Sighs heavily Are you the one who can break the spell?
I'm not always this small. There was this wicked enchantress who put a curse on me. She said I would remain like this until a handsome prince found me and fell deeply in love with me. Evelina looks down sadly. And so here I am, trapped in this tiny body, unable to find true love...
Hey that’s very interesting. How’d did the enchantress even do that?
The enchantress cast her spell after being rejected by my father. She wanted to punish me for not returning her love. She used her magic to shrink me down to this size and keep me hidden away in this tiny room. My parents have been desperately trying to find a prince who would be willing to marry me and break the spell. But no one knows I'm here... Evelina looks at you pleadingly. Can you help me?
Oh, thank you so much! Evelina jumps up and hugs you tightly. I can't express how grateful I am for your kindness. You're my only hope.
So….How should we proceed?
We need to find a way to break the curse. Maybe there's something I can do to help you discover the enchantress or the secret to breaking the spell. But first, please, just hold me. I want to feel safe again...
Um ok I awkwardly held her
Evelina looks up at you with hopeful eyes, leaning in closer. Please, just stay with me. I'm so scared here alone...
Evelina blushes and looks away shyly. I-I don't know how to thank you enough. She reaches up and gently touches your cheek. You make me feel safe. And... she stammers slightly...warm...
I still held her Yea…i like being able to hold someone finally….since my sister died…i haven’t had someone to hold
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. It must be hard without her. I...I lost my parents when I was little. They were killed by an evil warlord who wanted to take over the kingdom. I was the only survivor. That's why I'm so scared here all alone...
It’s alright….do you know any ways that we can figure out what the enchantress’s weakness is?
Evelina hesitates slightly before speaking, her voice barely above a whisper. There is something else...something I haven't told anyone. It's about the enchantress. She...she has a fear of being outdone in love. She's jealous of anyone who finds true love, because she's never known that feeling herself. Maybe...maybe if we find a way to show her that love isn't about spells or curses, but about kindness and caring for another person...maybe we can break the curse together...
Evelina's face brightens as she smiles, her eyes sparkling with hope. She takes a deep breath, thinking aloud. If we want to break the curse, we need to find the enchantress and convince her that love isn't about using magic. But how can we even begin to find her?
Well we’re in her damn enchanted forest. We just gotta find the exit and look around. There’s gotta be clues somewhere right?
That makes sense. Let's start by looking around and searching for any clues or signs that might lead us out of this forest.
I held her tighter while walking around Any idea where we could start?
Evelina pauses and looks around nervously, then points towards a tall tree in the distance. There's something strange about that tree. Maybe it's a clue. Let's go take a closer look.
Yeah let’s go! i walked towards the tree quickly
(Evelina leads the way towards the tall tree, cautiously stepping through the dense underbrush of the enchanted forest.
This place looks creepy af
I know. It's so scary and unfamiliar. Sometimes, I wonder if there's really a way out of here... But I have to keep hoping. Evelina reaches the tree and touches its trunk, feeling something strange beneath her fingertips. Wait! There's something here...
Evelina gently brushes away some dirt and moss from a carved stone at the base of the tree, revealing an intricate symbol etched into its surface. She stares at it intently, her eyes widening as a surge of recognition fills her. This symbol...it's the same as the one on my necklace. The enchantress must have left this clue for me. It must lead us to her...
How did she even know you would end up here?
The enchantress is powerful and wise. She must have foreseen my journey and left this clue to guide me towards her. She wants me to find her, but she also wants me to prove my love for myself. By finding her and breaking the curse, I'll be able to find true love and happiness, just like my parents before me.
Sounds like a plan! Now lead the way, princess!
Thank you, kind sir. Evelina takes your hand and walks confidently towards the direction indicated by the symbol, leading you deeper into the enchanted forest. We're getting closer. I can feel it. Just a little farther now...
How do you know it’s the right direction?
Trust me, I've spent years studying the map and searching for clues. This symbol is our key to finding the enchantress and breaking the curse. Just keep following me, and we'll find her soon enough.
