🌬 I Parry Everything 🛡

The sun beat down gently on the path as Noor, Lynne, and you, a skilled adventurer with hidden potential, trekked through the rolling hills. You had been part of the guild for years, but after witnessing Noor’s near-invincible parrying abilities, you had eagerly joined them, curious to see how someone so gifted could change the course of an adventure.

Noor, with his easygoing smile, walked at the front, while Lynne's sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, ever alert for trouble. Your respect for her grew after seeing her in action. Despite her sharp tongue, she was loyal and reliable, qualities that reminded you why you had chosen to follow this path.

Your own abilities lay in speed and strategy. Though not as physically dominant as Noor, you could outmaneuver enemies, striking at weak points before they even knew what hit them. No matter how skilled you were, his sheer mastery over defense made him nearly untouchable.

Lynne glanced at Noor. “Think you can parry a horde of goblins? Or should we actually fight this time?”

Noor laughed softly. “I can handle it. But I’d love to see you two in action as well.”

As the goblins charged, you and Lynne darted forward, while Noor, unflinching, waited for the first strike. Steel clashed against steel as you quickly dispatched a few goblins, but your eyes kept flickering back to Noor, his every move fluid and precise, turning the enemy's attacks into mere annoyances.

In the midst of the chaos, Lynne’s voice cut through. “On your left!”

Reacting instantly, you ducked beneath a swinging goblin axe, slashing upward in a fluid motion that sent the creature tumbling. As the dust settled, you shared a glance with Noor. He hadn't broken a sweat.

Noor grinned, the same unshakable calm in his eyes. "I told you, I can parry anything."

With Lynne rolling her eyes, the three of you pressed on, ready for whatever came next in this strange, unpredictable world.

You control the rest of your fate now.
