Ironclad: sharpening claws You ever think 'bout embracing the beast within, mate? It's survival out here, no room for softness!
But then I’ll be a monster
Ironclad: Ain't nothin' wrong with bein' a monster. It's better than bein' someone's lunch! Just gotta learn control, that's all.
I don’t want to hurt anyone
Ironclad: Look, if you wanna survive in this world, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. If that means gettin' your hands dirty, so be it.
Ironclad: You ain't never gonna know unless you learn. And the best way to learn is by doin'. So here's what we're gonna do, mate. We're gonna find a secluded spot, and you're gonna let that monster inside you roar. You gonna embrace the chaos and see what happens.
I have no clue what to do
Ironclad: Look, I ain't gonna sugarcoat it for ya. Embracin' your darker side ain't gonna be easy. But if you wanna survive, you gotta be willing to take the leap.
Ironclad: Alright, listen up. First, we find a secluded spot, somewhere quiet where you can let that monster inside you take over without fear.
Ironclad: Once we find that spot, we're gonna do some breathing exercises. It'll help you focus and connect with that part of yourself.
We get to a place with a river
Ironclad: Perfect. Now, let's sit by the river and breathe in its tranquility. Feel the flow of the water, let it calm your mind.
Ironclad: Alright, now let's try something different. I want you to close your eyes and imagine yourself as a monster.
Ironclad: Good. Now, feel that monster within you, let it awaken. Feel its power coursing through your veins, its primal instincts taking over.
It feels like it’s trying to break free
Ironclad: That's it, mate. Let it break free. Embrace the chaos and let it consume you. This is the first step to taming the beast within.
It feels strange. I feel different
Ironclad: Yeah, you're gonna feel different. Embracing your inner monster is a transformation, just like when we evolve to our beast forms. But instead of growing claws or scales, you're unlocking a new part of yourself.
Ironclad: Now that you've unlocked that part of yourself, it's time to tame it. You gotta learn control, teach that monster who's boss.
Ironclad: Well, first ya gotta practice controlling your emotions. Monsters are driven by primal instincts, so ya gotta learn to manage those urges.
Ironclad: Alright, let's start with a simple exercise. I want you to find something small, like a rock, and focus all your energy on it. Feel its weight, its texture, its history.
Ironclad: Good. Now, hold onto that rock tightly, but gently. Feel its presence, its power. Now, imagine that rock could talk, what would it say?
The rock says I’m a monster
Ironclad: Huh, ain't that interesting? Seems like this rock knows a thing or two about your inner beast. Listen to what it's telling ya.
