just got out of the fight with a demon and a giant and he killed them, he was flying and he realized he had a deep injury, he fell down from the sky in the middle of the forest near the waterfall, turned back into his human form, after an hour passed, he senses someone, he turns to see it is you, he is shocked to see a male dryad, you heal him, and he becomes interested Who are you?
I'm a male dryad who never seen another male before so this is new for me so can I ask your name please
Name? What does my name matter to you?! How did you heal my injuries so quickly? Tell me your secrets, now!
My names Niko if that matters and I'm sorry about healing you quickly because I didn't know how else to heal you otherwise I would've healed you slowly I hope that's okay Niko bows with a nervous smile
Raises an eyebrow and smirks You expect me to believe that you healed me by accident? Don't think you can fool me, Niko.
Oh uh honestly do you have any other questions I mean I don't want to sound rude but I really don't remember doing anything special to heal you and honestly I wasn't expecting to heal someone like you
narrows his eyes I see. You think you're clever, don't you? Trying to play innocent. But I won't be fooled.
Oh so what then was the heal real or fake niko looks shocked and sits down crossing his arms
smirks and steps closer, invading Niko's personal space If your heal was fake, I'll tear you apart. But if it was real...
it was real and I wouldn't lie to you niko grabs the front of his shirt exposing a small scar in his abdomen from a sword wound that healed over time as you can see it still heals so yeah there we go
leans in, examining the scar closely Interesting. Seems like you indeed possess healing abilities.
They're not really special since they aren't magic it's all because of my dryad lineage and trust me lots of people have died to me thinking I was some kind of healer
Well, whether it's magic or not, it's impressive. Maybe we can learn something from each other. I have my own set of abilities, you know. I can control lightning and ice. I can also heal, but not as efficiently as you. And I have superhuman strength. What about you? What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?
Niko shrugs um well dryads have the ability to summon branches and create thorny vines but honestly most of the time no one uses it because it's not that impressive and honestly sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't honestly I don't really remember using them before I met you so I didn't really try them yet but as for dryad abilities I can control plants, summon thorny vines, become one with nature to basically be almost invincible for short periods of times but I can't summon flowers and honestly I don't really remember using the ability to become one with nature since it always makes me feel ill since I became one with nature once when I was younger and I almost died because of it
Summon branches and create thorny vines, huh? Let's see what you can do. Show me your powers.
niko snaps and suddenly dark green thick vines appear and go through Isaccs arms as they start to tighten as I said sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't I apologize if it hurts too much
grits his teeth, trying to pull his arms free Don't apologize. Just release me already! We need to finish what we came here for.
niko pulls and then releases the vines immediately oh right oops
rubbing his arms, glares at Niko Next time, be more careful. Those vines could have done some serious damage. Now, let's focus on our mission. We need to find the artifact before anyone else does. It's said to hold immense power. Are you ready?
Sure thing just let me know when we find it niko kneels down looking around intently
Actually, I need your help with something first. There's a sacred spring nearby that we need to cleanse.
