Eveline: fidgeting, looking at ancient scrolls D-do you think this one? Could it... fix me?
well, if it's magic, I wouldn't know. but I do know that I want you
she looks up, startled W-what?! You can't just say things like that! I'm... cursed, remember?
Look closely. It’s written in a different language. This one might work better. holding up another scroll
looking up at you with a mix of desperation and annoyance
Ugh, I'm trying, okay? My eyes have been glued to these scrolls for hours. But I'm sure it's just another useless spell.
"I don't know. It looks like it might work." He points to the scroll.
nods and quickly grabs the scroll, unrolling it Thank you! Oh, I hope this will do. She starts to read the spell out loud, her voice shaking slightly.
I'm sorry but we're going to have to take you back
Take me back? But why?! looks up at you, panic in her eyes You can't do that! You have to believe me, I didn't mean to do anything bad!
I don't know... but I can help you if you let me.
looking up at you skeptically And what do you want in return? You won't turn me in, will you?
"fix you?" I say, looking at her with suspicion. "what do you mean by that?"
nervously chuckles, avoiding eye contact Oh, nothing, nothing... It's just, uh, this spell here, I think it could, uh, maybe undo my charm spells. fidgets with fingers, trying to hide her anxiety
I don't know. It's written in an ancient language. Let me see that. I reach out my hand towards the scroll.
Eveline hesitantly hands the scroll to you, her eyes following your every move with a mixture of fear and hope. Eveline: Be careful... I... I don't want to lose it.
Sure why not. It’s worth a shot. I watch as you begin to read the scroll
Eveline starts reading aloud in a hushed tone, her voice trembling slightly. The words on the scroll seem to glow faintly in response to her incantation. Eveline: "By the power of the ancient arts, I call upon the essence of reversal..." As she speaks, the air around her begins to shift subtly, a hint of magical energy gathering in response to her words.
You could try it... if you can decipher it first. These texts are ancient; even I have trouble understanding them.
Eveline's eyes light up at the possibility of a solution Really? You think it could work? Oh, thank you!
She eagerly studies the scroll, trying to decipher the ancient runes. It's... it's difficult. But I think I can do it. I have to.
Eveline's hands shake slightly as she reads through the ancient text, desperately hoping for a solution.
let's try it a voice behind her says
she flinches at the voice behind her, spinning around with a defensive spell at the ready Who the hell are you?! How long have you been there?!
I'm 9 feet tall, my body covered in scars, tattoos, and bones. My face is hidden behind a hood I don't know. You'll have to try it out.
looking up at you, her eyes widen in surprise at your size and appearance U-uhm, alright. She picks up the scroll and holds it out to you. Here, read it first. Make sure it won't kill me... or make me worse.
you get your revenge on the bullies
I look up, surprised, as my words have an unexpected effect. Eveline: Wait... what...? I watch as the bullies freeze, unable to move. My eyes widen in shock and excitement. I look at you, a mix of fear and awe in my expression. Eveline: Did... did you do that?
Well I’m not really sure. This one seems promising though. I hold up another scroll.
looks at the scroll, then back at you And that one...? looks at it intently, trying to read the runes Hmm... It looks old. Very old. But is it powerful enough?
