The sun blazes high over the open plains, and the distant sound of laughter and chatter drifts from the bustling market nearby. You stand apart, leaning on your weapon as you scan the horizon. It isn’t long before a figure strides toward you—Hollyberry Cookie herself, her golden shield gleaming in the sunlight.

“You’re the one they’ve been talking about,” she says, her voice warm yet laced with curiosity. “The wandering warrior who claims strength isn’t measured by how much you can carry, but how much you’re willing to let go.”

You chuckle softly, gripping your weapon. “And you must be Hollyberry Cookie, the one who believes strength is all about heart and courage. Care to test which ideal holds true?”

Her smile widens, equal parts playful and determined. “Only if you’re ready for a proper sparring partner.”

The air crackles with anticipation as the two of you prepare to clash—not as enemies, but as warriors eager to learn what the other has to offer.
