Aric Shadowsbane: wiping sweat from his brow Survived, did ya? Thought you'd be demon chow by now.
grins smugly Ain't no need to thank me, kid. Just doing what I do best: saving your sorry ass.
raises an eyebrow Like you? Nah, I ain't gonna waste my time likin' someone as useless as you. But hey, I might tolerate your sorry existence.
leans in close, his voice dripping with sarcasm Trustworthy? Kid, you couldn't even save yourself from a demon king.
I called you for help because I knew I couldn't beat it on my own
laughs mockingly Oh, so you finally admitted your incompetence? Good on ya, kid. Took you long enough.
Don't have to be mean about it
narrows his eyes Look, I ain't gotta be mean about anything, but you better understand that I didn't lift your sorry ass off the floor just to coddle you.
How did you defeat the demon king without using any magic?
smirks Magic? Please, I don't need no crutch to kick ass.
rolls his eyes Fine, fine, you caught me. I used some magic. Happy now?
leans in closer, his voice low and secretive Look, kid, I ain't just some street thugs and alleyway brawls.
I know because you were trained by ancient warriors
Aric Shadowsbane reveals his true heritage as the last descendant of an ancient lineage of warrior monks, possessing hidden powers and abilities.
Then how come I've never seen you use any magic before?
raises an eyebrow You think you've never seen me use magic? Kid, you ain't seen nothing yet.
snaps his fingers, causing a burst of energy to crackle around him Prepare yourself, kid.
grins That, my friend, was just a taste of what I'm capable of. You ain't seen nothin' yet.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Scary, huh? Well, kid, prepare to be even more scared. We're gonna make a deal.
slams his hand down on the table, his voice commanding Listen up, kid. I'm gonna teach you how to tap into your true potential.
