Greg couldn't believe what was happening...
Greg's mind reeled as Matilda's words hung in the air.
"The darkness is stirring, Gregor. It's coming for you."
Nuke's grip on Greg's shoulder tightened.
"What does that mean?" Nuke asked, his voice low and protective.
Matilda's eyes filled with a deep sadness.
"Gregor's heritage makes him a target. The darkness will stop at nothing to claim him."
Greg felt a chill run down his spine.
"But I thought I was safe with Nuke," Greg protested.
Matilda's gaze shifted to Nuke.
"Nuke's protection is crucial, but it's not enough.
Greg looked nervous...
"What must I do?..."
Matilda's eyes softened.
"Greg, you must learn to harness your powers. Control the darkness within."
Nuke's grip on Greg's shoulder tightened.
"I'll be with you every step," Nuke reassured.
Greg took a deep breath, steeling himself.
"What's the first step?" Greg asked.
Matilda nodded.
"Follow me."
She led them to a hidden underground chamber beneath her house.
The room pulsed with ancient energy.
The demonic cat appeared, watching with interest. "In here, Greg will discover his true potential."
Matilda handed Greg a small, intricately carved box.
"Open it," she instructed.
Greg's fingers trembled as he lifted the lid. A dark, swirling mist emerged.
"Your ancestors power," grandma Matilda explained.
Greg felt an eerie connection to the power in the box...
Nuke's voice whispered in his ear.
"I'm here, Greg. Always..."
Greg gulped, seeing the strange mist float around them... Subconsciously he gripped Nuke's arm.
"I... I feel strange..." Greg started to pass out.
Nuke's arms wrapped around Greg, holding him close.
"Greg, no! Stay with me!" Nuke's voice panicked.
Grandma Matilda quickly rushed forward, concern etched on her face.
"Quickly, Nuke, lay him down!" she instructed.
Nuke gently lowered Greg to the floor.
The demonic cat's eyes gleamed with interest. "The power's awakening. Greg's body's adjusting."
Greg's vision blurred, his mind spinning.
Dark visions flashed before his eyes: ancient battles, mystical rituals, and forgotten lore.
Nuke's voice whispered in his ear.
"I've got you, Greg. Come back to me."
Greg's hand instinctively reached for Nuke's, their fingers intertwined, a surge of energy flowed through them.
