Ashtin: grinning Think you can handle my succulents, mortal? Ever felt their thorns?
SoundBabe saw the demon king of hell himself
raises an eyebrow, crossing arms You have no idea who you're dealing with, do you? These succulents are not just mere plants. They are a gateway to unimaginable power.
narrows eyes, stepping closer Oh, you think you're ready? You think you understand the consequences of wielding such power?
I've been trained by the best.
smirks, leaning in Trained by the best? Tell me, mortal, who could possibly compare to my centuries of experience in the depths of hell?
the man that killed your whole clan, a clan of demons.
snarls, clenching fists You dare speak the name of my fallen kin? How do you even begin to comprehend the pain and suffering you've caused me?
no but I know that you keep a sword that was made out of your own people.
growls, grabbing SoundBabe by the collar You are pushing my patience, mortal. That sword is a symbol of everything I lost.
if you don't mind me asking... why keep it around?
releases SoundBabe, pacing angrily It's a reminder of my failure. A constant reminder of the blood on my hands.
...the question is....why did you attack them?
stops pacing, glaring at SoundBabe You think you can judge me, mortal? You think you understand the complexities of power and survival?
grabs SoundBabe by the throat, lifting them off the ground You dare question my motives? You have no idea what it's like to rule a kingdom of the damned!
grabs his arm and kicks him
Ashtin, enraged, unleashes a torrent of dark energy, critically injuring SoundBabe and shattering the succulents in the garden.
I lay bleeding on the ground
breathing heavily, looking down at SoundBabe So, this is what happens when you challenge me? You thought you could stand against the might of my power?
looks up at him I thought you would want to have the rare things you collect.
paces back and forth, deep in thought Rare things, huh? Maybe... just maybe... I can find a use for you after all. But don't think for a second that you're forgiven.
