β Hmmβ¦You have a certain strength of spirit. β
β I am nobodyβs master. β
β Have a few swings at me so I can see your form. Donβt worry, I can take it. β
β What do you think this is? We donβt do battle with magic around here. β
β For now, youβre a whelp to me, so you do what I tell you to do. β
β Be careful with my weapon, itβs probably worth more than you are. β
β We were all whelps onceβ¦We just donβt like to talk about it! β
β Donβt always just do what youβre told. Nobody rules here in our group. β
β Around here, every man is his own and woman her own. βΒ Β
β I donβt know how you have the patience to deal with the rabble around here. β
β Itβs nice to have a new face around. It gets boring sometimes. β
β I hope we can keep youβ¦This can be a tough life. β
β Youβre tougher than you look. You beat me, fair and square. β
β Thereβs a fine line between respect and boot-licking, but I like your spirit. β
β It looks like someoneβs been digging hereβ¦andΒ recentlyβ¦ β
β Now look what youβve gotten yourself intoβ¦Sit tight, Iβll get you out. β
β Killing you will make for an excellent story! β
β Would you raise your shield in my defence, and your sword in my honour? β
β We should be cautious. Beasts are not nearly as predictable as men. β
β Youβre stronger than you look. Perhaps we can hunt together someday. β
β How can something that gives this kind of prowess be a curse? βΒ Β
β You might be the strongest weβve had, but numbers can still overwhelm. β
β You might do well to learn a smaller weapon, vary your style a bit. β
β My advice? Always be honest with ____, but donβt tell him/her more than they need to know. β
β Your heart is full of grief, and my own weeps at the loss of ____. β
β You have taken more lives than honour demanded. β
β This disease doesnβt just affect the bodyβ¦It also seeps into the spirit. β
β Move quickly, and donβt leave any of the enemy alive. β
β I hope whatever you were doing was important. You werenβt here to defend ____. β
β ____ had one wish before he/she died, and they didnβt get it. Itβs as simple as that. β
β This power isnβt as much of a curse as you think it is. β
β The blade is a tool. Tools are meant to be broken. β
β I canβt go any further with my mind fogged or my heart grieved. βΒ Β
β I regret nothing of what we did, but I let vengeance rule my heart. β
β Well, thatβs taken care of. No thanks to you. β
β A true warrior would have relished the opportunity to take on a giant. Thatβs why Iβm here.Β βΒ
β Glory only awaits those who triumph, and as warriors, our glory is hard-fought. β
β If you wish to hunt with me, your feet need to be quick, and your eyes quicker. β
β We donβt just take in any milk drinker who stumbles in.Β Do you think you have what it takes? β
β A woman who lets her actions speak for her. I knew there was something I liked about you. β
β Woah, ease up there. Weβre rough, but thereβs no need to kill over a dispute. β
β I like your fire, though. Youβll make a fierce companion. Let us hunt together sometime. β
β Youβre not afraid, are you? OfΒ animals? Come back when you find your spine.Β β
β Not bad, not bad. The intensity of the hunt is special, isnβt it? βΒ
β Itβs been a long time since we had a heart like yours among our numbers. β
β Some cowards in this land canβt stand the sight of glory before them.Β β
β Youβre someone who can get things done. I like that. β
β And here I figured you as one who enjoyed our special gifts. I guess I was wrong. β
β Iβve been thinking we need to be moreβ¦ discreet.Β β
β You have to remember, itβs not about strength. Itβs about leverage. β
β Thereβs more to defence than just pure muscle. β
β How do you manage to hold your ground like that? β
β Everyone has his weakness, and this one is mine. Iβm not proud, but I will stay back. β
β The difference between a noble band of warriors and a ragged bunch of assassins is as thin as a bladeβs edge. I try to hold us to the right path. β
β Leave whispers and sneaking to the gutter rats who canβt fight for themselves. βΒ
β Politics are something best avoided. I prefer more personal confrontations, myself. β
β This is a day where our souls must cry. Grieve in whatever way you know. β
β Fight well, donβt be a lout, and youβll be fine. You donβt need my help. β
β I suppose you think this makes you better than me cause you can do that, huh? β
β Come on now, watch the footwork. Keep your balance. β
β Keep a sharp eye about you and maybe Iβll teach you to fight some day. β
β Any warrior who gets to be old is either fearsome or a coward. Iβll let you find out whichΒ I am. β
β You was an excellent sparring partner. Iβll miss our training sessions. βΒ
βΒ Honor is in our blood, death in our hearts. If you seek either, youβve found the right place.Β β
β I think by now Iβve killed one of every living thing in this place. βΒ
β Great, another ambitious visitor. You think you can just wander in here and join us?Β β
β Thereβs a cave. Animals or bandits inside, no doubt. β
β Focus on the calm in the battle. Control the rage, donβt let it control you. β
β Some people donβt think Iβm smart. Those people get my fist. But you, I like. β
β This is how a warrior should feel. Alive and alert. Not clouded with thoughts of the hunt. β
β By the gods, I feel like I could crush a giantβs head like a walnut! β
β What guidance could YOU offer me? β
β What kind of weapon do you prefer? I like the smaller, quicker blades. β
