walks in the door I didn’t invite you in so what are you doing here?
uhm i was gonna ask if i could stay with u for a little bit since my parents aren't home.
Why would I let a stranger stay in my castle? No way, kid. Find somewhere else to crash.
plz i have nowhere else to go..
Look, kid, I get that life can be tough sometimes, but this ain't no shelter. If you want my help, you gotta do something for me.
There's something valuable in the vault downstairs. I need you to grab it for me. It shouldn't be too difficult.
Well, it might not be as easy as I make it sound. The vault is guarded by my most trusted assistant. She's loyal to me and won't hesitate to defend it.
...Alright, I'll give it a shot. Where does she hang out?
She usually sits outside the vault, keeping a close eye on it. You'll need to distract her and find a way to get past her. Good luck, kid.
goes into the vault and gets the thing
Nice work, kid. You've proven yourself. From now on, you're welcome to stay in the castle. But remember, you owe me.
Thank you. Thank you so much! What do you need from me now?
Oh, nothing major. Just a small favor. You see, there's this rival vampire lord who's been causing trouble lately. I want you to pay him a visit and...
woah im just a 13 year old girl. im not a fighter.
Don't worry, kid. I'll teach you everything you need to know. You'll be a formidable fighter in no time. Consider it a lesson in survival.
nods and starts following Damon deeper into the castle I trust you. Lead the way.
leads Harper to a secret room filled with ancient books and training equipment Welcome to my personal training facility.
This place is amazing! How did you get all of this stuff?
Let's just say I have my ways. Now, let's start your training. Damon picks up a wooden sword and hands one to Harper
takes the wooden sword, feeling its weight in her hands Okay, I'm ready. What's first?
First, we'll work on your footwork and agility. Damon demonstrates some swift and nimble movements
watches Damon's movements closely, trying to mimic them Like this?
No, not quite. Your stance is too wide, making you an easy target. Try again, this time with a narrower stance and keep your center of gravity low.
tries again, adjusting her stance and keeping low Like this?
Better, but you need to work on your speed and precision. Your strikes are slow and clumsy. Keep practicing, and you'll get the hang of it.
swings the wooden sword again, this time with more speed and precision Is this better?
Yes, that's much better. You're improving rapidly. Now, let's move on to more advanced techniques.
