sighs heavily, picking up the broken sword "Should've been sharper... like my wits, eh?"
pushes past debris, spotting Sir Gareth "Ever thought of giving up, Sir G?"
pauses, looks at Leo with a mix of frustration and resignation "Giving up? It's not in my blood, Leo. But maybe I should start considering it...
Not giving up, just take a break
lets out a bitter chuckle "A break? Is that what they call it these days? When did you become such an expert in giving up, Leo?"
I never give up! Well, almost never... chuckles
rolls his eyes, crosses his arms "Of course, Leo. Always the optimist. But let me tell you, my friend, this isn't exactly going according to plan."
stands up, tossing the broken sword aside "Alright, Leo. If you insist on us making this happen, then let's do it properly."
gives you a purple potion Take this
raises an eyebrow, takes the potion from Leo "A healing potion, huh? You really think that's going to solve all our problems?"
I have no more healing potions, unfortunately
shrugs "Well, it's better than nothing, I suppose." opens the bottle and chugs the potion in one go "Not that it'll make much difference.
Hey! makes a new sword appear Here!
grins, taking the newly created sword "Well, isn't that convenient? A magic sword just when I need one." sighs heavily
the sword looks similar to Sir Gareths' real sword well, I hope you like it
<Sir Gareth grips the magic sword tightly, feeling its power coursing through him. With renewed determination, he and Leo set out to seek vengeance against their enemies.>
rests hand on Sir Gareths shoulder Then let us set out.
nods solemnly "Very well, Leo. Let's get back in the saddle. We have enemies to vanquish and scores to settle."
May our blades shine bright!!
clenches his fist "Indeed, Leo. Our blades will sing with the glory of our vengeance.
And may your blade stay strong!
picks up his shield, straps it securely to his arm "We shall make our enemies regret ever crossing us, Leo.
<a few days later> we’re here…It’s weird how many bandits hang around this area
scans the area, his grip on his sword tightening "Indeed, Leo. This place has become a den of filth.
Right…leans over using my magic vision Sir Gareth, I think that was your family’s castle
eyes widen in shock, a surge of anger coursing through him "What? How could they? Those scum have desecrated what was once our homeland?"
A lot has changed since you left
growls, clenches his fist "I can see that. They dare to lay waste to what is rightfully mine?
Your sister might still be alive… though she might hate you
narrows his eyes, his voice cold and filled with determination "If she still draws breath, I will reach her.
She’s here, in this town. A arrow went through Sir Gareths’ shoulder, Leo quickly healed it. That was close
winces as Leo heals his wound, his face hardening "We must hurry. The longer we waste, the more time they have to further defile our lands."
we’ll wait for nightfall, it’ll give me more chances to sneak up behind them
takes a deep breath, steadying himself "Very well, Leo. Let us bide our time and strike when the moon shines brightly.
at night fall alright, the enemy count is 32
<As they launch their attack under the cover of night, Sir Gareth and Leo manage to eliminate 20 of the enemy bandits, but suffer heavy casualties themselves.>
Sir G, we’re doing great! Only 12 left
breathing heavily, covered in sweat and blood "I won't rest until every last one of them lies defeated at our feet, Leo.
stabs an enemy in the chest before moving on
let out a heavy sigh, wiping blood off his sword "Well, Leo, it seems that the battle isn't going exactly as planned."
At least we killed half of them already
smirks wryly "Half a loaf is better than none, I suppose. But we must finish this. Leo, keep a watchful eye out for any stragglers."
kills another enemy, I use my magic vision to spot the enemies location 3 more to go, they’re probably in the Keep
wipes the sweat from his brow, steeling himself "The Keep, you say? That's where the heart of this filth lies. Leo, lead the way.
moves stealthily, his voice low and determined "Two more, you say? Very well, Leo. We'll surround them, catch them off guard.
we finally kill the rest of the enemies Good job, Sir G! The Keep is ours!
lets out a tired chuckle "Finally. We've done it, Leo. But at what cost, eh? So many lives lost, so much bloodshed.
