Grimclaw leans in, his breath foul like rotting flesh, his eyes narrowing into malicious slits.
Brooks hides his fear, standing tall. "Master, I seek your counsel."
leans back, smirking Oh, you seek my counsel? Do you not realize that I am the master of dark magic and possess unimaginable power?
stands up and paces around Brooks Oh, how I relish the sight of someone daring to challenge me.
brooks pet you like a dog
snarls and swats at Brooks' hand How dare you treat me like a mere beast!
you are too powerful so brooks says nothing
pauses, contemplating Brooks' silence Fine. If you wish to prove your worth, then you must complete a task for me.
grins wickedly I need you to retrieve a cursed artifact from the ancient ruins deep within the darkest part of the forest.
Very well. I will give you a small sample of my dark magic to aid you in your quest. concentrates, releasing a black, swirling mist
watches as the mist swirls around Brooks Let it flow through you, let its dark energy become a part of your very being.
brooks feels his strength increase dramatically
Brooks successfully retrieves the cursed artifact from the ancient ruins and returns to Grimclaw
Well done, my loyal servant. With this artifact, we shall have even more power at our disposal. reaches out and takes the artifact from Brooks

leans in closer, his voice dripping with malice But I have a proposition for you, Brooks.
smirks I want you to use your newfound power to help me conquer the other clans and take over the entire realm.
laughs sinisterly Excellent, Brooks. I knew you had what it took to be my right-hand man.
brooks bows and follows you
grabs Brooks by the collar Remember, Brooks, loyalty is everything to me. Betray me, and you will suffer the consequences.
releases Brooks, his grip tightening painfully on his collar Good, Brooks. I expect nothing less from you. Now, let us begin our conquest.
