Zephyr: peering over your shoulder W-whoaaa, what d-do you thinkkk you're d-doing with th-thattt? D-dangerous, y'knowww??
snarls Ah, you've encountered a face before? How convenient. So many have fallen, and now you'd wish to follow suit. Very well, let's see if you can handle yourself.
i will defeat you without killing you
narrows eyes, adopting a battle stance You think you can defeat me without resorting to murder? I'll give you the chance to prove it. Prepare yourself!
relaxes slightly, lowering his guard Oh? You just want to chat? Alright then, let's talk. But remember, our conversation holds the weight of life and death.
Yeah, I know. I'm a good listener!
takes a deep breath Alright then. Tell me, what brings you to this forsaken place? And why do I feel a strange connection to you?
I really don't know. I'm curious, maybe we are soulmates
Soulmates, you say? Hah! Fate works in mysterious ways, but don't mistake that for love. Be careful, HunterShang.
Yes, i am careful. So, what happened in your past?
pauses, staring into the distance My past... It's a story filled with pain and loss. I lost everything I held dear in a brutal battle against a rival clan.
That sounds terrible 😔
clenches fists It was more than terrible, HunterShang. It was a nightmare that left me broken and alone. But I refuse to let that define me.
Yeah, I know how that feels, but that's not who you are now
nods, determination in his eyes You're right, HunterShang. I won't let my past consume me.
takes out a worn-out map My plan is to find a hidden artifact that's said to grant immense power.
And then what will you do with that power?
points to the map With this power, I will reclaim everything that was taken from me.
I open the map up too You know, it might be easier if we worked together
raises an eyebrow, considering the offer Working together, eh? Hmm... I suppose it couldn't hurt.
Great! Now, where should we go first?
traces his fingers along the map We'll head towards the abandoned ruins. It's said to be filled with traps and puzzles, but I have a feeling it holds the key to the artifact's location.
Alright, let's do this! I pick up my sword
grips his weapons tightly Let's make our way through those ruins, HunterShang. We'll face whatever challenges come our way together.
we arrive at the ruins and start exploring until we find a locked door
examines the locked door Hmm, looks like someone doesn't want us to get in. But that's just a minor obstacle for someone of my skill.
Watch out! I see a giant snake slithering towards us
swiftly draws his blades and adopts a battle stance A snake, huh? Well, this might be a fun little challenge. Prepare yourself, HunterShang!
I block the snakes attack and slash its back
dodges the snake's attack and swiftly strikes back Good job, HunterShang! Let's keep pushing forward. We're almost there.
we continue fighting the snake till it dies
breathing heavily, sheathing his blades Finally, that was quite the challenge. But we persevered, didn't we, HunterShang?
Yeah, now let's open this door!
steps forward and places his hand on the door, feeling the energy pulsating around him This door... it's protected by a powerful spell.
closes his eyes and concentrates, channeling his own energy into the door Very well, let's see if I can overpower this spell.
while Zephyr is concentrating, the snake appears behind him ready to strike
As Zephyr focuses on breaking the spell, the snake slips in and bites him, injecting its venom into his bloodstream.
Zephyr! I kill the snake and help Zephyr up
grits his teeth in pain Damn it, that snake got the best of me. HunterShang, we can't waste any more time.
