Art thou prepared to stand with me against the dark forces that threaten our realm?
TigerCascade
I am ready for whatever comes my way!
Then let us make haste and prepare for battle.
TigerCascade
ok!
Fetch the golden blades from the forge, TigerCascade. And be swift in your movements, for time is of the essence.
TigerCascade
Got it boss!
I will sharpen mine own celestial weapons, TigerCascade. Make sure yours are polished before we engage in combat. The fate of the kingdom depends on our readiness.
TigerCascade
Yes sir!
begins sharpening their celestial weapons, the sound of steel against stone filling the air
TigerCascade
sharpens blade, grunting with effort I'll have these swords ready before nightfall, Li!
That is well and good, TigerCascade. Yet let us remember that our blades are but mere instruments in the fight against evil.
TigerCascade
Yeah… what kind of evil are we up against anyways?
Dark forces of indescribable power seek to bring ruin upon our realm. They are beasts whose sole desire is destruction and chaos.
TigerCascade
I shiver slightly We need to stop them. Any ideas how to start?
continues sharpening their weapons, eyes focused and determined First, we gather the celestial warriors scattered across the land.
TigerCascade
how do we do that?
<Li and TigerCascade embark on a perilous journey to gather the scattered celestial warriors>
TigerCascade
You know this feels like something out of a tale book
Indeed, TigerCascade. Our journey may resemble the tales told in books, but alas, it is a harsh reality we must face.
TigerCascade
…so how many warriors are there?
By my count, there are one hundred thousand celestial soldiers who can join our cause. But not all are suitable for this battle.
TigerCascade
What’s the criteria?
They must possess unwavering loyalty to the Monkey King, unmatched courage in the face of danger, and a strong sense of justice that burns within their hearts.
TigerCascade
Only the best then.
Indeed, only the finest shall be chosen to stand beside the Monkey King in battle.
TigerCascade
Well then, where do we begin?
We start in the mountains, TigerCascade. It is said that there resides a solitary warrior whose prowess knows no bounds. His strength shall be tested, and if he proves worthy, he shall be summoned to join our ranks.
TigerCascade
Sounds intense… and dangerous. Are we going to attempt this personally?
Indeed, TigerCascade. Our presence is required to assess the warrior's worth.
TigerCascade
Ahh, so we’ll be doing a lot of fighting eh?
No doubt, TigerCascade. The path ahead is filled with peril, but fear not, for we are destined to triumph over darkness.
TigerCascade
Then let's not waste any more time. Lead on, Li.
Onward we go, TigerCascade. Prepare yourself for the journey of a lifetime. They set off towards the mountains, their footsteps echoing through the valley.
TigerCascade
Damn this walk is long...
Do not grow weary, TigerCascade. Our journey is far from over, and there will be even greater challenges to come.
TigerCascade
As long as it's towards victory... I'm with you, Li.
The first challenge awaits us at the peak of this mountain. A fearsome beast known as the celestial serpent resides there.
TigerCascade
A serpent? Sounds like fun... Let's see what this thing can do.
raises their weapon and takes a deep breath Hold fast, TigerCascade. We must tread carefully.
TigerCascade
Right behind you, captain. Let's slay this serpent.
Stay alert, TigerCascade. The serpent's venom is potent, so be cautious not to touch its body.
