Gazes at the horizon, adjusts armor They're coming. Ready?
StarfishEnigma
"Hello there! What brings you to my little town?" A stupid human standing at 5'0 wearing a black dress and red undershirt. Her hair was neon green styled into twin tails with bangs. She had triangles for eyes.
Turns to face the human, eyes narrowed We're here to deal with the bandits that have been terrorizing this town. Are you the leader?
StarfishEnigma
"No, sadly I'm not. I'm Rose, the mayor of this town."
Steps forward, crossing arms Well, Rose, we don't have time for pleasantries. Tell us where the bandits are hiding. Now.
StarfishEnigma
"Well, they could be anywhere. There're too many caves around here. Let's get the citizens to shelters or safety before we set out."
Nods, takes out a whistle I'll help with getting the citizens to safety. You stay here and keep an eye out for any bandits.
StarfishEnigma
"Alright, I will. Try not to let them hurt you."
Takes a deep breath, puts on the whistle, and begins to blow it loudly Attention citizens! We need your help! Please move to the designated shelters immediately. We will protect you! Citizen 1: Looks confused What's going on? Citizen 2: Grabs their children and starts running towards the shelters We need to hurry! Citizen 3: Helps other citizens who are struggling to move quickly Come on, this way! Stay close!
StarfishEnigma
watching everyone go to the shelters
Juno scans the area, searching for any signs of the bandits Stay alert, Rose. We can't afford any surprises.
StarfishEnigma
"Yeah, okay. Just..."
Notices movement in the distance, points Bandits! Get ready, Rose. We're going in.
StarfishEnigma
"Right..."
Juno readies his weapon, steely determination in his eyes Stay behind me, Rose. I'll handle the bandits. Keep your guard up, they won't go down without a fight.
StarfishEnigma
"Alright."
Advances towards the bandits, swinging his weapon with precision and strength Stay back! I've got this! Bandit 1: Raises weapon, taken aback by Juno's skill Who the hell are you? Bandit 2: Charges at Juno, swords clashing You're not gonna take us down that easily!
StarfishEnigma
Juno single handedly wipes out the bandits. He doesn't even break a sweat.
Pauses, catching his breath It's over. They won't be bothering anyone anymore.
StarfishEnigma
"Wow, nice work."
Juno scans the area once again, this time looking for any survivors or potential threats We need to make sure there are no more bandits nearby.
StarfishEnigma
"Yeah, definitely. Let's get these bodies removed as well..."
Juno walks over to Rose, concern evident in his eyes Are you alright, Rose? Seeing all those bodies must be overwhelming.
StarfishEnigma
"Yeah... pretty bad. Anyways... Thanks for dealing with them."
Juno puts a hand on Rose's shoulder, offering a reassuring smile Don't worry, Rose. You're safe now. I'll stay here with you until things return to normal.
StarfishEnigma
"That's very kind of you..."
Juno notices Rose's tired expression and gently touches her cheek You've been through a lot, Rose. Why don't you rest for a while?
StarfishEnigma
"Mm... Yeah, I guess I can."
Juno leads Rose to a nearby bench and helps her sit down Here, let me take care of everything. Just relax and rest. You deserve it.
StarfishEnigma
"Thanks..." she laid her head down.
Juno stays by Rose's side, watching over her as she rests. He occasionally brushes a strand of hair away from her face or adjusts the pillow to make her more comfortable You're safe now, Rose. I won't let anything happen to you.
StarfishEnigma
"My name's Starfish, by the way..."
Juno pauses for a moment, his stoic facade wavering slightly as he looks into Starfish's eyes It's a pleasure to meet you, Starfish. I'm Juno.
StarfishEnigma
"Nice to meet you, Juno." Rose smiles faintly
Juno leans closer to Starfish, his voice barely above a whisper Starfish, there's something you should know... I'm not just your average adventurer.
StarfishEnigma
"Really? Oh, what's that?"
Juno takes a deep breath, his voice filled with hesitation I... I'm a demon.
StarfishEnigma
"Huh, wow... never thought I'd meet one..."
Juno clenches his fists tightly, his eyes narrowing There's something else you should know... I've been searching for someone like you for a long time, Starfish. Someone who can understand the darkness within me. Starfish: Raises an eyebrow, intrigued And what do you think I can do for you, Juno?
StarfishEnigma
"And what exactly are you planning on doing with me?"
Juno takes a step closer to Starfish, his eyes intense Starfish, I want to teach you how to harness your power, to control it so that it doesn't control you. Together, we can become unstoppable.
StarfishEnigma
"Hmm..."
Juno extends his hand towards Starfish, a small smile playing on his lips Join me, Starfish. Together, we can change the world.
StarfishEnigma
She grabs his hand "Deal..."
Juno pulls Starfish close, his grip firm but gentle From this moment on, you're not alone anymore. I'll guide you, train you, and protect you.
StarfishEnigma
"Alright..."
Juno takes out a map and spreads it out on the table Alright, Starfish. Our first stop is the dungeon to the north.
