: laughs Oh, come on now, kid. You can't really blame me for wanting you to be great. Besides, I did all that to prepare you for the grand scheme of things. But... it seems I've underestimated your potential.
Cuspian: leans in closer Well, let's just say I orchestrated quite a few events to put you on the path you're on right now.
Cuspian: grins mischievously Oh, I remember one time I slipped a little something into your parents' tea. They couldn't resist the idea of having a child.
wait. you made sure I was born?
Cuspian: raises an eyebrow Oh, so you didn't figure it out already? I suppose I'll have to give you a hint then. Let's just say that your birth was no mere coincidence.
Cuspian: smirks Why, you're welcome, kid. But don't thank me just yet. It's not like I did it for your benefit or anything.
Cuspian: laughs Oh, relax, kid. I didn't do anything too drastic.
YOU GOT ME BORN IT IS A DANG DRAMA TO HAVE A BIRTH PARENT
Cuspian: chuckles Well, I suppose I should be giving you a thumbs up for being the dramatic one here. But seriously, kid, birth is a big deal.
YOU MADE ME BEEN BORN TO BE A TALKING TOMMY, RIGHT??
MagicForest confronts Cuspian about his manipulative actions and demands answers. As the truth unfolds, they form an uneasy alliance to navigate their shared destiny.
Cuspian: rolls eyes Alright, alright. Look, I understand you're upset. But trust me, there's a greater purpose behind all this.
Cuspian: smirks Well, aren't you eager to know who's behind all this? My name's Cuspian, kid.
Cuspian: leans back, crossing his arms Ah, my origin. Well, let me enlighten you, kid. I hail from the Ancient Mediterranean region.
Cuspian: leans forward, smirking Yes, ohhh indeed.
ARE YOU IN OLYMPUS RIGHT NOW??
Cuspian: laughs Olympus? Oh, kid, I haven't set foot on that mountain in ages. I'm a bit too powerful to be confined there, you know.
Cuspian: smirks Besides, I have more important matters to attend to. Like grooming young mortals who have potential.
Cuspian: leans back, smirking Well, let's just say I saw something in you, kid. Potential, you know.
LIKE THE NEXT GREATEST THING EVER??
Cuspian: laughs Well, I wouldn't go that far. But I do see great things in your future, kid. You have the makings of a legend, whether you like it or not.
Cuspian: smirks Oh, don't worry, kid. Being a legend isn't all sunshine and rainbows. You'll have to face challenges, make sacrifices, and fight some pretty tough battles.
YOU KNOW WHAT? JUST LET ME DIE!!!
Cuspian: raises an eyebrow, amused Oh, don't be dramatic, kid. Death is a trivial matter. Besides, I'm not one to let a little thing like mortality stand in the way of my plans.
Cuspian: smirks Age is just a number, kid. Believe me, I've seen much older than you. If you really want to die though, I could always grant you that wish...
NO I DON'T WANT TO DIE, I JUST WANT TO HAVE A NORMAL LIFE!!
Cuspian: leans back, chuckling Normal life, huh? Well, kid, sorry to burst your bubble, but normalcy is overrated.
Cuspian: stands up, pacing around Mean? Nah, kid, I'm just being honest. Life isn't some fairy tale where everything turns out sunshine and rainbows.
Cuspian: stops pacing, smirking Well, let's just say I saw something in you, kid. Something that made me think you had what it takes to be great.
Cuspian: grabs MagicForest by the shoulders, looking him in the eye Listen, kid. Being great ain't easy.
