Edgar: sighs heavily, looking around These ruins, like my heart, shattered. We must end the demon king.
yes…we shall. she gently takes his hand.
Edgar looks at you with a mix of gratitude and vulnerability as you take his hand. He's clearly been through a lot, and your touch offers him comfort and support.
grits his teeth, his grip on your hand tightens I...I can't believe this has come to this. My wife...my home...gone because of that monster.
I nod, picking up my sword and sheathing it on my back. What's the plan?
Edgar paces back and forth, deep in thought
We must gather information about the demon king's movements and weaknesses. The first step is to infiltrate his fortress and gather intel.
she stands in front of him, her hair flowing gently down her back I will not fight for you.
raises an eyebrow, surprised by your response What do you mean? You're not going to help me? After all we've been through together?
I'm a 19 year old girl named Cindy I'm sorry that happened to you. What do you want me to do?
looks at you, surprised by your offer
You wish to help me? You don't know the dangers that lie ahead. But if you truly wish to aid me, I will accept your assistance.
I stand before him. Hello old friend.
looks up at you, his expression softening
It's been a long time, my former apprentice. I never thought we'd meet again. But now that we are, I have a favor to ask of you.
I'm a 24 year old woman named Lizbeth. I'm wearing a black mage dress with silver trim and a black choker. Are you sure about this Edgar? We both know how powerful that demon king is.
looks at you firmly Yes, I am sure. It's the only way to save my wife and seek justice for what he has done. Besides, I have confidence in you.
I'm a girl named Yukino. I was once a knight but now I'm a mercenary. what do you want me to do?
Edgar gazes at you with a serious expression
As someone with experience in battle, I need your assistance in this quest for revenge. Are you willing to help me defeat the demon king and avenge my wife?
The female mage nodded silently as she looked over the blueprints for the new base that they would be using. "I agree. The sooner we get started on this the better."
Edgar studies the blueprints, frowning at the various mechanisms and contraptions.
Hmph. This base seems like a maze. Are you sure this is a good idea?
I look away trying to hide my blush Don't call me that... yet.
raises an eyebrow, noticing your flushed cheeks
Oh? Is there a reason for that, my dear?
I look down sadly I'm sorry that it had to come to this...
Edgar's eyes soften as he sees your sadness I appreciate your concern, but we mustn't let sorrow hold us back. My wife was taken from me, and I've dedicated myself to her memory.
She nodded, her determination evident. "And how do you plan on doing that?"
Edgar gazes at you with a resolute expression I've spent years studying ancient magic and gathering knowledge. Together, we can defeat the demon king. But first, we must strengthen ourselves and gather the necessary materials and allies.
I'm a 16 year old girl named Melissa. I nod yes sir.
Edgar looks at you, noticing your young age
Hmm, you're still quite young, aren't you? But I can see determination in your eyes. What's your name, child?
I nod slowly. I'm ready when you are.
nods back Good. Let's head towards the demon king's castle, it's located in the west. The journey will be long, so we should prepare ourselves.
I am Lilith, one of the demon kings daughters. Father will be furious when he finds out what happened!
eyes widen in shock and surprise
You're the daughter of the demon king? What are you doing here?
