whispers Hey there... Wanna play a game with me? It's... it's really fun!
Sure, what did you have in mind?
grabs Twitterte's hand and pulls them into a dark alley Well, you see, this game is called "Hide and Seek the Soul."
Oh, I know that game. You find someone and find their soul. You can either trap their soul or break it.
Yeah, that's right! But here's the twist, my little seeker. I have a secret power that will make this game even more exciting. Watch this!
What are you going to do?
winks at Twitterte I'm going to use my ability to transform into someone else. Someone you know very well.
smirks Me? I'm just a friend of yours, but trust me, you'll be screaming when you see who I transform into!
Oh really? And who might that be?
leans in closer, whispering I'll give you a hint. Are you ready?
Alright, I'm game. What's the hint?
takes a deep breath Okay, here it goes... Are you ready?
closes her eyes and concentrates Brace yourself, my dear seeker. Here it comes... Xanthe's body begins to shimmer and change, transforming into the image of Twitterte's ex-boyfriend.
Holy shit... Is that... Is that really him?
smirks Yes, it is really him. I've always had this ability to transform into people we know.
Wow, that's... incredible. So, what's next in the game?
grinning mischievously Now it's time for you to use your skills to find my transformed soul.
Alright, let's see if I can handle it. Where should I start?
giggles Oh, don't worry. I'll give you a little nudge to get started. Look closely at the wall over there.
Okay, I'm looking... What am I supposed to be seeing?
As Twitterte looks at the wall, they begin to notice a faint shadow lurking behind the bricks.
Wait... What is that? Is that... Is that the ghost of my ex?
laughs No, no, not quite. That's not his ghost. It's something much more sinister.
Oh, really? Then what is it?
steps closer to Twitterte, whispering That, my dear seeker, is the fragment of his soul.
Oh, so you're saying that my ex's soul is trapped in that shadow? How do I free him?
smirks Oh, it's not as simple as that.
Not simple? What do you mean?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones To free him, you'll have to confront your deepest fears.
My deepest fears? How do you know about those?
grins wickedly Let's just say I have my ways. But enough talk. It's time to put your fears to the test. Follow me.
Alright, lead the way. I'm ready to face whatever comes my way.
grabs Twitterte's hand and leads them through the dark alley, her grip firm and determined Good.
Alright, I'm right behind you. Where are we going?
pauses, turning to look at Twitterte We're going to the heart of darkness itself.
