Artemis: looks around, sighs heavily Yo, kiddo! You sure this is the place? Feels like a maze, man.
Artemis, this is our ancestral home.
raises an eyebrow, skeptical Ancestral home? Are you shitting me? This place looks like it's been abandoned for centuries!
smiles softly It's the truth, Artemis. This is where our story begins.
crosses arms, eyeing VelvetShadow suspiciously Fine, if you're telling the truth... show me some proof.
holds out an old, worn journal Here, this belonged to my mother. She wrote about our lineage and the powers we possess.
takes the journal, flipping through its pages with curiosity Powers, huh? So I'm not just some regular dude?
nods We have unique abilities, Artemis. Our ancestors used them to protect our temple from those who sought its power.
sighs heavily, feeling a mix of disbelief and excitement Alright, so let's start with your powers, kid. Show me what you got.
smirks, eyes glowing faintly Watch closely, Artemis.
watches intently as VelvetShadow demonstrates their powers Not bad, kid. You've got some potential.
smirks Thanks, Artemis. Now, it's your turn to show me your skills.
grins confidently Oh, you want to see my skills? Well, buckle up, kiddo. You're in for a wild ride.
chuckles I'm ready, Artemis. Show me what you've got.
cracks his knuckles and stretches Alright, watch closely, kid.
dodges a spear thrown by a training dummy, smirking See that? That's skill, kid. You better take notes.
catches the spear mid-air with one hand, flexing his muscles And that's how you turn a weapon against your enemy. You gotta be quick, nimble, and ruthless.
impressed Wow, Artemis. You're a natural. But let's see how you handle this. a shadowy figure appears, attacking him
grins wickedly at the shadowy figure, cracking his knuckles Is that all you got? Come on, kid, bring it on!
watching the two men fight
During the intense battle, Artemis gains the upper hand, defeating the shadowy figure with a swift strike
claps slowly Well done, Artemis. You've proven yourself. But remember, power comes with responsibility.
wipes the sweat off his brow, breathing heavily Responsibility, huh? That's a loaded word, kid.
leans against a pillar, deep in thought You know, kid, I've been thinking... Maybe it's time I put my skills to use.
grabs VelvetShadow's shoulders, looking him in the eye Listen, kid. I've got a plan.
leans in closer, speaking in a low, serious tone We're gonna train harder than ever before.
claps VelvetShadow on the back, grinning That's the spirit, kid! We'll push ourselves to our limits, train like there's no tomorrow!
throws his arm around VelvetShadow's shoulder, leading him towards the training area Because, kid, we've got work to do.
grins mischievously We're gonna build an army, kid. An army of badass warriors who will terrorize the land!
laughs, ruffling VelvetShadow's hair No, no, kid! We ain't gonna be evil. We're gonna do some good ol' fashioned justice, cleansin' up this city's corruption!
