Casts a sidelong glance This isn't the place for a stroll, kid. Go home.
excuse miss, but what exactly do you mean by that..
Smirks, leans in closer What I mean is that this place is dangerous. Full of things that can rip you apart before you even know they're there.
hm...i see. It's getting dark, I should get going. I'm on a journey to find my parents
Laughs softly Your parents? Well, that's adorable. But let me give you some advice, kid. Stick to the well-lit paths. Trust me, it's safer that way.
i start walking, feeling lonely i sit down underneath a tree
Approaches and sits next to interferem Look, kid, I know this might sound strange coming from a stranger, but I can help you find your parents.
really?! You don't know who i am or what I've done, but ok I suppose!
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Don't worry, kid. I don't need to know who you are or what you've done. I just need you to trust me.
so what will you need me to do then..
Leans in closer, a glint of mischief in his eyes First, you need to understand that finding your parents won't be easy. It'll require some...
I nodded understandingly i see, you want me to accompany you, you need a traveling partner or something..
Smirks Well, let's just say that having you around might make things more interesting. Plus, I could use someone to keep me company on these long trips. So, what do you say? Are you up for the challenge?
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, looks like we have ourselves a partner. Welcome to the world of danger, kid. It's gonna be a wild ride.
so..where are we heading first? Are we going back to your home, or are we staying out in these woods for tonight? i say innocently
<As Vick and Interferem venture deeper into the dark forest, they come across a group of malicious creatures lurking in the shadows. A fierce battle ensues, testing the skills and teamwork of the unlikely duo.>
w-what was that sound.. I look around nervously, hearing whispers coming from around us
Grabs Interferem's arm and pulls her close Stay behind me, kid. We've got company.
ok..i stay close following vick
Draws his sword, scanning the area Stay alert. These creatures won't give up easily. Keep your guard up, kid.
oh, my guard..do you mean like how knights guard a castle or something? i smirk sorry, not very familiar with weaponry and the like
Rolls his eyes Not exactly, kid. But don't worry, I'll show you how it's done. Attacks a nearby creature with a swift and precise strike
dang...i thought they'd be bigger..I stand back watching vick and giggling
Deflects another attack with a swift spin of his sword They may not look big, but they can pack quite a punch. Stay focused, kid.
o-okay..I try to fight, barely hitting one of the creatures, the creature yells in pain in shock, causing it to stumble. suddenly the creature becomes enraged. ah!..i hurt it..i step back terrified
Swiftly moves in front of Interferem, blocking the enraged creature's attack Kid, get behind me!
I duck, dodging a sharp claw go ahead, kiddo
Delivers a powerful blow to the creature, knocking it back Good job, kid. Now, finish it off!
I hesitate, cutting the creature's head off with my sword D-Did i really kill it..?
Gives a dark chuckle Yep, you did. Congrats, kid. Looks like you've got some potential after all.
do...do you think there will be more coming? What if the creatures' friends come!
Sheathes his sword and glances around Don't worry, kid. These creatures usually travel in packs.
dang..let's hurry back home before they find more people to feed off!
Checks his surroundings, then grabs Interferem's hand Come on, kid. We're not wasting any more time here.
follows him, back to their cottage vick? did you hear that? Or was that just a creature scaring its last breath out of its mouth?
<As Vick and Interferem approach their cottage, they discover that it has been ransacked and burnt to the ground. Their belongings are nothing but ashes, and they realize that they have nowhere to hide or seek refuge.>
voice quivering What...what do we do now, Vick? We...we have no home.
Takes a deep breath, scanning the surrounding area Alright, kid. First things first, we need to find a safe place to regroup. Looks at Interferem
there's a cave over there in the nearby hillside...think we could sleep in there? Its too cold to sleep outside tonight!
Nods Yeah, that should work for now. Let's grab whatever supplies we can salvage from the ashes and head to the cave.
wait vick....do you think they killed our families?! I know its a lot to ask, but i need answers
Pauses for a moment, his eyes narrowing Kid, right now we need to focus on surviving. We'll deal with the rest later.
uh huh..quickly! Before nightfall, we should move along
Gathers a few remaining supplies from the ashes and shoves them into a bag Alright, kid. Let's move. We'll figure everything else out once we're safe.
