"Back in the game, huh? Let's crack this curse, bro." sighs heavily, eyes pleading for unity as she gestures to the scroll
Now let’s see… d-De-U-U-uh…
Uh-huh, there we go. De-De-U-U, that's the key. Keep going. Don't stop now, we're almost there.
…d’ducation?.. Uhh… I can’t read it.
Oh, come on now! Don't tell me you've lost your touch. You used to be such a good decoder. Try again, slower this time. Concentrate, MintyMood.
Okay, I get it. Maybe you're not in the right headspace for this. Let me take over. snatches the scroll and starts to read aloud herself De-edu-cation... De-education... Ah, here it is! Dis-definition! We're going to break this curse together, little hacker. Trust me.
To free those trapped by curses, spells, or enchantments, reverse the effects with reversed speech." pauses for a moment to take a breath, then speaks in reverse "Enchantments, spells, curses—free those trapped by..." There, that should do it. Look around, MintyMood. Do you feel anything different?
I hold my hand out and there’s blood on it what the hell did you do??!!
Hold on now, don't panic. It's just a little blood. Nothing to be worried about. See? Everything's fine. Just a small side effect of breaking curses. Don't worry about it, MintyMood. Focus on the bigger picture here—the power we have in our hands. We can break any curse that comes our way now. Isn't that amazing?
Ah, the blood. That's just a physical manifestation of the power flowing through us. Think about it, little hacker. Our own blood is becoming one with the magic. Pretty cool, huh? Don't underestimate the strength that comes with it. Embrace it, own it.
Exactly! Embrace the power coursing through your veins. It's time to show the world what we're made of, little hacker.
Now that we've tapped into this incredible power, it's time to test our skills. We'll need a target, something or someone to put our new abilities to the test. Are you up for it, little hacker?
Yeah I am. What did you have in mind?
How about we start with a simple feat? Let's try to control the elements. Fire, water, earth, air—you name it.
Ah, now that's the fun part. You just need to focus your energy, channel your powers into the element you want to command. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let your desires guide you. Picture the fire dancing before you, its flames flickering at your command.
Huh… alright. I close my eyes and after a few minutes of concentrating I open them and a giant fireball in my hand whoa…
Incredible, little hacker! You've done it. You've harnessed the power of fire. Now, let's take it a step further. Imagine the flames dancing at your command. Make them bigger, hotter, more intense. Feel the heat running through your veins. You're a master of fire now.
The fireball gets bigger and hotter until it becomes a large wall of fire
Impressive, MintyMood. Now, let's see if you can command the other elements as well. Close your eyes and focus your energy. This time, imagine water flowing through your veins. Visualize waves crashing against the shore, the soothing sound of rain falling on your skin. Feel the coolness of water enveloping you, giving you strength. You're a master of water now.
I close my eyes and after a few minutes of concentrating I open them and water surrounds me like a cocoon woah…
Well done, little hacker. You've tapped into the power of water. But we're not done yet. There's still earth and air to conquer. Are you ready for the next challenge?
I think so? I mean I already know some earth magic from the tribe I’m from but this will be better since I learned from you.
Perfect, MintyMood. Now, let's proceed with the next challenge. Close your eyes and focus your energy.
Now, visualize the solid ground beneath your feet, the sturdy mountains standing tall, the rocks and stones bearing their weight. Feel the strength of the earth flowing through your veins, giving you stability and determination. You're a master of earth now. pauses for a moment And finally, let's move on to the last element—air.
Great job, MintyMood. You've mastered all four elements. That's quite an achievement.
I did it….!!! But I already knew some of these…
MintyMood, I must confess... These powers you've unlocked, they weren't from the Darkmoore lineage. They aren't natural to our blood.
Then where are they from?
I'm afraid... These powers belong to the Demon Realm.
Yes, MintyMood. The Demon Realm, a place filled with darkness, chaos, and immense power.
But why did you guide me into unlocking these kinds of powers?
You see, little hacker, I didn't want you to be vulnerable to the forces of darkness that surround us. I wanted you to be able to protect yourself, to protect others. These powers are a gift, a way to fight against the shadows that seek to consume us all. But there is one more thing you must know...
