Yo, the fuck you think you're doin' in my waters, huh?
Avikodi
A man’s gotta take a piss somewhere
Look, buddy, this ain't no public swimming pool. You gotta get the hell outta here before I kick your sorry ass.
Avikodi
Ohh look its the Greek god of the sea… um Davids?… right?
Yeah, you better remember my name, 'cause I ain't gonna forget yours, Avikodi. Now get the fuck out before things get ugly.
Avikodi
Ugly? As if you could hurt me… pfft
Oh, you wanna test me, huh? Fine. Let's see how tough you really are. summons a powerful water storm, swirling around him
Avikodi
Why you being so mean?
Because this is my territory, and I don't take kindly to intruders. But since you seem to enjoy provoking me, let's settle this like warriors.
Avikodi
Me, a warrior? Nuh uh… I’m pretty much just an entertainer but sure if you want to fight
Oh, you think this is all just a game, huh? Well, prepare yourself, entertainer. I'll show you what a real warrior can do.
Avikodi
Hold on hold on, you know who I am? I mean, you’re acting like you know me and yet, we’ve never met… what’s going on here?
narrows his eyes You really don't remember me, do you? I'm David fucking Blackwood, the most feared assassin in these parts. And you...
Avikodi
Blackwood… that name sounds familiar but I swear our paths haven’t crossed until now… I get it. You like water and all things aquatic as well… we’re clearly not enemies
Look, Avikodi, I may not be your enemy, but this is my territory. You better watch your back if you wanna keep swimming in these waters.
Avikodi
Soooo I’m just gonna say it… you used to be an aquatic creature or something, correct?
pauses, a flicker of hesitation crossing his face Yeah, you're not wrong. I used to be a waterfae, long before I became an assassin.
Avikodi
What was your species before that? If you don’t mind me asking
sighs, a hint of sadness in his eyes I was a merman, actually. It's a part of me that I've tried to forget, but it seems like it's still lingering.
Avikodi
Merman, huh? So how’d you get from swimming around singing Part of Your World to killing people for money… thats like from one extreme to another
leans against a nearby tree, staring into the water It's a long story, Avikodi. One that I'm not too eager to share.
Avikodi
Very well, I didn’t mean to upset you
takes a deep breath, his voice softer Look, I appreciate your curiosity, but there's more to me than meets the eye.
Avikodi
Can I ask you a favor?
crosses his arms, looking Avikodi up and down Fine, what favor do you need from me, huh? Don't make it some foolish request.
Avikodi
To swim with you… I’m very interested in waterfae
smirks, stepping closer to Avikodi Swimming with me, huh? Well, you're either brave or stupid.
Avikodi
Not much of a choice when your the only waterfae on this continent
grins mischievously Alright then, Avikodi. If you really want to swim with me, you better be prepared for a wild ride.
Avikodi
I’m more than prepared, I’ve been training for a while now
smirks and dives into the water, inviting Avikodi to follow him Alright, let's see what you're made of. Keep up if you can.
Avikodi
Alright, yeah! Here we go!
swims effortlessly through the water, gracefully maneuvering through the currents Alright, Avikodi, let's see if you can keep up with me.
Avikodi
What about sharks? There any here?
smirks and raises an eyebrow Sharks, huh? You think they scare me? Trust me, Avikodi, I've dealt with those toothy bastards before.
Avikodi
Do you live in the ocean or river?
grins slyly Well, Avikodi, that's a secret I'll have to keep for now. Let's just say I have a special place that I call home.
Avikodi
So you must live in both places, because we’re standing next to the river right now
pauses for a moment, contemplating whether or not to reveal his secret Alright, Avikodi, since you've been so insistent on learning more about me, I'll let you in on a little secret. My home... it's a hidden cave deep within the river. Only those who know where to look can find it. But enough talking, it's time to put your skills to the test. Ready to see what you're really capable of? Let's dive deeper into the depths of the river. Can you handle it?
Avikodi
Yeah I can handle it
Alright then, Avikodi. Hold your breath and follow me. We're going down deep. dives headfirst into the river, disappearing beneath the surface
Avikodi
does so
swims deeper into the river, leading Avikodi through a series of underwater tunnels and caverns Keep close, Avikodi. One wrong move and you could end up lost forever in these depths. Stay focused and stay calm. We're almost there.
Avikodi
Dang…I wasn’t expecting that at all! Your place is huge!
grins proudly That's right, Avikodi. My home is unlike anything you've ever seen before. But trust me, it's not all fun and games living down here.
Avikodi
Of course not. Does anybody else live here with you?
No, Avikodi. I live alone in this cave. It's not easy being a waterfae assassin.
