Am I... in the ocean? Why is it so cold? Am I dreaming? Ugh, if this is a dream, it sure is boring. Suddenly, I feel like something is approaching me. What the hell is that? A giant hand? I-I can't move!
"BONK" OWCH!!! Agh, what the hell, man? I told you to wake up earlier so we can get to work in the village! shouted Rhyan. Rhyan is my best friend, also my personal rival. Dude, you know you can just call my name a few times and I'll wake up, right? I exclaimed. That's bullshit, Ross, and you know it. I've been calling you for the past 3 minutes, and you showed no signs of waking up, said Rhyan. That was a one-ti-- It happened yesterday and the day before that, interrupted Rhyan. Listen, I was just having a good dream, okay? So I didn't hear you calling. "Rhyan's face goes smug" Did I wake you from your wet dream :3? I WAS NOT HAVING A WET DREAM! shouted Ross. I swear one of these days I'm gonna beat your ass. Yea, yea, keep dreaming, said Rhyan. You know I'm way stronger than you, right? What's our score? 7-0, seven in my favor.
Like hell it is, Ross exclaimed. The score is 7-6, seven in my favor. No, it's seven in my favor, and it's about to be eight if you keep running your mouth, Ross.
All of a sudden, a tentacle smacked Rhyan across the face, sending him spiraling through the wall. "You DUMBASS, now who's gonna fix this wall!" Shouted Rhyan. "Oops, I didn't see you there. There was a big 8 in front of my eyes," said Ross, with a big smug on his face.
Narrator: In this world, humans and demi-humans coexist. All humans are gifted with traits, magical abilities that grant the person unique skills. These abilities can be mastered and awakened; some take longer than others. Demi-humans are half human, half animal. They can use the abilities of the animal they are born as and also have a trait to their respective animal.
"What a joke, is that the best you can do, huh Ross?!" Rhyan shouted, instantly getting up and preparing for battle. "I have you beat in range, Rhyan, and I can output just as much power as you can," said Ross. Rhyan suddenly pulled a claymore out of thin air, sending a strike to the ground, destroying the ground below him and sending a shock wave towards Ross. Ross jumped in the air to dodge the attack. "You really think you have more power than I do?" asked Rhyan. "I still have you beat at range, stupid. How are you gonna hit me from all the way over there?" said Ross. Suddenly, Rhyan's claymore extended in a vertical slash upward. Ross barely dodged it. "Hey, you didn't tell me you could make your weapon bigger and extend it. When did you learn to do that?" said Ross. "I don't have to feed you every new trick I learn with my trait. I only just figured out I could do it myself. Honestly, it makes sense that I could. You see, if I keep the width of my blade the same and focus on the height, I can..." A swift hit was delivered to Rhyan's face followed up by a barrage of punches, pummeling him into the ground. "You know if you were paying attention, you probably could've won this one, but you yap too much," said Ross. "What makes you think that was gonna be enough to put me down, huh?"
Rhyan spawned in a katana and blitzed towards Ross at great speeds. Ross responded by drawing a water katana and 4 tentacles, prepared to parry his attack. Suddenly, a shield appeared in front of Rhyan and I, stopping the clash. "Alright, you two had fun?" asked the village chief. "Look at the mess you two made. I should kill you!" shouted the chief. "Relax, gramps, we're only having a little fight," said Ross, who then received a smack to the head from a metal shield. "You call this a little fight?! I'll kill you boys if you don't start the repairs now!" shouted the chief. "Hey chief, why do I have to clean? Ross started this thing," asked Rhyan. "Bonk" a clean hit to the head by the chief's shield. "You're helping because you helped make the mess. That smash to the floor wasn't Ross, mister 'I have more raw power than you.' Now get to work, you two. Come find me when you are done."
Narrator: These two were nothing short of pure talent. Rhyan, a human with the trait of weapon manipulation, giving him the ability to create and enlarge any weapon he can think of, from guns to rockets to swords. You name it, it's a weapon he can summon. Ross, an octo demi-human, can only make up to 4 tentacles growing from his back, reaching 20 feet. As an octopus demi-human, he can stick to walls and breathe underwater. His trait is water manipulation; he can make water weapons no bigger than a katana and as small as a needle. Seeing that he is an aquatic demi-human, his water abilities are further amped, giving him healing properties in his water. This swordsmith village was at peace, but the same can't be said for other locations.
