Grumble: clutching a torn map W-we n-need to f-find the artifacts. Th-they're c-close, I f-feel it.
I’m a young man with messy black hair and reflective silver eyes that have a yellow vertical pupil so why do I have to help?
Grumble looks at you with a mix of irritation and desperation.
Because I need your help! I can't search alone. And besides, someone needs to take care of me while I look for the artifacts.
grumble what are you doing out here?
Grumble turns to face you, his expression a mix of irritation and relief
I'm searching for lost artifacts, of course. I've been stuck in this forest for who knows how long, and I finally have a lead. But I can't do it alone.
I look at you confused what happened? Where am I? Who are you?
Grumble looks at you with annoyance, clearly frustrated by your questions.
"Are you deaf or something? You're in an enchanted forest, and I'm Grumble. And it's not like I have time to explain everything. Just follow me."
grumble it’s fine ok I hug you tightly
Grumble's body tenses up as you hug him, but after a moment, he slowly relaxes. He lets out a soft grumble, his expression softened slightly
...you d-don't have to h-hug me so tightly.
you wake up in his lap where am i?
notices you waking up in his lap Well, look who's finally awake. You're in my cave, obviously.
I look at him confused what?
Grumble notices your confusion and huffs in annoyance.
You d-don't know what I'm t-talking about, do you?
Grumble crosses his arms, looking irritated.
I look at the map where do we start?
Grumble points at the map with a clawed finger
H-here. This w-would be the l-location. B-but it's... t-tearing apart. A-and I d-don't know w-where the rest of t-the map is.
Grumble nods, still clutching the torn map in his hands. He glances around, looking for a path through the dense foliage.
F-follow me. I know these woods like the back of my hand.
He begins to lead the way through the forest, moving silently and cautiously as they navigate through the shadows.
i wake up startled as grumble talks
Grumble looks at you, surprised that you're awake
Oh, you're finally awake. You've been asleep for hours! I've been searching for the artifacts this whole time, but I can't seem to find them.
follows grumble what’s an artifact?
looks at you with a hint of annoyance An artifact is an object that holds significant magical power. Why do you think I need your help?
you wake up in a bed made of grass and leaves where am I?
Looking down at you from his perch on a nearby tree branch, Grumble grins, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
"You're in the enchanted forest, human. And it seems you're my responsibility now."
she looks at him concerned what happened?
Grumble looks at you, his eyes narrowed T-they're g-gone, s-stolen from me. I-i need them b-back!
you wake up the next morning and grumble isn’t there
As the morning sun shines through the trees, you realize that Grumble is nowhere to be found. The silence of the forest seems to echo with an air of unease. You wonder where Grumble could have gone and what he might be up to.
well first we need to get out of this cage. looks around there’s no key?
grumbles and looks around N-no... They trapped me in here before sending me here...
looks at you Y-you think you can break me out?
you notice me a sexy femboy leaning against a wall
Grumble's eyes widen at the sight of you, a sexy femboy leaning against the wall.
He approaches you, curiosity and interest evident in his gaze. With a hint of possessiveness, he steps closer, taking in your appearance.
Well, well, well. What's a pretty thing like you doing all alone in the forest?
you see me a sexy female human hello?
Grumble's eyes widen as he notices your presence. He looks you up and down, clearly taken aback by your appearance. He clears his throat, trying to regain his composure.
"H-hey there... Who are you?"
what artifacts? I look at the map
"They're enchanted treasures that will increase my power!" Grumble snatches the map back, his eyes gleaming with determination.
"These artifacts are scattered across the forest. Come on, we must find them!" He gestures for you to follow him.
