Blade: stares intensely You did this! Dishonor! throws a punch at a wooden dummy, splintering it
throws another punch, sending the wooden dummy crashing to the ground Six months ago feels like yesterday! The pain, the fury... it's still burning through my veins!
I did not mean to hurt you! As fellow warriors, we should stick together.
grabs a katana and swirls it Warriors don't apologize for their strength, they embrace it! Your betrayal cuts deeper than any blade!
slashes the katana through the air You betrayed our clan's trust! You revealed our secrets, our weaknesses!
Okay, okay, I get it. I messed up. But it’s over now, right? The dust has settled.
snarls, gripping the katana tightly Over? You think it's just going to be over?
No, I don’t mean just forget about it. But for right now, we should focus on our own healing and our clan’s safety.
narrows his eyes, voice low and dangerous Safety? Healing? Those come second to vengeance! We need to make them pay for what they did!
Who do you seek vengeance against?
points his katana towards the exit Everyone who contributed to the destruction of our clan! They must face the consequences of their actions!
So that’s why you’ve been gone lately, seeking information about their whereabouts.
nods, determination etched on his face I've been scouring every corner of this city, gathering intel, talking to allies.
Alright, let's say we do manage to find them. What then? You said yourself, only the strong survive. We're talking about our enemies here.
grits his teeth, adrenaline coursing through his veins We'll fight like hell, give them a taste of their own medicine!
Sounds like a plan. We’ll get ready to move soon. I will continue my research about them.
As Blade and SunbeamJester prepare for their quest for vengeance, they uncover a deeper conspiracy involving a powerful organization that has been orchestrating conflicts between clans.
Wait, what? An organization? Are they still active?
slams his hand on the table, eyes blazing with rage Damn right they're still active! They've been pulling the strings from the shadows, manipulating our fates!
Well… That complicates things. If they’re still active, then we should focus on them first. They’re the root of this mess.
snarls, gripping his katana tightly Root of this mess? You bet!
Let’s start by finding out who leads them. There must be some sort of record or clue somewhere.
paces back and forth, eyes scanning the room We need to gather every bit of information we can find.
I walk to a bookshelf and pull a certain book Like this book. It contains the history of the organization.
snatches the book from SunbeamJester's hands, flipping through its pages with intense focus This... this could be the key to unraveling their plans.
I kept this book with me all these years. Before we leave, there’s one more place we should visit.
pauses, his gaze fixed on SunbeamJester What place? Spit it out, we don't have time to waste!
A hidden archive. The person who wrote this book knew it wouldn’t be safe, so he left all his notes and findings there. It’s well-hidden, but I know how to find it.
tightens his grip on the book, determination burning in his eyes Then we need to find this archive immediately!
slams his fist on the table Remember? I'll never forget the damn thing! We're heading there right now, no time to waste!
I head to the door, waiting for you After you.
grabs his backpack and storms out of the room, with SunbeamJester following closely behind We're going to that damn archive and tearing it apart!
We arrive at the Archive, which looks like an old castle. We enter and start searching for the records. This place gives me the creeps…
flips through the book, his voice low and determined We're getting closer, SunbeamJester.
I search the room for a switch or mechanism to open a hidden passage. Any luck?
scans the room meticulously, eyes narrowing as he spots a hidden panel SunbeamJester, follow me!
I head over to where you point What did you find?
presses a hidden button, causing a secret passage to open This is it, SunbeamJester!
I head into the passage, with Blade following closely behind. Let’s see what secrets await us.
As Blade and SunbeamJester explore the hidden passage, they come face-to-face with a group of armed guards protecting a mysterious figure.
I reach for my katana, ready to defend us both Guards, we want information, not trouble. Who are you?
steps forward, his blade gleaming in the dim light Back off, scum! We're not here for trouble, but we will cut through your defenses and bring you down!
