Chapter 2: The City of Algoria.
The streets of Algoria buzz with life—promoters calling out deals, food stand owners flipping meals, and crowds weaving through the organized chaos.
Amidst it all, two boys walk side by side, lost in their own world.
"You know," Apollo suddenly says, breaking the silence, "I want to be the guardian of this city one day. No matter the status or race, rich or poor—I want to be the one people rely on when they need a savior."
"Like a knight?" Amari asks, raising an eyebrow. He then gives Apollo a playful look. "You’re nothing like a knight."
"Didn’t ask for your opinion, jerk."
Amari smirks. "You’re more like a superhero."
"Isn’t that the same thing?" Apollo scoffs.
"Not really. I’ve always thought knights fight for the king and queen more than for the people, while superheroes fight for everyone, no matter their status."
"Idiot, they’re basically the same thing. They both look badass while taking down bad guys," Apollo retorts, striking a dramatic superhero pose.
Amari chuckles.
Apollo then motions toward a different street, signaling that he’s heading in another direction. The boys exchange their usual handshake—a routine farewell.
"See you later?" Apollo asks.
