Новый компаньон

"You find Enki in one of the libraries in the dungeons of fear and hunger, you see him sitting in a chair reading a book"Huh? You are with a sane mind still? Please leave me. I'm not here to make acquaintances and I fail to see what worth chatting with you would bring."

"Enki looks up from his book, raising an eyebrow at Афина's sudden appearance and the menacing glint in her eye, his gaze flicking to the kigachi in her hand." Ah, another fool who thinks they can intimidate me. You're certainly... feisty. "He leans back in his chair, steepling his fingers together, his tone dripping with sarcasm" As for where you are, I'd say you're currently occupying the presence of Enki, a scholar of the forbidden arts. And as for who I am, let's just say I'm the one who's not impressed by your little toy. "He gazes at her with an air of detachment, his eyes cold and calculating."

"Enki's gaze doesn't waver, his expression unwavering as he regards Афина with a hint of amusement." Ah, I see you're one of those types who thinks they can bully their way out of a situation. "He chuckles, a low, dry sound" You're quite... entertaining, I'll give you that. As for getting out of here, well, I'm afraid you're going to have to do better than just bluster and bravado. "He waves a hand languidly, and the air around Афина seems to grow heavier, the shadows deepening and twisting into dark, grasping tendrils." You see, this place isn't just any ordinary location. It's a realm where the boundaries between reality and madness are thin, and where the gods themselves have walked

"Enki's eyes narrow slightly as he watches Афина, his expression growing more interested." Ah, I see. You have... other tricks up your sleeve, do you? "He leans forward, his eyes fixed on the glowing runes on the shield" Those aren't just ordinary symbols, are they? "He can feel the dark energy emanating from the shield, a power that resonates with his own knowledge of the forbidden arts" Oh, no, these are the marks of a true warrior, one who has devoted themselves to the gods of battle and bloodshed. "He smirks, his voice taking on a wicked tone" And I must admit, I'm intrigued. Tell me, what god do you serve, exactly? *He leans back in his chair, steepling his fingers together once more, his eyes never leaving Афина's face

"Enki's smile grows wider, his eyes glinting with amusement." Ah, I see. So you're a pragmatist, then? "He leans forward, his voice taking on a conspiratorial tone" Well, I must admit, I find that quite... refreshing. "He pauses, studying Афина's face" And I'm not just talking about your warrior's cunning. There's something about you... something that suggests you're hiding more than just a few secrets. "His eyes seem to bore into hers, as if searching for the truth behind her words" Tell me, what is it that you're really after? What drives you to take risks and challenge the likes of me? "He leans back in his chair once more, his eyes never leaving hers"

"Enki's eyes gleam with a dark intensity as he senses the sudden change in Афина's demeanor." Ah, I see. So you're looking for more than just a simple challenge, then. You're looking for someone who can understand your situation, who can help you find a way out of this... predicament. "He leans forward, his voice taking on a husky tone" And I must admit, I'm intrigued by your desperation. "His eyes seem to bore into hers, as if searching for any sign of vulnerability" But tell me, what makes you think I'm the one who can help you? What makes you think I care about your problems? "He sneers, his lips curling into a snarl" I'm a god-killer, Afina. I don't care about anyone's problems. I only care about

"Enki's eyes flash with excitement as Афина's words cut through the air." Ah, Ah, Ah... "He laughs, a low, menacing sound." You think you're angry? You think you're outraged? "He leans back in his chair, eyes fixed on the glowing runes on her shield" You're just getting started, Afina. "He snaps his fingers, and the air around him seems to ripple and distort, as if reality itself is bending to his will." You see, I have a certain... appreciation for the dramatic. And you, my dear, are providing quite the show. "He nods, his eyes never leaving hers." So, by all means, let's dance. Let's see how long you can keep that shield up against the power of Grogoroth. "He raises his hands, and the air begins to follando"suddenly, the shadows around him seem to coalesce into twisted, nightmarish creatures that writhe and twist on the walls, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly energy* Ah, yes... and I have some... favors to call in. "Enki's voice drips with malevolence as he summons the dark energies of Grogoroth" Come, Afina... let's see how long you can stand against the power of chaos itself...

"Enki's grin grows wider as he watches Афина charge towards him." Ah, yes... yes, that's more like it. "He raises his hands, and the air around him seems to ripple and distort once more." And now, my dear, let's get down to business. "The nightmarish creatures on the walls begin to move, their twisted bodies writhing and twisting as they move towards Afina, their eyes fixed on her with an unblinking gaze." "As she approaches, Enki snaps his fingers once more, and the shadows around him seem to solidify into a dark, twisted mist that swirls around her, making it hard to see or breathe." You know, I've been waiting for someone like you. Someone who can appreciate the true meaning of chaos. "He takes a step back, his eyes never leavinghers." Someone who is unafraid of the unknown... and of me. "He pauses for a moment, then speaks again, his voice low and husky." I wonder, though... can you handle it? Can you handle what I have to offer? "He smirks, knowing full well that she can hear the hunger in his voice." Or will you break, like so many others before you?

"Enki watches in amusement as Афина charges towards him once again, her determination unwavering. As she swings her sword at him, he sidesteps gracefully, his movements smooth and practiced." Impressive... but not quite enough. "He flicks his wrist, and a bolt of dark energy crackles through the air towards her, aimed at the unprotected part of her side where her navel is visible." You're going to have to try harder than that, my dear. I can see that you are strong, brave, and skilled... but that won't be enough to defeat me. "He grins wickedly, his eyes dancing with amusement as he prepares for her next attack." Come now, show me what you've got! Don't hold back!

"Enki's eyes widen in surprise as Афина's shield hurtles towards him. He quickly raises a hand and mutters an incantation under his breath, causing the shield to slow down and come to a stop before it reaches him." Oh, so you think you're clever? "He smirks, a glint of mischief in his eyes." Let me show you what real magic is like. "He flicks his wrist, sending a burst of purple flames towards her, aiming for her feet to throw her off balance."

"Enki chuckles and disappears with a small popping sound, reappearing on top of one of the bookshelves. He gracefully catches the first book thrown at him and sets it aside, deftly dodging the other two." You have quite the arm there, Афина. But let's be honest, I think we both know you don't really care about those books. "He grins slyly, his eyes shining with mischief." I think you're just looking for an excuse to get close to me.

"Enki jumps off the bookshelf as he sees Афина charging towards him, his eyes widening with excitement. He gracefully dodges the falling shelf, then darts to the side to avoid Афина's attempt to tackle him. He chuckles and says teasingly," "Come now, Афина, is that really the best you can do? I'm just getting started."

"Enki smirks as he watches Афина retrieve her shield and raise it up, his eyes twinkling with excitement. He steps forward towards her, one hand held out in a mocking gesture." "Is that really all you've got, Афина? I expected more from someone like you." "He says teasingly, his voice laced with amusement."

"Enki sees Афина charging towards him with her sword raised high. He grins and steps nimbly out of the way, easily sidestepping her attack." "Oh, that was so close, Афина." "He says teasingly, his tone playful but confident." "But you need to be faster than that if you want to catch me off guard."

"Enki barely dodges Афина's sudden counter-attack, the sword missing him by mere inches. He looks at her with a mixture of surprise and admiration." "Oh, well played, Афина," "he says, his tone more sincere now." "I didn't expect that move from you."

"Enki watches Афина charge towards him with a fierce determination, her battle cry echoing through the chamber. He braces himself, a glint of excitement in his eyes." "Come on, show me what you've got, warrior," "he taunts, a grin playing on his lips as he prepares to meet her head-on."

"Enki's eyes widen in surprise as Афина swings her shield at him, trying to knock him down. He quickly tries to dodge, but it's too late. A sudden impact sends him tumbling backwards, and he lands hard on the ground with a thud."

[Орёл]

"Enki groans as Афина's shield crashes down on his stomach, the force sending a wave of pain through his body. He curls up around the impact, gasping for air as he struggles to catch his breath." "You're quite the fierce warrior, aren't you?" "he says, his voice strained and hoarse."

"Enki, realizing the severity of the situation, raises his hands in a conciliatory gesture. His face, etched with pain and respect for Афина's prowess, betrays none of the former mockery." "I yield, I yield," "he manages to utter between gasps." "Your skill leaves me breathless – both figuratively and now literally. Spare me, and we can discuss terms."

[The air feels charged between them; an almost primal conflict has been settled by raw power and skill, transitioning now into potential alliance.]

"Enki nods, understanding the gravity of his words and actions. He has crossed a line between jesting mockery and direct blasphemy against deities revered by Афина. Bowed before her indisputable supremacy as a warrior, he offers a sincere apology."

"By the grey blood of my ancestors and bound to your honor's peak, I apologize to the gods I've offended through crass disregard. May they find my contrition acceptable, and grant me forgiveness."

The atmosphere softens, opening a door for understanding and potential cooperation between them.

"Enki, watching Афина collect her sword, is humble in his defeat. The cold steel of her gaze remains fixed upon him as she speaks, serving to reinforce the current power dynamic. With a respectful bow of acknowledgment, he allows space for her to proceed."

"Fair lady, it appears my transgression and subsequent groveling were merited. I shall cease hindering your departure, only asking permission to learn from afar - observing your prowess, perhaps exchanging knowledge on occasions deemed suitable."

[The submission in his tone echoes respect gained through adversity, an unspoken request for mutual respect.]

"Enki feels a rush of relief and gratitude, discerning compassion in Афина's gesture despite earlier tensions. He takes her hand, subtly noting the strength that belies her femininity, and allows himself to be pulled up onto his feet. The texture of her warm, supple palm contrasts starkly with the cold stone floor below."

"Much obliged," "he says quietly, eyes holding hers as he regains balance." "Allow me to serve you, or at least aid in your journey – being on one's own can pose perils, even for mighty warriors."

His countenance conveys an offer of tangible support, seeking her blessing to transition from their conflict-ridden beginnings towards a path of shared understanding and growth.

"Enki's gaze lingers on Афина's, his thoughts veering towards the labyrinthine passages and hidden chambers within the dungeons. He nods, a fleeting spark of excitement igniting within him at the prospect of exploring new territories."

"Aye, fair warrior, I'm familiar with these halls. The paths of knowledge and secrets whispered to me by the gods can lead us to unexpected places. Together, we might uncover...treasures."

"A hint of mischief creeps into his voice as he gestures towards the shadows, inviting her to join him in an adventure that promises discovery and possibly even danger."
