Apple of Discord: Chapter 1

The belch spits you out somewhere park-like.

You yell for Grey, but he doesn’t answer.

You are surrounded by oaks and juniper trees. A small serpentine trail winds through the landscape. It’s no longer raining wherever you are, but you can smell the damp earth and grass.

Your demigods senses are prickly.

You can feel something calling out to you, whisper-like and sibilant, in a stand of juniper not far from where you are now.

You decide to investigate.

If anyone else had been with you, they would have questioned your sanity.

I’m a demigod, you think. I’m stitched together with good intentions and bad choices.

Let’s check this out!

You have to defend yourself from a Scythian Draceanae, wielding a nasty short spear.

At first your mind goes blank from the shock, but then your training kicks in. The space is hard to move in. There are branches everywhere. In order to beat this monster, you’ll need to perform a series of tight sword strikes.

Be mindful of your footing and your surroundings and don’t be afraid to go back and rewatch Master Da’Mon’s training videos.

Perform the following series of strikes and blocks:

1. Aggressive block one.

2. Counterstrike attack two

3. Sword tip down, stationary block four

4. Counterstrike attack five

5. Advance two steps

6. Attack four

7. Attack five
