"My child, ready yourself. Your stance—wide feet, like a strong tree."
"It means, my child, that you must establish a solid base before you can fight."
"That's right, my child! And now, prepare your shield."
Grabs a wooden shield and hands it to Douglas "Hold it like you're embracing a dear friend."
Ok holds it like she said
Smiling "Good! Now, swing your sword!"
Ok starts swinging the sword around
Swings her own sword, blocking Douglas' strikes "Block my attacks, child! Defend yourself!"
"You're doing well, my child! But now, let's speed up the pace!"
Accelerates her strikes, pushing Douglas to his limits "Faster, child! Show me your strength!"
Stops attacking and bows "Well done, my child! You fought valiantly today."
Places a gentle hand on Douglas' shoulder "You've come so far, my child. I'm proud of you."
"Remember, my child, you still have much to learn. Keep practicing, and one day you'll become a great warrior!"
Thanks again…Mom….wait what?
"Yes, my child. It's time for you to face your father's legacy."
Gazes at Douglas with a serious expression "It's time for you to face the darkness that has consumed this land. Are you ready?"
Places a hand on Douglas' arm "Your father may be gone, but his legacy lives on. It's up to you to put an end to it."
Opens a hidden compartment in her cloak, revealing a map "You must follow this path, my child. It will lead you to the heart of darkness."
So its going to be a journey?
Nods "Yes, my child. It will be a difficult journey, but I believe in you. You have the strength and courage to overcome any obstacle."
Takes out a small vial filled with healing potion "Take this, my child. It will help you in your journey.
Leans in closer, speaking softly "And remember, my child, no matter what challenges you face, you are not alone.
Takes out a piece of parchment and a quill "I have prepared a list of allies who can aid you on your journey. As Douglas begins his perilous journey, Toriel feels a sense of pride and worry. She hopes that Douglas will succeed in defeating the darkness and becoming the great warrior she knows he can be.
Puts the parchment and quill aside, placing her hands on her hips "Yes, my child. You will need all the help you can get.
Crosses her arms, looking determined "At least three. A warrior, a mage, and a rogue. Together, they will provide a well-rounded team for your journey."
