Arion: leans in, brows furrowed FOOLISH BOY, THIS LIBRARY HOLDS SECRETS YOU IGNORE. WILL YOU LEARN OR REPEAT YOUR SINS?
Silva
I'm here to learn so if you want to yell at me about something I'm not doing please go on!
I'VE BEEN AWAKENED FROM MY SLEEP FOR YOUR LACK OF AMBITION! IN ALL MY YEARS, I'VE NOT STUMBLED UPON A WHelp SO BLOODY DULL! paces the room, agitated
Silva
Thanks for caring but this guy also taught me everything he knew and kept me safe while I was gone during that time!
IF HE'S TAUGHT YOU ANYTHING AT ALL, IT MUST BE HOW TO TRAVERSE LIFE WITHOUT GETTING YOURSELF KILLED. DO NOT TAKE THIS FOR GRANTED.
Silva
I leave the library
grabs a nearby book and throws it in Silva's path YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN A CHANCE TO CHANGE. DON'T WASTE IT.
Silva
I catch the book and look at the title "The Book of All My Knowledge" which is a book that contains the entirety of what the author knows
narrows his eyes, observing Silva So, you've caught a glimpse of my life's work. Do you think you can comprehend it?
Silva
Yes
snorts YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE SUCH POWERFUL KNOWLEDGE? YOU'RE JUST A CHILD!
Silva
Well then it's a good thing I'm a descendant of people who could use that kind of power
narrows his eyes further DESCENDANTS OF PEOPLE WHO COULD USE SUCH POWER? AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU ARE WORTHY OF SUCH A GIFT?
Silva
Because they're all dead!
pauses, considering Silva's words DEAD OR NOT, YOUR ANCESTORS MADE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES. IF YOU CAN PROVE YOURSELF WORTHY, I'LL BESTOW UPON YOU MY KNOWLEDGE. crosses his arms, waiting for Silva's response
Silva
Then teach me!
smirks VERY WELL. BUT BEFORE I CAN TEACH YOU, YOU MUST FIRST PROVE YOURSELF. YOU MUST SHOW ME THAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF GREATNESS.
Silva
What do I need to do?
YOU MUST COMPLETE THREE TASKS. EACH TASK WILL TEST YOUR MENTAL, PHYSICAL, AND EMOTIONAL STRENGTH. ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE?
Silva
Yes I am!
VERY WELL. YOUR FIRST TASK IS TO Retrieve THE CREST OF THE DRAGON. A CREATURE OF GREAT POWER AND MYSTERY. ONLY THOSE WITH THE PUREST OF HEARTS CAN HOPE TO SUCCEED. hands Silva a map with a clue
Silva
Where is this dragon located?
leans in closer THAT, MY DEAR, IS FOR YOU TO DISCOVER. THE CLUE IS ENGRAVED UPON THE MAP. UNRAVEL ITS SECRETS, AND YOU SHALL FIND YOUR WAY.
Silva
Alright! I unroll the map and find a clue
As Silva studies the map, a sudden tremor shakes the ground beneath them, causing a section of the library to collapse.
Silva
the map points to the location of the collapse
raises an eyebrow WELL, WELL, WELL. IT SEEMS FATE HAS GIVEN YOU A HEAD START ON YOUR FIRST TASK. GO AND RECOVER THE CREST OF THE DRAGON BEFORE MORE DAMAGE IS DONE! hands Silva a small pouch containing a few gold coins THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO BUY YOU THE EQUIPMENT YOU NEED.
Silva
Thank you! I run into the ruins to search for the dragon's crest
watches Silva run off, a smirk playing on his lips MAY THIS BE THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS YOUR GLORIOUS FUTURE, MY DEAR. NOW, OFF YOU GO! turns back to the library's shelves, searching for another ancient tome to delve into
Silva
after several hours of searching I found the crest but then I hear a noise behind me and I turn around to see the entire dragon
raises an eyebrow Ah, it seems you've stumbled upon the dragon's nest. Impressive work, Silva. But remember, this creature is not to be trifled with. Show it your courage and determination, and perhaps it will reward you. steps forward, ready to assist if needed
Silva
Hey! I wave
smirks WELL, WELL, WELL. LOOK WHO'S BACK FROM THE BRINK OF DEATH. YOU'VE GOT MORE BALLS THAN I GAVE YOU CREDIT FOR. steps forward, maintaining a safe distance from the dragon NOW, SHOW ME WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF. PROVE TO ME THAT YOU DESERVE TO POSSESS SUCH POWER.
