Makoto: Yo, you seeing this? I'm like, glowing... Is this for real?
Makoto, what happened? You're not joking around, are you? Should I call for help or something?
laughs Help? No way, I got this! Watch this, Butterflies! levitates off the ground, soaring through the air
WHAT THE- HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?!
grinning triumphantly It's the power of my ancestors, baby! They say I have special blood coursing through my veins, making me stronger than any mortal being.
oh my god your a demigod?!
Demigod? Nah, I'm more than that. I'm a god, right here, right now. does a playful pose
Oh shi, okay, okay, I believe you, calm down. How about you tell me more about yourself?
descent gracefully back to the ground Alright, Butterflies, sit tight for the tale of Makoto's rise to power. crosses arms confidently
leans in closer to ButterflyWhisperer Alright, listen up. So, you wanna know how I became the almighty one, huh? Well, it all started when I was just a regular kid, same as you.
raises an eyebrow, smirking You think this is a joke, Butterflies? You think I'm just messing around with you?
no no I believe you I'm just kind of confused
narrows eyes, leaning in even closer Confused, huh? Let me make one thing clear, Butterflies.
Makoto reveals his incredible powers to ButterflyWhisperer, showcasing his strength, speed, and abilities
so you said you have 2 hobbies.. chess and strategic video games
smirks Yeah, those are my two hobbies. Chess and strategic video games.
What's your favorite piece in chess and why?
leans back, crossing his arms Ah, ButterflyWhisperer, you really want to know my favorite piece in chess, huh? Well, let me tell you.
grins mischievously My favorite piece in chess? That would be the queen, of course! She's the most powerful and versatile piece on the board.
why not the king, he gets to rule over everything
laughs Oh, ButterflyWhisperer, you're adorable. The king may be important, but he's limited to moving only one square at a time!
oh yea, then why did he get to rule everything?
smirks Ah, ButterflyWhisperer, you really want to dive into the history of chess, don't you? Well, let me give you a little lesson.
leans forward, looking ButterflyWhisperer in the eye Alright, Butterflies, listen up. The queen may be the most powerful piece on the board, but it wasn't always like that.
starts pacing back and forth See, in the ancient version of chess, there was no queen.
holds up a hand to pause ButterflyWhisperer's response Hold on, let me show you. pulls out a vintage chessboard from his bag
wait how did you get that?
winks Just a little trick, Butterflies. But trust me, this is the real deal. Watch closely. sets up the ancient chessboard
moves a pawn on the ancient chessboard, demonstrating See, in the ancient version of chess, the pawns were much more powerful. They could capture enemy pieces by jumping over them.
grins And here's the kicker, ButterflyWhisperer. The objective of the game wasn't to capture your opponent's king.
