THE TRAINING BEGINS

Danman's eyes adjusted slowly to the dim light of the training room. He was standing in a large, circular space with a high ceiling. The walls were lined with various training equipment, and the floor was covered with a thick, padded mat.

Ava stood beside him, her eyes fixed on the figure standing at the far end of the room. It was Arachne, her eyes gleaming with intensity.

"Welcome, Danman, to your training," she said, her voice dripping with honey. "You have a lot to learn, but I'm confident that you'll excel."

Danman's eyes narrowed. What did she have planned?

Arachne smiled, as if reading his thoughts. "Your training will be intense," she said. "You'll be pushed to your limits, but it's necessary. You need to learn to control your powers, to harness them for good."

Danman felt a surge of unease. What did she mean by "good"?

Ava's eyes flicked to Danman, and he could see the question in her eyes. What was Arachne's true motive?

Arachne's smile grew wider. "Don't worry, Danman," she said. "I'll be with you every step of the way. And Ava, you'll be training alongside him."

Danman's eyes widened in surprise. What?

Ava's eyes narrowed. "I don't think so," she said.

Arachne's expression turned cold. "I'm afraid you don't have a choice," she said. "You'll both be training together, and you'll both be learning to work as a team."

Danman felt a surge of unease. What did Arachne have planned?

As the training began, Danman couldn't help but wonder what lay ahead. Would he be able to uncover the truth about his parents? And what would be the cost of his newfound loyalty to Arachne?

The training was intense, with Danman and Ava being pushed to their limits. They were forced to work together, to rely on each other's strengths and weaknesses.

As the days passed, Danman began to feel a sense of unease. Something wasn't right. Arachne's true motive was still unclear, and Danman couldn't shake the feeling that he was being manipulated.

But he was determined to see it through. He had to know the truth about his parents, and he had to stop Arachne's sinister plans.

As the training continued, Danman and Ava grew stronger, their bond growing tighter. But Danman couldn't help but wonder what lay ahead.

Would they be able to uncover the truth and stop Arachne? Or would they become her pawns in a much larger game?

Only time would tell.
