the hero debut

Chapter 2: "The Chronos' Blessing and the Hero's Debut"

After their encounter with Chronos, the god of time, Kai and Zac felt a surge of energy and strength flow through their bodies. Chronos had granted them a physical boost, preparing them for their journey ahead.

"Head to the town of Willowdale," Chronos instructed. "It's a few days' journey from here. You'll find guidance and resources to aid you on your quest."

With a sense of purpose, the brothers set off towards Willowdale. As they walked, they noticed the scenic beauty of Tenria, with rolling hills and sparkling streams.

After a few hours of walking, they entered the bustling town of Willowdale. People of all shapes and sizes hurried about, going about their daily business.

As they strolled through the town, they heard a woman's scream. Kai and Zac rushed towards the sound, finding a group of thugs mugging a frightened woman.

Kai swiftly analyzed the situation, his eyes scanning the thugs' positions. With a deep breath, he charged forward, his fists flying in a flurry of motion.

The first thug swung a crude club, but Kai dodged it with ease, countering with a swift kick that sent the thug crashing into a nearby cart. The second thug lunged with a dagger, but Kai caught his wrist, twisting it until the weapon fell to the ground.

As the third thug attacked, Kai disarmed him and used his own momentum against him, sending him stumbling into his companions. The woman took advantage of the distraction to escape, her eyes locked on Kai with gratitude.

Just then, a gleaming pair of daggers appeared in Kai's hands, as if summoned by his need. The twin daggers, Ignis and Glacies, felt balanced and deadly, their blades etched with intricate runes that pulsed with a fierce blue light.

With his new weapons, Kai dispatched the thugs with swift precision, his movements almost dance-like. The fight ended in mere moments, leaving the thugs defeated and Kai standing victorious.

The woman approached him, her eyes shining with thanks. "Thank you, stranger," she said, her voice trembling. "I owe you a debt of gratitude."

Kai smiled, tucking Ignis and Glacies into his belt. "No need to thank me, ma'am. Just glad I was in the right place at the right time."

And with that, the scene ends, with Kai having acquired his first weapons, the twin daggers Ignis and Glacies, and a reputation as a hero in the town of Willowdale.
